The much-loved Prahran market is one of the premier fresh food markets in Melbourne.
Nearby Greville Street has its own personality with quality homewares, cafes and the renowned Greville Records store. Back on Chapel is the quirky Chapel Street Bazaar where you can browse for vintage clothes, jewellery, furniture and bricabrac, seven days a week.
