Market City Shopping Centre

Market City sits on Hay Street in Haymarket, on the edge of the Sydney CBD beside Chinatown. A bustling shopping centre, it's home to the famous Paddy's Markets along with fashion outlets, specialty shops and a lively food court — the kind of energetic, all-in-one destination that's become a genuine Sydney institution, especially for a bargain.

The appeal is that combination of the iconic Paddy's Markets, outlet and specialty shopping and a great-value food court, all in a buzzing location beside Chinatown, ideal for bargain-hunting, browsing the markets, grabbing fresh produce or a cheap, tasty feed. The mix of markets and retail under one roof, in such a vibrant part of the city, makes it a real drawcard for locals and visitors alike.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. The retailers, the markets' trading days, the food court, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details — particularly the Paddy's Markets days — before a special trip, though for a browse, a bargain or a bite beside Chinatown, you can simply head to Market City in Haymarket.
