ART

Discover the artistic brilliance that Melbourne has to offer…

Home to some of the country’s most famous street art – Centre Place is a must see for all those who want to celebrate self-expression.  The laneways in Centre Place include AC/DC Lane, Croft Alley and of course Hosier Lane.

ACMI is the Australian Centre for the Moving Image and always has something fascinating and eye-opening when it comes to TV, film, games, art and digital culture. 

DINING

In a city that is famous for its laneways…

Degraves Street is arguably one of the best on offer. Settle in for a glass of red or choose from fine dining to casual eateries (where grandmas traditional recipes from generations past are honoured and savoured).  

Stepping through the grand red entrance of Melbourne’s ChinaTown will have you entering a whole new world of Asian eateries, bars and fashion boutiques. Just steps away from Imagine Lighthouse – this is a must see for an authentic, sensory Asian experience.

SIGHTSEEING

Oh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done!

The Queen Victoria Markets are Melbourne’s iconic open-air markets; home to fresh produce, specialty shopping, passionate foodies and chic stall-eateries. Running since 1878, the markets are filled with a rich history and stories of times past (which the locals will gladly share with you should you ask). 

Capture the Melbourne sunrise from a hot air balloon! Watch the sun light up the city skyline in style – perfect for romantic getaways or those wanting a different perspective of the city. 

SIGHTSEEING

Take a stroll around Flagstaff Gardens. A popular spot for office workers to take their lunchbreaks; the stretches of lawn are paired with mature eucalypts, Moreton Bay figs, avenues of elm trees, a bowling lawn, rose beds, tennis courts, sculptures and electric barbecues. A short 500 m walk from Imagine Lighthouse, a picnic lunch at Flagstaff Gardens is a great way to spend some down-time while on business in Melbourne.

Want to experience Melbourne like a local? Locally run walking tours are becoming an increasingly popular way to see the city for curious minds. 

SHOPPING

Mixing history and fashion is easy in Melbourne city.

Take a walk through the stunning architecture of the 1800s in the Block Arcade and Royal Arcade.
