Paddy's Market Reviews
Rated out of 5
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 a great place, especially if you’re looking for cute gifts. You can find inexpensive magnets, t-shirts, and various accessories related to Australia. Additionally, it’s an excellent market for fresh vegetables, fruits, and other items.

This is a fantastic market for buying clothes or souvenirs. There are many stalls, and it’s very cheap overall. I didn’t expect such good prices for Australia. The stalls are well-organized, the market is fully covered, and the interior of the building feels new.
You can find clothes, jewelry, souvenirs, etc. There’s also a massage service available inside the market, and they have restrooms, which is a plus since they can be hard to find in the city center. You can also buy fruits.

If you want to keep memories of Sydney, I recommend you to stop by this place. Unlike other tourist attractions, you can purchase various souvenirs at a very reasonable price. Oh, if I had more time, I would have looked around every corner of this market. I hope you don't miss the opportunity I missed when you see my review.

An iconic Sydney experience. The upper level is a mall with food court and wonderful food options. The ground level is a market with many vendors In stalls where you can buy everything from produce to souvenirs to knock off purses. If you buy too many souvenirs, you can buy a suitcase here for very cheap to get all your extra stuff home (that’s what I did). Be aware that not all vendors accept card here, so you should bring some cash. There is an ATM in the mall upstairs.
