Pictures
of the Queen Victoria Market
Melbourne's
Queen Victoria Market is bust inner-city market to the top end of
the Central Business District.
The
market has a huge range of stalls - selling clothing, souvenirs
and hand crafts - and a host of eateries where you can grab a coffee
or bite to eat.
One
of my favourite things to do at the market is people watch as you
see a wide cross-section of the city coming through the historic
site which is known locally as the Vic Market.
Many
Melburnians go to the Vic Market for its huge range of fresh and
gourmet foods.
The
food halls are just fabulous - and the heritage shop fronts and
arcades are too - as well as being filled with wonderful things
to eat.
Salamis,
hams, fish, seafood, cheeses, breads ... oh I could go on but I'm
getting hungry at the thought of the Provelon cheese we got there
and ate during our journey down the Great Ocean Road.
The
Queen Victoria Market is open five days a week - Tuesday and Thursday
to Sunday
It
is on the corner of Elizabeth and Victoria streets in the CBD and
you can enter it from Elizabeth St, Victoria St, Peel St or Therry
St.
If
you have an hour or two to spare then you should make the effort
to see the food halls at least.
