Seventy Traders Under One Roof

Adelaide Central Market has been feeding the city since the 1870s and remains one of the largest undercover produce markets in the southern hemisphere. Around 70 traders fill the space with fresh produce, cheese, seafood, bakery goods and small eateries, making it as much a place to eat lunch as it is to shop for dinner.

It's a market that rewards wandering without a plan, whether you're picking up ingredients, grabbing a coffee, or just soaking up the atmosphere of one of Adelaide's most-loved institutions. One thing worth knowing before you go: it's closed on Sundays and Mondays, so it's best paired with a weekday or Saturday visit.

The Central Market is about 1.6 km from Hume — roughly a 20 minute walk across the city, or a short bus ride.

When is the Adelaide Central Market open?

The market trades Tuesday through Saturday and is closed Sundays and Mondays. Hours vary by day, with Friday and Saturday the longest — check current trading hours before you go.

Can I cook what I buy at the market?

Yes. Every apartment at Hume has a full kitchen with a cooktop, microwave, dishwasher and large refrigerator, so market shopping is practical rather than decorative. It's one of the main reasons guests choose an apartment over a hotel room for longer stays.

Is there anywhere to eat at the market?

Yes — alongside the produce traders there are small eateries, bakeries and coffee stalls throughout, and Chinatown sits directly alongside the market.

Should I walk or take the tram?

Either works. The walk is 20 minutes across the city; the tram drops you at Victoria Square a block away. If you're buying more than you want to carry, the tram back is the easier option.
