Queen Victoria Market - Where Melbourne Comes to Life
Just 900 metres from Pegasus, Queen Victoria Market (or “Vic Market” as locals call it) is more than a shopping destination – it’s a Melbourne institution. Operating since 1878, it’s the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere and a living piece of history. Stroll through vibrant aisles brimming with fresh produce, gourmet cheeses, deli meats, and artisan breads. You’ll find stalls showcasing everything from handmade jewelry and clothing to quirky souvenirs you won’t see anywhere else.
Feeling hungry? Don’t miss the famous hot jam doughnuts – a sweet Melbourne tradition. If you’re visiting on a Wednesday night (seasonal), the Night Market comes alive with global street food, live music, and a lively atmosphere perfect for socialising.
