Why it's worth checking out
Preston Market sits on The Centreway in Preston, in Melbourne's inner north. A famous and much-loved market, it's a genuine institution — a bustling, diverse marketplace bringing together fresh produce, seafood, meat, delis, groceries, food stalls and goods from a wonderfully multicultural array of vendors, all at great value.
The appeal is that combination of fantastic fresh produce, an incredibly diverse range of food and goods, and a vibrant, authentic market atmosphere: from fruit and veg to seafood, cheeses, spices, street food and more, it's a feast for the senses and a brilliant spot to shop, eat and soak up the multicultural character of Melbourne's north. It's beloved for its value, variety and genuine community feel.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 10,400 reviews, it's clearly a hugely popular institution. The market runs on its regular trading days, but stalls, vendors, produce and trading hours vary, so it's worth checking the current details before you go — though for fresh produce, a diverse feed and a vibrant market experience, it's a wonderful way to spend a morning at Preston Market.
