Queen Victoria Building

An ornate Romanesque Revival shopping building fills an entire city block with domes, stained glass, tiled floors and multi-level galleries.

Queen Victoria Building

Why go

The QVB is worth entering even without plans to shop. Central voids reveal decorated railings across several floors, clocks hang beneath the great dome, and restored details preserve the late nineteenth-century ambition of a civic market hall. It can become crowded, so move beyond the ground floor and look back across the galleries from upper levels.

What to look for

  • The QVB is worth entering even without plans to shop.
  • Central voids reveal decorated railings across several floors, clocks hang beneath the great dome, and restored.

Useful to know

  • Check current official access or event information before setting out.
