Also known as the Vic Market or the Queen Vic, the Queen Victoria Market has been the heart and soul of Melbourne for more than a century (officially 136 years on March 20, 2014). Extended on 7 hectares, with more than 600 retailers, the Vic Market is a faithful reflection of cosmopolitan side Melbourne. You can find everything there to find fruits and vegetables with local and imported foods, as well as fashion and various products.

Although the photos show products from the market, it also comes to stroll and spend a good time. The good atmosphere is barely felt on the scene. Another important point: the products are really cheap, and this is where the backpackers should come shopping instead of eating noodles at 0.25 ct AUD$.
