One of Melbourne’s most popular markets is the South Melbourne Market, which is a large undercover market with a wide range of produce and general goods sold in its huge range of stalls including food, clothing, footwear, giftware and much more. It is a favorite spot for finding last minute gifts and the most important thing is that it remains open on Sundays. This is one of the main reasons for the market being over crowded on Sundays. Even the food stalls at South Melbourne Market are open on Sundays while at the Victoria Market there are very limited stalls that open on Sundays.
In fact, the hearty ‘dim sims’ available at one of its perimeter shops are very popular with the Melbournians, who come to South Melbourne Market especially for a bite of these heavenly ‘dim sims’. Some other popular food specialties that entice the gourmet to this market are its delicate freshly made dumplings and seafood rolls available at the Chinese store in the deli section.

South Melbourne Market Precinct Parking Guide
Shoppers coming to The South Melbourne Market during market days can park their vehicles in any of the two free parking areas available. With the reopening of the round car park located at the bottom end of York Street another 50 parking spaces are available. For those who want to park in the roof top car park have to enter from the other side of the Market, at the end of Coventry Street (301 car spaces available).
However, on a busy marketing day, the rooftop car park or the York street car park at the Market can fill up pretty quickly. In order to avoid any frustration of having to wait or find a park, you can take the help of a parking guide available, to help you find a parking space around the market.
On non-market days, that is Monday, Tuesday & Thursday when the market remains closed, cars can be parked on the roof top car park, but a parking ticket is required for the same.
