It's historic; it's contemporary; it's full of life and fun. The diversity of different cultures among the stall holders and the food sellers makes it very interesting; way better than any shopping Mall. The buskers were great too.

You always know what you're getting at the Vic Market. It's a must do if you like a good market,you've got fresh food, fruit and flowers and you can buy pretty much anything in the market itself. The coffee spots dotted through the market are a nice addition, going strong as always.
Wow this place was absolutely amazoning the food section is out of this world and sells alsorts of lovely delights, I wish we had similiar in my home town. The tourist bit of the market was great and the souveniers were really cheap, there were also lots of great places to eat.
It seems that only South Australia does not have the great markets which other states have! Good selection of food products, clothing, accessories etc at very reasonable prices. Under-cover, no pushy stall-holders, good transport links.
It doesn't compare to the Silk Market in Beijing or the Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, but it's an entertaining place to spend a few hours, pick up a few souvenirs and taste some great food. Don't miss it. Easy walk from the City Circle Tram and the free Tourist Bus.
The market is not to be missed. It is a great place for souvenir shopping, and we loved strolling through the colorful displays of fresh produce. We had a great 'burger with the lot' in the food court. Getting there is a snap, the free tourist bus stops right out in front of the market.
Great selection of fruit and vegetables and pretty much everything that you'd need for your weekly grocery shopping (for me anyway). Everything was fresh, prices were reasonable and aisles were wide enough not to have to bump into others.
You need to walk a bit from the nearest public transport, which is a pain when you're loaded down with groceries,...

When vendors sell the same items row after row it starts to get a little droll by the end. To find something a little different was like finding GOLD.
That being said, I managed to find a photo journal a friend had been wanting for years and a lovely scarf. My daughter had been looking all week for a jumper...

We had only 45 min to visit the market so we quickly looked into the meat, seafood, deli, fruit and vegitable sections before going to the goods market to buy some fun gifts. I think it would have been fun to have a bit more time to rummage around - perhaps 1 1/2 hr ?
Great market if you're looking to buy food, but was expecting something more like spitalfields market in london with young fashion designers, arts, crafts etc. Only reason for disappointment.
