Lord Mayor of Melbourne

A message from the

Lord Mayor of Melbourne

Melbourne is in full bloom in spring, with warmer days and plenty of sunshine.

Make a day of it or plan a staycation at one of the exciting new hotels that have opened recently and take the time to explore all that’s new in the City of Melbourne.

From sunrise to sunset ,enjoy the outdoors in our beautiful parks and gardens on the waterfront at Docklands.

Explore our much-loved laneways – they’ve changed since you’ve been away – with creative artists bringing them to life with lights, art and sound.

See what’s new in Melbourne’s retail offerings. Peruse the latest spring fashion direct from the catwalk to our unique laneway boutiques or browse designer collections in our shopping malls.

Book tickets to one of the latest theatre productions or check out the internationally acclaimed contemporary art on display at one of the city’s many galleries or exhibitions.

Wrap up a busy day with a visit to one of the city’s sophisticated bars, restaurants or cosy cafes and experience first hand why Melbourne is one of the culinary capitals of the world. So many new rooftop bars and alfresco dining venues have opened across town, so there are plenty of options to explore. To see what’s coming up on our city’s calendar of events, visit the What’s On Melbourne website.

I can’t wait to see you in the city again.

Sally Capp Lord Mayor
