Top 10 Flea & Street Markets in Sydney, New South Wales

March 1, 2022 Mikaela Didonna

Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

The Rocks Markets

Shop local goods in this open-air market on Saturdays and Sundays with the Sydney Harbour Bridge as your backdrop. From handmade jewelry to photos, it's the perfect place to pick up a souvenir.

Reviewed By 997briant - London, United Kingdom

This is a very popular market along some of the atmospheric cobbled streets of The Rocks, in the shadow of the girders of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It’s certainly in a beautiful location, and it’s certainly worth a visit, especially if you are a visitor to Australia and looking for a unique souvenir to take back home. You’ll need a couple of hours here, to see all at a leisurely pace. It does get crowded. It’s a weekend market, operating on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 to 17:00; we visited on a very warm Saturday in February 2020. This market is the perfect place to explore a kaleidoscopic collection of different types of artworks, hand- crafted jewellery, pottery and ceramics, locally-designed fashion, beauty products, photographs, knick-knacks, artifacts and high quality souvenirs and unique products of Australia. There’s some very talented artists and crafters amongst the exhibitors. Most of the market is arranged under a huge sail-like shady canopy. It’s thoughtful and carefully orchestrated blend of contrasting goods like homemade, local arts, and imported articles from different countries, works well. Every stall is different. There’s plenty of food and drink vendors here also; grab a bite to eat from one of the many food vendors, to fuel your exploration, or head across to the nearby waterfront or grassy stretches to enjoy a picnic. You may also stumble across live music and some street performers. Getting there is easy. It is nestled next to Sydney's CBD in the historic district of The Rocks, off George Street; it’s just footsteps from the ferries, trains and buses of Circular Quay and Wynyard. We’ve visited a few times now, on trips to Sydney from the U.K., and have purchased a few unique items of Australiana. The quality is there, and I don’t think goods are overpriced. You’ll certainly get nicer, and more unique, items than you’ll find in the mainstream souvenir shops! But if you want those blow-up plastic boxing kangaroos, or stubbie holders, or plastic boomerangs, this is not the spot for you.
