Did You Know?
The Victoria Street Market is known as the Vic to its vendors.
Browse over 170 stalls and you will find a uniquely South African eclectic mix of African and Indian products. The ground floor has a fish and seafood market, fresh meat, fruit, vegetables and spices.
The top floor is popular with international visitors, offering more conventional shopping for souvenirs, crafts, jewellery and fabrics. And if bargaining is your thing, at the Victoria Street Market not only is it fun, it is expected.
Durban’s Answer To Billingsgate Fish Market
The Victoria Street Market is Durban’s answer to Billingsgate, London’s famous fish market, as vendors bellow invitations to buy boatloads of fresh fish alongside piles of frozen prawns and crabs. With stalls overflowing with animal entrails, and minibus taxis jamming the streets, this is not a shopping expedition for the faint-hearted but is a must see destination for every visitor to Durban.
