MELBOURNE CONVENTION AND

EXHIBITION CENTRE

Visiting Melbourne

Take a break from your conference and venture out on a short journey of discovery. There’s a lot to love about Melbourne, including a huge choice of restaurants and cafés, charming laneways, fabulous shopping and diverse inner city precincts. Here’s some information to help you make the most of your visit.

DiningFrom cheap eats to fine dining, rooftop bars to underground cellars, the city has it covered.

Whether you’re looking for a little taste of home or yearning for something exotic, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to international cuisine.

Many Melbourne precincts are associated with food, from the Greek atmosphere of Lonsdale Street and the Italian character of Carlton’s Lygon Street to the wide array of Chinese restaurants along Little Bourke Street in Chinatown.

Melbourne also offers exceptional fine dining, served with passion and panache at restaurants marrying modern Australian cuisine with European and Asian techniques. For picturesque dining along Melbourne’s waterfront, discover South Wharf, the city’s new culinary home situated in and around lovingly restored heritage cargo sheds. Venture westside to Docklands or head south to Southbank where you’ll find casual and formal dining with striking views of the city skyline.

CoffeeMelbourne is the undisputed coffee capital of Australia. This is a city that takes its passion for the brown gold stuff very seriously. Check out the many laneways across the city for a hidden café with great coffee.

Bars and NightlifeThroughout Melbourne’s boulevards and lanes you’ll discover some fabulous little spots for getting together with colleagues and friends. Once-forgotten warehouses and laneways have been transformed into creative hubs of food, street art and shopping, while the city pulses with cocktail lounges, vibrant pubs, underground dance dens and live music venues.

Recline on an old couch in a retro lounge bar or indulge in a pot of beer in a traditional Aussie pub. And of course the city is open all hours so Melbourne is the ultimate party town.

ShoppingWhile choice is a huge attraction, the joy of shopping in Melbourne is also about atmosphere. A grid of broad boulevards, narrow streets, enticing laneways and gorgeous arcades make shopping in the city an absolute pleasure.

Leading international fashion labels can be found on tree-lined Collins Street, while nearby Little Collins Street has a great selection of cutting-edge designers. Side streets and laneways are a haven for small boutiques specialising in Australian designers, jewellery and accessories.

For a wide range of designers and retailers under one roof, visit retail centres such as Melbourne’s GPO, Melbourne Central, Collinstwo3four, DFO South Wharf, QV and Australia on Collins. Flagship department stores Myer and David Jones are both in the Bourke Street Mall. Queen Victoria Market offers souvenirs, clothes, crafts and fresh foods.

From boutique to bargain, cutting-edge to classic, the city offers so many different products, labels and unique shopping experiences you won’t know where to begin.

Art, Design and ArchitectureMelbourne is home to world class arts and culture. The NGV International hosts an outstanding collection of international artwork, including major touring exhibitions, and The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square is the home of Indigenous and Australian art.

Nestled in the city’s laneways are many commercial galleries, craft and design outlets. A variety of quirky public artworks add a sense of fun to the city’s streets. The best way to survey the public art, sculpture and street art scene is to go on a self-guided walking tour. Check out the public art on display at Docklands, including the cow up a tree!

The Melbourne Winter Masterpieces program brings acclaimed exhibitions to the National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). See what’s on this season at melbourne.vic.gov.au/inbetween.

Events, Entertainment and SportMelbourne’s events calendar is jam packed with sporting, cultural and entertainment events!
