With more than 100 market stalls and stores, there’s plenty for you to see, do and discover!

The Parap Markets, located close to the city in Parap, will tantalise your senses with a mixture of Asian cuisine and the aroma of freshly ground coffee. The Parap Village Market is a great place to shop and is a favourite among locals and visitors alike. Browse the markets, winding through stalls of local produce, local arts and crafts, entertainment and delicious cuisine from around the world.

At Malak Marketplace, you will enjoy shopping, live music, kids’ entertainment and beautiful, market-fresh food throughout the evening. This wonderful community market celebrates all the tastes of tropical life in Darwin; the food, the sounds, the flavours and the diverse cultures that bring communities to life.

The Audit House was built for the Commonwealth Auditor in 1938. The residence is one of a number built in this part of Darwin for high-ranking public servants in the 1930s.

It is now a rare example of a large-scale housing form used in Darwin during 1920-1940.

Audit House is a particularly fine example of tropical housing, the house is carefully designed for climate and is located within a large and well-established garden.

The Darwin Sailing Club is an active and vibrant family orientated club offering year round sailing and hospitality to members and visitors to Darwin from the beautiful clubhouse on Fannie Bay. The open and airy clubhouse on Fannie Bay offers the perfect setting to enjoy the spectacular Darwin sunsets with family and friends.

The Darwin Trailer Boat Club is Darwin’s oldest seaside Club. From its humble origins in 1958, trading from a modified caravan, the Club has grown to become a Darwin institution. Over the past sixty years the Club has forged strong links with the boating and fishing community.

The Club’s westerly aspect is ideal for witnessing Darwin’s famed tropical sunsets. Take a seat under the palms, order a cold ale and enjoy a truly amazing spectacle as the sun sinks into the horizon. Meanwhile the kids can swim in the pool, play in the shaded playground area or watch a video on the big screen. Families won’t be disappointed as they’ll find one of the best located kid friendly venues in the Top End.

Parap Fine Foods is an iconic Darwin institution. Established by the Pantazis family over 50 years ago, the store has grown into much more than a corner store - it's a destination for some of Darwin's best local gourmet food and fine wine. 

Even better, it's right across the road from the Hudson. We'd recommend getting yourself a picnic from Parap Fine Food's famous deli and heading on down to East Point to enjoy the feast and watch the sunset. 

Darwin's coffee culture has taken off over the last few years, and Laneway has proven that the Top End is well deserving of being a part of Australia's trendy and ever-growing café scene. 

In the heart of Parap on a prime corner location and adorned with tropical plants, Laneway serves speciality coffee and fresh, modern all-day dining options. You'll also find a bunch of tasty options for kids on the menu.
