A market and cluster of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants at 210 to 218 Victoria Street in central Auckland, set in a group of brick buildings first built between 1905 and 1918. The market is known for its history: the buildings originally dealt with the city's rubbish, and the site was once home to a large brick chimney and stables. A Celebrity Walk of Fame, opened in 1984, features the hand and footprints of famous New Zealanders.
The market houses about 40 shops, cafés and restaurants, along with studios and workspaces. It is within walking distance of the city centre, the Sky Tower, Wynyard Quarter, the Fish Market and Ponsonby, so it works well for a coffee and breakfast before a day in town. The courtyard still has old pōhutukawa trees. Our pick in the Auckland CBD for a coffee and a browse in a heritage setting.
