A great shopping experience with Low price tags to suit our pockets - like T-shirts, souvenirs, freeze magnets, toys and many many more.Quality is good and items found worth buying. So Sydney Visit is incomplete without visiting this place. A great experience.

Large market in the basement of Haymarket mall. Lots of vendors selling fresh fruits and veggies and there was also a seafood shop that was on the level above.

You'll find something here for anyone, jewelry, costumes, tech, clothing, toys, something sexy. Comes with a hilarious warning, if you get dragged in for a massage, they may push for a full body massage.
The food in the farmers market section was so fresh, vibrant and large. Better than you'll get in the supermarket most of the time.

Paddy’s Market is one of my go-to spots in Sydney, and I always make sure to bring my guests here when they visit. It’s the perfect place to grab souvenirs at the best prices, whether it’s cute trinkets, Australian-themed gifts, or fresh produce. The vibrant atmosphere and variety of stalls make it such a fun experience, and it’s great knowing my guests can find something unique without breaking the bank.
