Queen Victoria Market Visitor Hub
Our Visitor Hub is temporarily closed.
Further to the City of Melbourne’s announcement regarding the temporary closure of some Council facilities, we have been advised that all City of Melbourne Visitor Hubs will be closed until further notice. Regrettably this includes the closure of the Queen Victoria Market Visitor Hub located on the corner of String Bean Alley and Queen Street. This decision will be regularly reviewed and there may be an extension of the closure, subject to further guidance from the City of Melbourne and other relevant authorities.
