Paddy's Markets are located at Haymarket (near Chinatown) and Flemington (near Sydney Olympic Park). The markets cater for both locals and tourists and they claim to have over 1,000 stalls that sell almost everything from fashion and accessories, sporting goods, fresh fruit and vegetables, pets supplies, clothing, electrical goods to arts and crafts and souvenirs.

If you want it, they most likely will have a stall that sells it. Even if you don't want to buy, a wander around the stalls taking in the sights, sounds and smells is really worth the experience.

Haymarket is open Thursday to Sunday from 9:00 to 17:00; and Flemington on Friday and Sunday from 10:00 or 9:00 respectively to 16:30.
