Head to The Rocks every Saturday and Sunday to enjoy a colourful market scene in the area’s quaint cobblestone laneways. The Rocks Market have souveniers, food, drink, wine, artisan art and craft and are held in the historic Rocks District giving you a range of dining choices pre or post market.
The city’s biggest produce market is the Sydney Markets, incorporating the Sydney Growers Market, Sydney Flower Market and Sydney Produce Market which is located at Flemington. With a history that reaches back as far as 1788, these markets have something for everyone, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Close to Sydney Olympic Park, the Sydney Markets at Flemington are easily accessed by bus, train, or car.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a funky inner-city market showcasing Sydney’s artistic side, Glebe Markets, Rozelle Weekend Markets, and Paddington Markets offer handmade jewellery, vintage clothing, second hand books, records, shoes, furniture and more. Open every Saturday, these markets are perfect for anyone with a creative streak.

And while we’re speaking of cheap transport I think its worth mentioning Family Funday Sunday tickets. You can explore Sydney and nearby regions with unlimited travel on buses, trains, ferries and light rail for just $2.50 per person which can be quite a significant saving for a family of 3 or 4. You can go as far as the South Coast or visit the Blue Mountains for the day for just $2.50.
During the event, the main street of Katoomba is closed to motor traffic and open to pedestrian traffic. This allows the whole town to become a performance space. The streets are lined with market stalls and everybody who attends is encouraged to dress in costume and participate!
