The Victoria Street Market, on the corner of Queen and Victoria Streets, close to some of the best accommodation in Durban, is rather like stepping into another world, with its blend of all things Indian and African. Spices and incense rent the air in which more than 200 stalls display their wares.

The market is the perfect place to pick up a souvenir or two to take home, and no visit to Durban is complete without a stop here.
The city of Durban (eThekwini) is home to one of the largest populations of Indians outside India, and the market is a reflection of the city’s historical ties with India.
While the current Victoria Street Market was built at the beginning of the 1980s, it replaced the famous Indian Market which dated back to 1910, but was destroyed by fire in 1973.
The new, modern building has two storeys featuring underground parking and purple Indian minarets that make the market resemble a Maharajah's palace.

I was born and brought up on the KZN SOUTH COAST but spent most of my early life at my aunts house in Durban. We visited the original Indian market regularly for our fresh produce and other daily nessesities and not forgetting the cinemas on Victoria street. Alway finishing the day with a bunny chow at Victory Lounge. Living now in Cape Town since 2000, the video brings back memories. Thank you.

You're rather brave to visit this part of town. Thanks for sharing, its nice to see that the shop keepers are friendly.🌺

[@SumeranGovender]

Its actually not that scary inside

[@kubenkain7169]

Pam's Kitchen offers you an amazing experience with a selection of Heritage Foods and they know the history of Durban which is been eroded or neglected. The food is interesting and of exceptional quality and clean. When it is not too busy having them sit with you in conversation about the history of Durban is very educational. I believe that they run a similar set up at the Chatsworth Flea Market as well. Getting to the inside is a nightmare though!

[@selveranipillay636]

Nice 👍 video brings a.lot . memories . Visiting the market every Saturday morning in the 80s n 90s

[@SumeranGovender]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jayanthirampersadh5612]

Such beautiful memories. Its been ages since I visited the market. My young adult sons have not visited the market as yet, we always was concerned about the safety there, but good to know about the covered parking. You have captured this so beautifully. Thank you.

[@ramennaidoo162]

I last visited this market before it got ravaged by fire. My late brother in law who was a bus driver, he used bring me here for a meal. I am talking about when I was living with my sister in Bank road. I was just 8 yrs old then. Then, later around 1960 my friends I used to go and have our meals here. Old memories never die.

[@SumeranGovender]

I am glad to bring back some good memories for you.

[@priscillanaidoo1132]

[@VeronicaNaidoo-ow1kj]

Love the good old days but now we can't go there with all the crime

[@SumeranGovender]

Hi Veronica I had a great experience at the market.

[@malaniadoo4731]

Not safe anymor with robbers...we dont take a chance..

[@MarcCochrane]

What a supermarket its lots of indians and Zulus 😂😂😂

[@SumeranGovender]

People of all color were there enjoying the market and buying stuff

[@michellemaistry3170]

Shew but you're either a brave star or too non compos mentis to go to Warwick avenue market .... No sane person ever goes there anymore 😮 Most parts of Durban central have now become Nigerian / Zimbabwean terrority with an increase in robberies and muggings .... even the Workshop and the Wheel are no go zones these days

[@SumeranGovender]

Its not bad. I actually had no worries going there

[@nelsonchinasamy9857]

Don't be so scared man, visit. I don't live in KZN since 2000. But whenever I visit. People keep telling me don't visit certain places but I still do. I haven't visited this market but will do next time.

[@svmclever]

I've lived there before, take the fear out of your head. In actual fact, a safe place or an unsafe place doesn't exist. You create safety wherever you are by making the right decisions and you create danger by making foolish decisions. Everything begins with you. That's why we need to repent from wrong decision making, and use the wisdom of God to make the right decisions.

[@paulgraham3901]

I was in Victoria market a couple of weeks ago and I was more scared of the crazy traffic, 😂😂saying that I was not alone , I was with a few local people

[@malaniadoo4731]

Too much robbery.
