Paddy's Market

Located on the ground floor, Sydney's iconic Paddy's Market has been at this site off and on over the decades. This has been its permanent Haymarket home for the past 25 years. You get variety and colour. It's always an eye-opener for the young ones. Their jingle is, "You haven't been to market till you've been to Paddy's." Development in the surrounding areas (Darling Harbour & light rail project closing roads) has impacted foot traffic in recent years, it has taken a bit of the sparkle out of this once vibrant institution. Commercial pressures in recent years have seen some oldtime traders leave the place. There are still a mishmash of stalls and products - clothing, knick-knacks, general goods, fresh fruits and vegetables. Official hours are 10am - 6pm. On Wednesdays Paddy's Haymarket is partly open (there's a story behind this), Thursdays to Sundays it's fully open. Should be on the list of places to see if you're visiting Sydney. You might even get to meet some traders/stallholders who are really colourful characters.

Fairly decent for a look. Mostly Chinese stalls selling the same old "quality" items. A lot of repeat stalls, so if you see 1/4 of the place, you've seen it all. Some of them struggled to understand when asked if they have something that they don't normally get asked. Place was fine though, go for a look!

I like this market for their prices and location. First floor you can find fresh vegetables and fruits, souvenirs, bags, costumes. Next floor you can find pharmacy with nice stuff and nice skin care products. Also there is a good court with Chinese, Thai cousin, sushi, some brands of clothes.
