Melbourne & Surrounds
Make an urban escape to a sophisticated, multicultural and world-class city of fun.
Why not holiday in a big city where there’s always plenty happening? Melbourne’s CBD and suburban hubs buzz with culture and character every single day. It’s where big events happen and big names come out to play and perform. Where devoted baristas serve up legendary brews and artisan chefs create hat-winning experiences.
From Melbourne, day trip like there’s no tomorrow –neighbouring regions of Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges, and Daylesford & Macedon Ranges offer more fabulous experiences within easy reach.
Settle in close to the action at your metro, bayside, or just-out-of-town holiday park and get to know Melbourne and surrounds better. Get outdoors with riverbank trails, parks and gardens, zoos, and bush, bayside or wetland walks. Ride Puffing Billy, Australia’s oldest steam railway, through forested hills. Or head to a wellness retreat for a day of pampering.
Dive into a myriad of theatres, galleries and museums as diverse as the MCG, Old Melbourne Gaol, McClelland Sculpture Park and TarraWarra Museum of Art. Seek out an array of cuisines and foodie delights in the city and surrounds. Catch a live show, find a hallowed corner in a whisky bar or show off your best moves at a club.
FIVE FAVES
Walk and talk: Take a guided on-foot tour focused on a theme that grabs you: lanes & arcades, indigenous heritage, foodie culture, urban sustainability, street art and more.
Do a zoo: Zoom in on oodles of critters at Melbourne Zoo, Werribee Open Range Zoo or Healesville Sanctuary.
Rock star: Pack a picnic basket of goodies and head to Hanging Rock Reserve to bush walk, spot wildlife and discover the rock’s mysteries.
Road trip: To the Yarra Valley for award-winning vineyards and cellar doors in ultra-scenic locations.
Hit the fairways or laze on a beach: Mornington Penisula is the ‘home of golf’ with over 19 courses. After your round head to the beach and get the sand between your toes.
