Greville Records
Prahran
Fodor's choice
A Melbourne music institution, Greville Records carries rare releases in rock, alternative, and vinyl.
Queen Victoria Market
City Center
Fodor's choice
This market has buzzed with food and bargain shoppers since 1878. With more than 600 mostly open-air stalls, this sprawling, spirited bazaar is the city's prime produce outlet—many Melburnians come here to buy strawberries, honey, fresh flowers, imported cheeses, meat, and eye-bright fresh fish. There is a section for certified organic produce, and the beautiful Dairy Produce Hall is a plethora of cheeses, fresh pasta and breads, coffee, and deli delights. On Sunday there is less food and more great deals on jeans, T-shirts, and souvenirs. Food trucks and live music on weekends lend the market a festive air.
