Melbourne’s most atmospheric shopping experiences

When you’re out shopping in Melbourne, make sure to add these markets, popular shopping centres and independent stores to your list. Iconic markets such as South Melbourne Market, Queen Victoria Market and Eden Gardens are great for soaking in the city’s culture and shopping for local foods and crafts. Stock up on Australian souvenirs, Aboriginal artworks and cultural artefacts at Something Aussie, visit Wunderkammer Antiques and Vintage Garage to hunt for rare antiques, buy unique home decor products from the Third Drawer Down store in Prahran, take your children to Australian Geographic and The Teddy Bear Shop, indulge in confectionaries at Ganache Chocolate, or explore the countless cafes, restaurants and shops at large shopping centres like Myer and Chadstone—shopping in Melbourne is so much more than just acquiring new things.
