🇦🇺Melbourne | Winter Night Market
My friend led me to this winter market in Melbourne yesterday. It was one of the most popular places in the city. There were shops and food stores around. It’s a surprise to me seeing people doing silence disco and a clown performing his tricks.
The best of the night was snow!!! Can’t imagine it’s snowing at the market.
The winter market is operating every Wednesdays with fun activities to carry out. It’s so different from the morning one.
Highlights - Snow and everything you couldn’t imagine
Avg. Price per Person - Free for entrance
Rating - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

พาส่องงาน Winter Night market ที่ตลาดวิคตอเรีย 💫🛍️
Queen victoria market famous sugar doughnuts did not disappoint. It was freshly made on the spot and served hot. Did not know that there was jam inside but eventhough i was never a fan of jam doughnuts, it did not taste bad. The jam was sweet but light.
The dough was soo good , not too heavy and soft and the sugar was just right.
Price wise: 5 for $10 was a little pricy considering that it was alot cheaper years back.
Do drop by when you are visiting Queen Victoria market in Melbourne, Victoria.

People’s Favorite Queen Victoria Market!
#visitmelbourne #melbourne #australia #tripblazers
QVM is always a go-to destination for everyone visiting or living in Melbourne! They sell EVERYTHING there. From fresh produce to tourist’s souvenirs, cheeses and wines to arts and crafts, various food trucks, make sure you bring a big shopping bags (or better, shopping trolley!) here.
Follow the crowd when you’re there. I noticed a very long queue and they were all queuing for a $1 bags of veggies. Can’t buy those at supermarkets for sure!
Address - Queen St, Melbourne, Australia
Opens everyday except Monday and Wednesday (but they have Night Market on Wednesdays during winter time).

Souvenirs Haven - Queen Victoria Market 🛍️
#wecreate
Buying souvenirs during your travel can be a bit complicated sometimes as it depends on the space on our luggage/bag left, the price and also the weight you have to carry after.
But no need to worry as in Queen Victoria Market you will be able to purchase various type of souvenirs. There’s lot of option such as keychains, socks, tote bag, T-shirt, woodcraft and the list just goes on.
The price is so affordable as you can get about 6-10 magnets/keychain combo for as low as AUD10. A really good bargain compared to the other shops. Besides souvenirs, you can also grab some food as there’s lot of food truck and cafe in the market area offering variety of meals/snacks.
And if you’re planning to visit State Library Victoria its just around 10 minutes walk and you may continue your journey to Chinatown after that - only 5 minutes walk.

When in Melbourne, I love heading to Queen Victoria Market. The place is bustling with life and only the freshest produce and food are sold there. Queen Victoria Market is one of the largest open air market in Melbourne and one should head there for an authentic Aussie experience. You will see tons of freshly cooked food, fruits, vegetables and crafts sold in the market. There's always lots to discover and explore at the market. It has a fantastic vibe with amazing variety and the market can be easily reached by public transport or if you drive, there's ample parking space. Enjoy Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne!

Get A Burek Here (Queen Victoria Market)
Address: Queen St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
Amenities: Wet market, dry market, both indoor and outdoor variants, selling raw food, cooked food, service stores and many more
Rating: 4/5
Highlight: Burek
The largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere! That’s what google says when I was researching for my trip. Well it’s true, it was really very big! It was really cool being here, soaking in the environment, listening to artists basking outside the market. The whole experience was a treat!
What was most impressive to us was just the variety of things being sold at the market. The indoor market had stores selling raw meat, coffee beans, cooked food, toys and just many many different things. Their outdoor market had stores that sold honey, fruits, accessories, clothes, and even had stores that takes pictures of your eye pupils.
My main takeaway from this place is the Burek. It’s actually a middle eastern pastry. Usually with flaky dough and stuffed with meat, cheese or potatoes. It’s like a variant of a chicken pot pie, or curry puff. Be sure to try one out if you decide to visit this place!

The Mussel Pot That's Worth The Wait
Wait 30 minutes for a bowl of yummy mussels. Like what? But this bowl of mussels from the mussel pot food truck at queen Victoria Market in Melbourne is worth the wait. The queue can be as long as a 45 minutes wait at times.
When I was there, there was already a group of people waiting patiently for their mussels and it's no surprise why this food truck is so popular. I had the white wine garlic mussels, served with a slice of crispy bread. The dish was comforting, and the mussels were fresh and tasted garlicky and yummy! Their coconut cream chili mussels was also highly recommended.
Now that I m back home, I really miss this dish and food truck alot. I can't seem to recreate the same taste or recipe as The Mussel Pot food truck. Wish I can back in Melbourne for this!

Artsy handmade crafts
Many shops at Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne sell amazing handcrafted works of art. From graffiti paintings, to handmade soap, to intricately cut-out greeting cards, there is an endless number of nice souvenirs to buy. It can get a little crowded so the tip is to go earlier when the market is just opening up.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#celebratewithtrip
this is a must try in Melbourne Australia! went to the queen Victoria market which is also a place you should definitely visit during your time in Melbourne. you can take a tram here directly from the central business district and stops right outside the market. the doughnuts were so good. this is like a food truck on its own and you should definitely get one. the sugar on the doughnuts make it so much better and the jam was so great’ even though I wasn’t someone who likes jam. highly recommended to try!! store owner were also very friendly and you can choose to buy 1 or 5, or any quantity depending on your choice.

Super fresh huge Oysters
Yum yum, first time I saw the big and fresh Oysters, we got them from Victoria Market, VIC. Taste so fresh and lovely.
Another famous food at Victoria Market is doughnut. Long waiting line but worth for the waiting to eat the beautiful doughnut. 5 for $7.50
We took the free tram from the city to a tram stop calls Victoria Street. You will find it is a big market, selling a lot of very beautiful bags, clothes, earrings, art works, toys and so on.
There are another section selling fruits and veggie. I enjoyed shopping here with my family. Everyone including my husband bought stuff that we like. #familytravel

When I was traveling abroad, I liked to go to the local food market and feel the authentic humanities. The effect of taking pictures and recording videos was particularly good.
We generally call this market Wei Ma. Here, you can see wonderful street performers, buy the most authentic Australian cuisine (such as grilled kangaroo meat) and souvenirs, and find Chinese bosses to buy Asian vegetables and spices. The market is divided into several areas, selling raw meat, fruits and vegetables, cooked food, souvenirs, plants, etc., the owner of each store is very warm and hospitable. Especially when closing the door every afternoon, the owner of the vegetable shop will sip a big sale, and you can buy a lot of dishes and go home haha.
There are regular events in the market, such as the European Food Festival, Book Fair, Winter Night Market, Photo Exhibition and more.
Next week (June 22nd) there is a grand truffle food festival where you can taste a variety of delicious truffle products such as truffle pizza, chocolate, cheese and more. Going to the restaurant to eat truffles is not only expensive, but also difficult to find genuine, but at the Victorian Loose Festival, you can taste the most authentic Australian truffles at the best price! The
location is in the city centre and is located in the free tram area. Take tram 19, 57 or 59 to get off at Elizabeth St, or take bus 55 to get off at Peel St. Be sure to check the business hours of the day before you go~
Recommended shops:
The Chicken Pantry:
has been open for more than 20 years, mainly for sellers of poultry. Also selling the fried kangaroo meat, the taste is very good, not smashing or chaos, and the taste of beef is very similar, it is recommended to visitors to feel it!
Bills Farm Dairy Shop:
One of the best dairy stores in Melbourne, the cheese variety in the store is very comprehensive. Here you can buy Australia's best quality blue cheese, truffle cheese and more.
M&G Caiafa Bakery:
This is a bread shop that has been open for more than 40 years. Many locals go from snacks to big ones. You can buy a cup of hot chocolate with fresh hot sizzling, open a full day ~
Rewine Grape Hotel:
A wine shop opened by a passionate old couple, mainly selling Australian local wine. It is characterized by the ability to bring empty bottles to refill at a discounted price, which is very environmentally friendly.
Joe Leuzzi Florist:
The reason for recommending this flower shop is that their shop is a small pavilion on the roadside, and the photo is very good. There is always a street performer next door to the store. It is very literary, very Melbourne~
Koko Black handmade chocolate shop:
This is my unlimited chocolate shop! I don't usually like to eat sweet and greasy chocolate, but this family has a lot of handmade chocolates, and the packaging is good for giving. I love to buy macadamia with dark chocolate, slightly bitter, and the taste is not too greasy, delicious and healthy.
Market lane coffee:
Melbourne's famous coffee chain, currently has six. Coffee beans are baked by themselves and will be replaced by season.

Eppings Melbourne!
Had the best time time in Melbourne in June! It was winter so the temperature was perfectly chilly and cool. Went over for a friend's wedding but managed to squeeze some time for detours to Queen Victoria Market and shopping at Target, Coles and Big W.
I'm glad I stayed near Eppings Mall cos it was so convenient to have so many shops and eateries around you when you don't have time to travel too far.

Exploring Melbourne: A Journey Throught Iconic Landmarks
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Melbourne, a city that truly captures the essence of both history and modernity. My adventure took me to some of Melbourne's most iconic spots, each with its own unique charm and story.
Flinders Street Station was my first stop, and it didn't disappoint. This historic railway station, with its stunning architecture and bustling energy, is the perfect place to start a journey through Melbourne. The iconic clocks at the entrance make for a perfect photo opportunity, and the nearby laneways are filled with vibrant street art and cozy cafes.
Just a short walk away, I found myself at St Paul’s Cathedral. The grandeur of this Gothic Revival cathedral is truly breathtaking.
From there, I made my way to the State Library of Victoria. The library's majestic domed reading room is a sight to behold, with its soaring ceiling and rows upon rows of books. It’s a perfect place to relax and immerse yourself in the world of literature.
No trip to Melbourne would be complete without exploring its famous markets. I visited the Queen Victoria Market, where the sights, sounds, and smells are a feast for the senses. From fresh produce and gourmet foods to unique souvenirs and artisan crafts, there’s something for everyone.
I also stopped by the South Melbourne Market, another gem that showcases the city’s love for food and shopping. The market’s food hall is a foodie’s paradise, offering a wide range of cuisines and delicacies.
Overall, Melbourne is a fantastic city with a rich blend of history, culture, and modern life. Whether you’re a history buff, foodie, or just looking to soak in the vibrant atmosphere, Melbourne has something to offer everyone.

What to do in Melbourne on a Sunday morning?
Check out Queen Victoria market!
It’s located within free tram zone so there’s no way you’ll miss checking out this place! Unless you want to sleep in😅
Try the popular freshly made jam doughnuts! Just make sure to come early as the queue gets crazy later in the day. $10 for 5 doughnuts
If you are a fan of meat! Try the mix platter from the red tent that sells porchetta. The best $20++ I spent 🤤, good for 2 people or 3 for small eaters
