Melbourne is a mixture of suburban op-shopping, fruit and veg markets, and massive city malls. Depending on what you are after, or whether you are looking for a certain vibe while shopping, depends on what you want to buy and where you want to buy it.
Clothing-wise, Melbourne is a unique mix of catwalk chic and dustbin deals, and depending on you vibe, you can always mix the two. Chapel Street in Prahran is the place to be for the well at heal, footballer’s girlfriends or Paris Hilton wannabes, while Brunswick Street in Fitzroy might suit the taste of someone looking for something a bit different.
Food-wise,
Queen Victoria Market is the place to go, and many smaller suburbs will often have a market where fresh fruit, vegetable, seafood, poultry and meat are readily available.
Melbourne also has a great range of record stores for the serious collector, including Dixons Recycled, Northside Records, Polyester Records, Collectors Corner, Higher Level Records, plus many others.
