Its covered aisles mix fresh produce, seafood, deli counters, flowers and small independent shops, making it as useful for a breakfast stop as for stocking an apartment kitchen. Choose a few things as you wander instead of committing the whole visit to one queue.\n\nThe full market trades on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Wednesday is a particularly useful choice for a midweek Melbourne day; Friday runs an hour later than the other market days. Some Coventry Street traders open on Thursdays and Cecil Street restaurants have their own longer schedules, but that does not mean the whole market is open.\n\nBegin with coffee or breakfast, explore the food aisles, then make time for flowers, homewares and the SO:ME retail space. Finish with lunch on Cecil Street or a walk through South Melbourne. This is a flexible two-hour outing, with extra time if you want a sit-down meal.
