Must see attractions in Sydney, Australia
"Unlike the other markets on this list, Paddy’s is a permanent fixure of Sydney’s China town district, open five days a week. It’s a combination of a fresh food market, as well as a Hong Kong-style street market (think bags, clothing, and electronics…not all licensed…). It’s not far from Central station, but if you’re driving, book a spot on Share with Oscar first, as parking in Sydney City is tough."
"Visitors looking to get the cheapest deals on the best quality produce that Sydney has to offer should visit Paddy’s Market. Although the market site in Flemington is much larger, it is the Haymarket site of Paddy’s Market, with its flea market atmosphere, that attracts the crowds. Visitors will find a range of local produce and fresh seafood on offer."
"You’ll need some time just to take it all in at the bustling atmosphere at Paddy’s Market on the bottom floor of Market City. Visitors can find almost anything at Sydney’s biggest market.

Inside visitors will find almost 80 retail stores, with products ranging from designer clothing to specialist body and beauty products."
"This three-story heritage-listed arcade sits in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, connecting Pitt Street Mall to George Street. Named after The Strand (shopping street) in London.
