The Queen Victoria Market is a major landmark in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Covering over seven hectares, it is the largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere. Constructed in stages from the 1860s and officially opened in 1878, the Queen Victoria Market is the last remaining major market in the CBD, and along with Prahran Market and South Melbourne Market, the last of the city's Victorian era markets still operating.
It is listed on both the
Victorian Heritage Register and the National Heritage List, and is one of
Melbourne's major tourist sites, attracting approximately 10 million
visitors annually. Hop off the tram at Flagstaff Station. [include1/match-con.htm] |
