Getting around: In the centre of Inverness, just off Academy Street, an easy walk from anywhere in the city.
Hours: Open during standard shopping hours, roughly Monday-Saturday 9am-5:30pm; individual stalls vary and it's generally closed Sundays.

The Victorian Market is a covered arcade market dating to the 1870s, its glass-roofed walkways lined with a mix of independent shops, cafes, and specialty retailers, including outdoor and Highland-themed goods, jewellery, and gifts. It's a modest, functional shopping arcade rather than a major sight, but its Victorian ironwork and glass roof give it more character than a typical modern shopping centre.

It's a good spot for a coffee break or to pick up Highland-themed souvenirs while exploring central Inverness, rather than a destination requiring dedicated time. Its central location makes it an easy, low-commitment stop between other sights in the city.

A quick browse takes 20-30 minutes.
