What are the Best Activities in Melbourne?

There are so many things to do in Melbourne, but really, that’s an understatement. It’s no secret that this city is the cultural capital of Australia, with Sydney coming up as a close second (shhhh, don’t tell them). There’s a plethora of art galleries and performance spaces scattered all over town, so much so that you’ll never be at a loss at what to do in Melbourne. But you don’t even have to visit a gallery to be totally immersed in art. All you have to do is walk down a side lane to discover an installation piece, stylistic graffiti and beautiful architecture – all of these on your way for a bite to eat! As you can imagine, the places to visit in Melbourne are endless, and don’t all reside in the CBD as most would think. Its neighbouring suburbs are equally adventurous like Fitzroy and St. Kilda.

There are nooks and crannies of goodness everywhere you turn, everywhere you look. And the most fun things to do in Melbourne are the spontaneous activities we find ourselves doing. But for a more planned day filled with exhilarating Melbourne activities, our range of fun things to do will keep you busy all day long! Even the locals will find an amazing range of experiences they'll want to enjoy in the heart of Melbourne. From hot air ballooning and day spas, to indulging high teas and romantic getaways, you'll find an experience perfect for creating unforgettable memories in Melbourne. What better way to celebrate a special someone's birthday or milestone moment than with an incredible experience in this vibrant city.
