Whether you're on the hunt for bargains, or just want to pick up some fresh produce, there is no denying that markets can be great places to shop. Even if all you want to do is browse, it can be a fun way to spend an afternoon. Unfortunately many markets all fall at the same time, so how do you make the choice of which one to visit? We thought we'd try and make it a bit clearer, with your help of course. We're on the lookout for Sydney's best market.



If you're come across somewhere that sells the freshest oranges and apples then we want to hear where it is. Or if your house is decorated with some uniquely fabulous pieces we want to know which market you picked them up from. Fill us in and tell us which market you choose to frequent the most.

Paddington Markets might be once place on your list. Every Saturday this spot fills up with around 200 stall holders, and even more visitors. If you're into clothing, jewellery, or arts and crafts, then chances are you'll find something here. There is so much to browse through and choose, and if you start getting tired there are drinks and food on offer to perk you up.

Perhaps you prefer heading to the beach and checking out the Bondi Markets, where you can find fresh produce on a Saturday at the farmers markets, and fashion and other bits and bobs on a Sunday. When the weather warms up these are especially popular because you can enjoy not only the markets, but Bondi Beach too.

For vintage, antique, and bric a brac, try Rozelle Markets. They're open every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and here you'll find a huge collection of second hand and pre-loved items. You can find music, books, homewares, jewellery, clothing, and more, and it is a great place to head if you're looking for a one of a kind piece.

We haven't even hit the tip of the iceberg with this list, you can head to the Glebe Markets for some vintage clothing, or check out the Manly Markets for some interesting art work. If you're a fan of seafood you can check out the Sydney Fish Markets, for some fresh fish to cook at home, or try the Northside Produce Markets for fresh breads, pasta, and organic meat and vegetable.

So let us know what you think, which market is the best of the best? Where can you find the best produce, or the most unique clothing? Have you discovered an absolute gem that just isn't raved about enough? Well you can let us know it all here, and help us on the search for Sydney's Best Market.

The markets in the Entertainment Quarter on Wed and Sat are awesome. Such great quality produce, flowers and food stalls to look at, many a scrumptious thing to purchase, even if your thighs will make you feel a touch bit guilty about it later :-)

The addison road market in marrickville is great for fresh produce and music. The reverse garbage place is there also. Plenty of bargains with stuff that no one wants but is utterly useful and lovely.
