Paddy's Markets Haymarket

Love a good bargain! ... But my fav is the fresh fruits and veggies!

You can taste the difference immediately when you eat the fruits from here! - they are much fresher and crisper than the supermarkets!

The experience of the vegetable market is unique too- you will feel like you are haggling on the streets of China! Haha

We stumbled across here on a Wednesday not realising it was open, however only about half the stalls were actually trading. This was enough for a potter and an easy snag of a bargain of a dress for $29. There is handy parking underneath the building also.

There is nowhere else that offers such a wide range of affordable and interesting costumes and lingerie.

Reasonable for fresh produce - stalls that have heaps of green, leafy vegetables, in season fruits (yumm for the mangoes in Summer time!), tofu, seafood in the back section (fish but look out for sustainable species - the marine life are having a hard time thanks very much!). It's packed though so keep an eye on your wallet and buy away. The rest of the market is full of general merchandise that ranges from incense to batteries to UGG boots and pet supplies.. I don't take too much interest in the general stuff but it always looks busy enough.

Just awful - the absolute pits and to be avoided at ALL costs; the same tacky imported merchandise repeated over and over at multiple stalls, disinterested staff, no sense of layout, just a random mess. AND, forget getting a bargain because the outrageous and rip-off parking charges (Wilson) will send you broke and leave a final bad memory as you leave. Sorry, but yet another reason to avoid Sydney City in favour of to suburban attractions.
