City Attractions


The modernist Melbourne Museum is the largest museum complex in the southern hemisphere.

Spread over six huge levels, half of which are below ground level, the museum draws on the latest technology to give an insight into Australia’s flora, fauna and culture.


For the true Melbourne sporting experience, head to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) or Telstra Dome to watch an Australian Football League (AFL) game.

Experience the spectacular excitement of our unique and favourite sport, where an average match can attract an almost capacity crowd of vocal – yet peaceful – supporters.

Played in the winter months from March to September, games are played on Friday nights, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. For game information phone AFL (+61 3 9643 1999) or Ticketmaster7 (1300 136 122 – Australia only).

 

Getting around Melbourne is easy, thanks to an integrated network of trains, trams and buses.

The city’s famous trams travel along most of Melbourne’s major thoroughfares, extending out to about 15 kilometres into the suburbs.

Visitors can also use the burgundy and gold City Circle Tram, which does a free 30-minute circuit around the city centre, linking major attractions and other transport routes.


The 253-metre-high Rialto Towers Building is the tallest office building in the southern hemisphere and one of the most recognised icons in Melbourne.

Take the high-speed lift to Level 55 for the Melbourne Observation Deck, which boasts spectacular 360-degree views of Melbourne and the surrounding area.


The Melbourne Aquarium is a ‘must-see’ attraction for any visitor to Melbourne.

Conveniently located on the banks of the Yarra River in the city centre, the state-of-the-art Melbourne Aquarium harbours thousands of creatures from the Southern Ocean.
