The best experience gifts in Melbourne that make amazing presents

Instead of shopping for trinkets that will just sit on a shelf, give the gift of a one-of-a-kind experience

Adena Maier

If you're already beginning to feel that Christmas shopping panic and are slowly inching closer towards just buying a million candles  or boxes of chocolates and calling it a day, this list is for you. Let's be real: nobody really wants a printed mug or a kitschy novelty gift. Instead of wasting your money on things that will just collect dust on someone's shelf (and likely end up at their next garage sale), consider getting them a fun experience instead.

We all know that Melbourne has a vibrant arts and culture scene, so if your friend loves going to plays or has been itching to check out some upcoming exhibitions, get them a membership or a voucher to their favourite gallery or theatre. If they have a taste for the finer things, we've also rounded up some fun winery, distillery and fine dining experiences that they're sure to love. Scroll down for the full list of gifts that we reckon will actually get some use. 

Want to keep shopping? Check out 2023 Melbourne Chrsitmas gift guide , plus the best gift delivery services in Melbourne.

Thank you Traveller Shop we are very happy with our purchase. We were super impressed with how quick our purchase arrived. Would highly recommend great service and prices.
Don’t be fooled by the name! It sells more than just luggages. It has a great selection of good quality swags and souvenirs. And the staff are helpful and kind. The shopping experience is much more pleasant than Queen Victoria Market.
Nice place to buy travel related stuff like bags,rucksacks, trolley etc. They have wide range of souvenirs as well which can be taken if you’re travelling outside Melbourne. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Such excellent customer service from The Travellor Shop Melbourne. I ordered suitcases on two occasions. Both times the items were delivered from the shop directly to my door within a couple of days. Excellent communication before and during delivery. Thanks Riana and Stuart. I recommend The Travellor Shop Melbourne.

Boomerangs have been used by Aboriginals for ten thousand years and are an iconic Australian symbol, making this traditionally painted gift the perfect souvenir.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

  • The Best Gift Shops in Melbourne

Picture of gift shop in Melbourne frontage with a sign that says 'We're open'

Melbourne is home to the Australian arts, challenging conventions and providing creative spaces for individuals to get crafty in every part of the city. It only makes sense that Melbourne is also home to some of the finest gift shops, with unique collections that appeal to all styles and tastes. If you want to get a sense of the talent and beauty that can be found in Melbourne, check out the locally sourced goods at these incredible Melbourne gift shops. While each of these gift shops in Melbourne is unique in its own right, the owners have a commonality in becoming a business owner through the love of craft and local artists. Here are some of our favourites!

Know what you're looking for? Jump ahead

Think Thornbury, Thornbury

I had the pleasure of meeting Maggie from Thornbury Local in 2020, after having a long-term love affair with the beautiful Think Thornbury Instagram page. The store sells gifts for children and adults, with familiar brands on the shelves but mostly you will find goods from local makers. At various points, I have bought a beautiful jigsaw puzzle, an Ottolenghi cookbook, a children’s book, a set of mugs, a children’s hat and some playing cards. 

Think Thornbury is the perfect gift shop in Melbourne for any recipient and they have unique wrapping paper, packaging embellishments and cards to accompany your gift. On a recent trip to the Thornbury gift shop, I bought some gifts wrapped beautifully and adorned with origami hearts.

Clementine’s, Melbourne

Few scenes are more iconic than the crap that sits parked on Degraves Street in Melbourne CBD. This orange Vespa belongs to Clementine’s Melbourne gift store which offers a very eclectic collection of homewares, trinkets and locally sourced crafts and gifts. What we love about this store is that it has a quality selection of food, more specifically sauces, seasonings, chutneys and dark chocolate. These items make a great gift for colleagues, friends and family that you do not want to break the bank with or if you are looking for extras. 

The handmade toys have also garnered quite a cult following, with the patchwork bears, koalas and lions the perfect addition to nursery decor. Also, keep your eyes peeled for chocolate tastings and complementary wrapping stations in-store and out the front on Degraves Street. 

Pascoe Tales, Pascoe Vale 

I first noticed Pascoe Tales when I drove down Sussex Street and was blown away by the incredible window display. After a little more research and Instagram stalking, I saw that these window displays would change from time to time, each of them hinting toward the one-of-a-kind goodies inside. The owner of the store is a lovely lady who is responsible for crafting many of the items for sale, but there is still a great mix of other items from local makers and even more recognisable eco-friendly brands. I stopped by Pascoe Tales before a first birthday party and bought a set of bowls for a baby in a stunning blue colour made from quality materials. I also picked up a handmade toy, both of which were popped in a gift bag with some origami attached.

If you can’t make it to the Pascoe Vale address, the website is very easy to navigate with lots of categories so you can quickly identify whether your gift needs are being met. Although we recommend buying in person if only to experience the window displays!

Dymocks Art of Giving, Melbourne CBD

We are noticing a theme here that many of these gift shops in Melbourne are found when they are stumbled upon, which is certainly the case for Dymocks Art of Giving. This store can be found in the same building as Dymocks but is upstairs and almost hidden behind the escalators and signage of the Collins234 building. The gift shop in Melbourne is small but there is a lot packed into this store. We bought some Secret Santa gifts here and it’s a great place to try if you are looking for a nice gift that doesn’t cost too much. We settled in a beautiful leather-wrapped flask with some line art embossed in the letter. 

There is also the option to have your gifts gift-wrapped which can be helpful if you work in the city and you are getting this gift on a lunch break. Plus, while you are there you may as well head downstairs and see what is on offer in the Dymocks store which has great gift items at the counter.

Present Story, Coburg

Present Story is owned and operated by a retail veteran Linda Whiteside, who had successfully designed retail spaces before, only to open her own store and delight all who enter. You will find a fun collection of gifts at Present Store for any occasion and price mark, whether you walk away with a unique mug or a decorative homeware item. There is also a nice mix of kid’s and adult gifts that will make you vow to never shop for gifts at Kmart ever again. Present Story in Coburg really practises what they preach, and makes a considered effort to stock locally produced goods that are also environmentally ethical.

19 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Melbourne

Written by Karen Hastings Updated Dec 26, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Multicultural Melbourne frequently tops the list of the world's most livable cities. Visit this vibrant city at the head of Port Phillip Bay, and you'll see why it's such a popular destination. Australia's second-largest metropolis exudes an unmistakably European feel. Grand Victorian buildings recall the city's Gold Rush riches, and tree-lined promenades and a tangle of hidden laneways make exploring the city especially rewarding.

Melbourne skyline

Culture is a big draw. Art lovers can get their fix at Melbourne's impressive museums and galleries. And foodies will also find plenty to love. Famous Aussie chefs flaunt their talents here, whipping up creative concoctions from around the world — you can feast on everything from Greek, Italian, and Indian cuisine to Spanish and Vietnamese.

But perhaps Melbourne's biggest claim to fame is sports. The famous Melbourne Cup horse race , held on the first Tuesday in November, brings the entire nation to a standstill. And Australian Rules football ("footy") elicits an almost religious reverence. If you're a sports lover, try to catch a game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground while you're here. Tennis fans flock to the Australian Open in early February, and Formula One followers eagerly anticipate the Australian Grand Prix.

You'll never run out of things to do in Melbourne. Explore the city's diverse galleries, cafés, and shops; stroll through lush gardens; cruise along the Yarra River; or hop aboard a heritage tram to discover Melbourne's magic.

Melbourne also boasts a busy arts calendar. Highlights include the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (March to April), and if you're looking for things to do in Melbourne in August, scoop up some tickets to the Melbourne International Film Festival. Seeking a little slice of nature? Rewarding day trip adventures lie a short drive from the city buzz.

Before you head out on your sightseeing tour, find the best places to visit in the city with our list of the top attractions and things to do in Melbourne.

Royal Botanic Gardens

Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens are among the finest of their kind in the world. Established in 1846, the gardens encompass two locations: Melbourne and Cranbourne.

The Melbourne gardens lie in the heart of green parkland extending south of the Yarra River , about two kilometers from the CBD. Covering an area of 38 hectares, they are home to more than 10,000 plant species from around the globe, including many rare specimens.

Royal Botanic Gardens

Highlights include the Ian Potter Foundation Children's Garden , designed to encourage the next generation of gardeners, and the Fern Gully Health and Wellbeing Garden , a tranquil spot to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Aboriginal Heritage Walk explores the rich heritage of Indigenous Australians.

In summer, live theater is a highlight of the gardens, and a moonlight cinema is set up under the stars. Rolling lawns, lakes, large trees, and abundant birdlife make this a beautiful spot to linger and enjoy a picnic or a traditional high tea at The Terrace café.

Special events add something new to every visit. Check the calendar for seasonal programs like guided birding walks; Forest Therapy walks; ClimateWatch walks; and Lightscape, when the gardens are illuminated after dark.

No matter what time of year you visit these beautiful gardens, this is one of the best free things to do in Melbourne. Note, though, that admission is charged for some special events.

If you're short on time or mobility is an issue, hop aboard the Explorer - Melbourne Gardens . This open-sided minibus will take you on a 30-minute tour of all the garden's highlights.

Address: Birdwood Ave, South Yarra, Melbourne, Victoria

National Gallery of Victoria

Melbourne is famous for its culture, and the National Gallery of Victoria is the jewel in the crown. It's not only the oldest public art gallery in Australia , it's also the most visited. Here, you can admire more than 70,000 works of European, Asian, Oceanic, and American art in two city locations.

The international collection is housed in the St. Kilda Road building , originally opened in 1968. The building is renowned for The Great Hall, where visitors are encouraged to lie on the floor and gaze at the colorful stained-glass ceiling.

The Great Hall at the National Gallery of Victoria

The extensive Australian collection is held in the Ian Potter Gallery in Federation Square , featuring the history of Australian art, from Aboriginal works through to the Heidelberg School and contemporary mixed media. One of the highlights is the large triptych format, The Pioneer by Frederick McCubbin.

There's always something new to see at the National Gallery of Victoria. It presents more than 40 exhibitions a year, as well as special events, children's programs, tours, and performances. Best of all, entry to the permanent exhibitions is free .

NGV International

Address: St. Kilda Road, Melbourne, Victoria

The Ian Potter Centre

  • Federation Square, Flinders Street &, Russell Street, Melbourne Victoria

Federation Square

When Federation Square opened in 2002 to commemorate 100 years of federation, it divided Melburnians. There were those who loved it and those who hated it. Either way, "Fed Square" has become an integral part of the city, a popular meeting place, and a great spot for tourists to start their sightseeing.

You can't miss Fed Square. It's located opposite Flinders Street Station, a major public transport hub. The building's ultra-modern design of open and closed spaces stands in striking contrast to the surrounding Victorian architecture.

Live entertainment lures locals and tourists here. With more than 2,000 events annually, you can always find a performance or festival to enjoy in the central outdoor performance space and intimate indoor venues.

And you'll find plenty of cafés and restaurants here, too. Chocolate Buddha is a favorite serving casual Japanese cuisine with beautiful views of the city.

Museums and galleries are other highlights of visiting Federation Square. The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia is dedicated to Australian art. The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) hosts fascinating interactive exhibits on screen culture (film, TV, videos, and art); and the Koorie Heritage Trust , displays art, photographs, and artifacts from the Koorie Aboriginal people, who hail from parts of Victoria and New South Wales. Best of all, entry to these museums is free .

Fed Square is also one of the largest free Wi-Fi sites in Australia .

Address: Corner of Swanston and Flinders Streets, Melbourne, Victoria

Arcade in Melbourne

Wandering the labyrinth of lanes and alleyways is one of the most popular things to do in Melbourne. Head to the area around Flinders , Collins, and Bourke Streets to see elegant, interesting, and quirky Melbourne at its best.

For high-end shopping, one of the most popular places to visit in Melbourne is the magnificent Block Arcade on Collins Street . With its mosaic floor, period details, and boutique shops, this is the place where late 19th-century gentry promenaded, coining the phrase, "doing the block."

You'll find everything here from Haigh's Chocolates and vintage jewelry to designer fashion, gifts, and cafés. It's also worth lining up for a morning or afternoon tea at the Hopetoun Tearooms . This Melbourne icon dates back to 1892 and is the only original shop still in the arcade today.

Cozy cafés beckon from the tangle of backstreets. Save time to order a coffee, pull up a chair, and people-watch for a while — it's a favorite Melbourne pastime.

The opulent Royal Arcade is Melbourne's oldest arcade, and Flinders and Degraves Lanes are also well worth exploring.

Southbank

Southbank is the place to go for a dose of culture. Located on the banks of the Yarra River , a short stroll from Flinders Street Station, this scenic precinct is packed with shops, cafés, and cultural attractions. It's a wonderful place for a stroll along the river at any time of year.

Looking for things to do in Melbourne at night? You'll find some of the city's best nightlife here — especially in the South Wharf area, where heritage sheds are converted into lively entertainment venues. It's an evocative space after dark, when the city lights ignite and reflect off the river.

Southbank also hosts enticing alfresco cafés, restaurants, and live entertainment, and the many festivals held here throughout the year amp up the vibe.

If shopping is high on your list of things to do, you'll find an excellent arts and crafts market here every Sunday. Plus you can splurge at chic designer boutiques or grab a bargain at DFO South Wharf, factory outlet stores.

If you feel like catching a show, the Malthouse Theatre presents everything from musical theater, dance, drama, and comedy to contemporary opera and cabaret. Or catch a performance by the Melbourne Theatre Company at Southbank Theatre. Southbank is also home to Arts Centre Melbourne , the city's major performance venue.

While you're here, keep a lookout for the public art, like The Travellers steel sculptures along Sandridge Bridge and the Queen Bee gracing the side of the landmark Eureka Tower .

Looking for things to do in Southbank with kids? Climb aboard Polly Woodside in South Wharf, one of the country's last surviving 19th-century tall ships.

Melbourne Cricket Ground and the National Sports Museum

Melbourne is the sporting capital of Australia, so it's no surprise that a sports stadium numbers among the city's top tourist attractions. With a capacity of 100,000 and a history dating back to 1853, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is considered one of the world's greatest stadiums. It's also the largest and oldest sports venue in Australia.

As the main stadium for the 1956 Olympic Games and 2006 Commonwealth Games, the birthplace of Test Cricket, and the home of Australian Rules Football , "the 'G" is woven into the fabric of Melbourne.

Daily tours take visitors for a trip down a memory lane of great moments in sporting history and incorporate the Australian Sports Museum , including the Australian Gallery of Sport and Olympic Museum . You can also catch a game of cricket in summer, or football during winter.

Directly opposite the MCG is Melbourne Park , home of the Australian Open tennis tournament, held every January. You can hire a tennis court, and many concerts are held here during the year.

Address: Brunton Ave, East Melbourne, Victoria

View of Melbourne from the Skydeck at Eureka Tower

Wondering where to find a great view over the city? Head to the 91-story Eureka Tower in the heart of Southbank. This striking skyscraper was named in recognition of The Eureka Stockade, the 1854 rebellion of prospectors in the Victorian goldfields. Adding to the Gold Rush theme, the building's gold crown and gold-plated windows literally sparkle when the sun catches the top of the building.

Melbourne Skydeck , on the 88th floor, affords the highest public view in any building in the Southern Hemisphere . For even more thrills, head out onto The Edge , a glass cube that slides out three meters from the building for vertigo-free visitors. You can also buy tickets to Voyager Theatre, a Virtual Reality experience that takes you on an immersive, multisensory journey to 16 famous Melbourne attractions.

Eureka Tower

Author's Tip : Arrive at sunset to see spectacular views over the city during the day and night, when the lights twinkle as the sun slips slowly beneath the horizon.

Address: 7 Riverside Quay, Southbank, Melbourne, Victoria

Arts Centre Melbourne

Arts Centre Melbourne is the city's leading arts and culture venue. Easily recognizable by its spire, it sits on the banks of the Yarra River, near South Bank, and is a wonderful place to attend a performance of theater, dance, music, comedy, and more.

Arts Centre Melbourne incorporates a range of state-of-the-art theaters and spaces. These include the State Theatre , home to The Australian Ballet and Opera Australia; the 884-seat Playhouse ; the more intimate Fairfax Studio ; and Hamer Hall, the premier performance space for the revered Melbourne Symphony Orchestra . A short stroll away, you can attend an outdoor concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in the Kings Domain Gardens.

Planning a pre-show dinner? Café Vic serves up seasonal contemporary cuisine, as well as snacks throughout the day.

While you're here, stop by the Australian Music Vault . The free exhibition here tells the story of Australian contemporary music.

Melbourne Museum and Royal Exhibition Building

A short tram ride from the CBD, the Melbourne Museum is surrounded by beautiful gardens and parkland. This modern purpose-built museum houses a diverse collection depicting society and cultures, as well as science and the environment.

Highlights include Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre ; the Phar Lap exhibit, about Australia's greatest racehorse; and the Children's Gallery , a series of hands-on activities designed to stimulate and engage youngsters. You can also stroll through a vibrant forest, and immerse yourself in a world of life-size dinosaurs.

Adjacent to the Melbourne Museum is the elaborate Royal Exhibition Building. Built in 1880 to host Melbourne's International Exhibition, the building also held the first Commonwealth Parliament of Australia in 1901. Regular tours are available, and the building is still used for exhibitions and special events.

Address: 11 Nicholson Street, Carlton, Victoria

City Circle Tram Tour

Want to do some city sightseeing the Melbourne way? Hop aboard the City Circle Tram . Melbourne is famous for its trams, and the City Circle Tram is a free and easy way of seeing the top sights in the CBD and Docklands.

Accompanied by a commentary, the hop-on, hop-off heritage tram passes many of the grand historic buildings, including Parliament House , the Old Treasury Building, Princess Theatre, and the Windsor Hotel . Plus you can hop off at major attractions like Federation Square. The trams run every 12 minutes and take about 50 minutes to complete the entire loop.

You can board the tram at any stop along the City Circle route, seven days a week, except Christmas Day and Good Friday.

Melbourne Zoo

From big cats to butterflies, animal lovers will have plenty to enjoy at the 22-hectare Melbourne Zoo . Although the zoo dates back to 1862, the 250-plus species of animals have the best of modern facilities in state-of-the-art enclosures, about five minutes from the Melbourne CBD.

You'll find animals from all over the planet here. The award-winning Trail of the Elephants is an insight into the lives of the resident Asian elephants in a traditional village-garden setting. Another highlight is the Orang-utan Sanctuary , where the animals live in their treetop home. And you can wander down a bush track to meet your favorite Aussie animals, including kangaroos, koalas, and emus.

With many wild encounters, including "roar and snore," twilight music concerts, and behind-the-scenes tours of some enclosures, Melbourne Zoo offers animal lovers a fun-packed experience.

Zoos Victoria operates two other zoos: Healesville Sanctuary and Werribee Open Range Zoo , and all run important conservation programs, including breeding and recovery work for endangered species.

Address: Elliott Ave, Parkville, Victoria

Captain Cook's Cottage, Fitzroy Gardens

Captain Cook's Cottage was brought to Melbourne from Captain James Cook's native home in Yorkshire, England and erected in Fitzroy Gardens . The quaint cottage is an insight into the life and times of Cook's seafaring adventures and exploration of Australia and other parts of the world.

Also in the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens is the magnificent Spanish-mission style conservatory , which is always filled with a vibrant floral display. Children will love the tiny Tudor village and Fairy Tree .

After strolling around the gardens, head to hipster-packed Fitzroy for some of Melbourne's best vegan food, as well as vintage shopping and vibrant street art.

Address: Wellington Parade, East Melbourne, Victoria

Cruise on the Yarra River

A riverboat cruise is not only a relaxing way to see the sights, it's also an insight into the history of the Yarra River . Many cruise companies can be found along Southbank, and it's a fun way to get your bearings before you set out to explore the city on foot.

While you're gliding down the river, keep an eye out for Birrarung Marr, originally called "Birrarung," meaning "river of mists and shadows," a waterfront parkland celebrating Aboriginal ties with the Yarra River.

If you're short on time, the one-hour River Gardens Melbourne Sightseeing Cruise gives you a relaxing tour past top city sights, like the Royal Botanic Gardens , Melbourne Cricket Ground , and National Tennis Centre .

Shrine of Remembrance

Sitting majestically in Kings Domain gardens, the Shrine of Remembrance was built after the First World War to commemorate Victorians involved in the Great War, either abroad or at home. Today, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Australian servicemen and women. It's also the central focus for ceremonies on ANZAC Day, held on 25 April, and Remembrance Day, held on 11 November each year.

In the Galleries of Remembrance under the shrine you can explore photographs, artifacts, and artwork related to Australians at war and peacekeeping operations.

Guided or self-guided tours are available daily, and the lighting on the building is particularly beautiful at night. From the balcony, you can enjoy beautiful views over the 13 hectares of surrounding parkland and the city beyond.

If you happen to be visiting Melbourne on a Sunday, you can attend a Last Post Service here at 4:45pm with bugle calls and a wreath-laying at the Eternal Flame.

Address: Birdwood Ave, Melbourne, Victoria

Dusk at Docklands in Melbourne

Docklands is Melbourne's newest waterfront entertainment precinct. With the highest concentration of green-star-rated buildings in the Southern Hemisphere, the satellite village is filled with cafés, restaurants, tourist attractions, and parklands. It's one of the most popular Melbourne attractions at night.

You'll find something here for everyone. Snap some pics at ArtVo , an interactive 3D art gallery; take the Docklands Public Art Walk; or soak up some street art scenes at Blender Studios .

Docklands is also home to Marvel Stadium and the O'Brien Icehouse , a world-class ice sports venue.

Craving some retail therapy? An art and vintage market is also held along the waterfront every Sunday, and you can shop 'til you drop at the open-air shopping mall. Dining is also a highlight. You can feast around the world on everything from Turkish and Vietnamese cuisine to contemporary Australian creations.

Address: Harbour Esplanade, Docklands, Victoria

Queen Victoria Market

A popular place with locals and tourists, Queen Victoria Market has been at the center of fresh produce shopping since 1878. Farm-fresh goodies are a highlight here, but the market stalls sell everything from clothing, art, and toys to that hard-to-find unique souvenir, five days a week.

Are you a foodie? You can sign up for a two-hour guided walking tour with tastings of some of the market's best treats.

Special events such as winter night markets, music concerts, and other functions are often held throughout the year.

Address: Queen and Victoria Streets, Melbourne, Victoria

Parliament House

Parliament House is one of Melbourne's best-kept tourist secrets. This is where Australia's first federal parliament met from 1901 through 1927, and the building's grand colonnaded exterior makes a striking landmark on Spring Street.

One of Australia's oldest public buildings, Parliament House was built during the Gold Rush, and its interior is lavishly decorated with gold leaf, chandeliers, and a superb mosaic floor .

Today, you can watch the proceedings of the two Houses in the public galleries on days when parliament is sitting. Free, informative tours are held Monday to Friday on days when parliament is not in session.

Insider's tip: Another fun way to experience this grand building is to book High Tea or a farm-to-fork lunch at Strangers Corridor, the elegant wood-paneled restaurant.

Address: Spring Street, East Melbourne, Victoria

Immigration Museum

Want to learn about the interesting people who call Melbourne home? The Immigration Museum tells real stories of people who relocated here from all over the world. Every person arriving in Melbourne had to pass through customs here, and their poignant stories help explain the city's diversity today.

The museum is located in the elegant Old Customs House , and its permanent collection is interactive and engaging. Special exhibitions add to the museum's appeal.

A visit here provides a different perspective of early European settlement and its impact on Indigenous communities. If you're looking for things to do in Melbourne on a rainy day, this is a great option.

Address: 400 Flinders Street, Melbourne, Victoria

State Library Victoria

State Library Victoria is another worthy addition to your list of free things to do in Melbourne. As soon as you approach the building, you'll be impressed by its grand heritage architecture. First opened in 1856 , the building sports an elegant sandstone facade fronted with a series of grand Corinthian columns. Step inside for more surprises.

The Ian Potter Queen's Hall is a serene, light-filled space lined with white Corinthian columns. Chandeliers and filigreed original skylights add to the grandeur here, and the space hosts one of the world's largest chess collections . During the day, students huddle here buried deep in books. At night, it transforms into a magical event space.

If you're an art and history lover, you'll enjoy browsing the multiple galleries. The free exhibitions here range from Melbourne artists to historic artifacts, like Ned Kelly's armor, and photography collections.

Undoubtedly, though, the highlight is the La Trobe Reading Room . A soaring domed ceiling crowns this magnificent octagonal space, which was inspired by the British Museum in London and the Library of Congress in Washington. Four gallery levels rise above the vast space, and light floods in through the roof's many skylights. It's one of the most photographed sites in the library. Head to the upper galleries for the best shot.

Kids, too, will find things to love here. A two-story children's castle, reading nooks, and, of course, plenty of books await at The Pauline Gandel Children's Quarter.

The best way to explore the library is on a free self-guided digital tour . Alternatively, you can join one of the many free guided tours led by passionate volunteers. After exploring the rich history here, you can refuel with cake and coffee at one of the two on-site cafés.

Address: 328 Swanston Street, Melbourne Victoria

For first-time visitors to Melbourne, one of the best places to stay is either the city center or Southbank, with its restaurants, cafés, and lively events calendar. These tourist-friendly areas are close to prime attractions such as Federation Square; the Royal Botanic Gardens; and the labyrinth of laneways and shopping arcades around Flinders, Collins, and Bourke Streets. Here are some highly rated hotels in these areas:

Luxury Hotels:

  • Steps away from St. Patrick's Cathedral and Fitzroy Gardens, the plush Park Hyatt is one of Melbourne's best hotels. Shops and restaurants lie a short stroll away, and sports fans can walk to the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Melbourne Park.
  • Exuding elegance and old-world charm, The Langham, Melbourne is a romantic choice in Southbank overlooking the Yarra River. In your spare time, you can swim in the indoor pool topped by a glass roof, dine in the excellent on-site restaurant, and walk to popular shopping and entertainment venues.
  • Also in Southbank, the serviced apartments of Quay West Suites are a favorite with families.

Mid-Range Hotels:

  • A couple of blocks from the famous Queen Victoria Market, the Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens has a tram stop on its doorstep and offers great value within walking distance of shops and restaurants.
  • Also steps away from a free tram and a five-minute walk from outlet shopping, Alto Hotel on Bourke is Australia's first carbon-neutral hotel. Its modern apartments are a great choice for families.
  • A five-minute walk from Federation Square, the boutique Adelphi Hotel surprises guests with its contemporary style and personal touches.

Budget Hotels:

  • Near Melbourne Park, the family-run City Centre Budget Hotel offers excellent value, with a rooftop kitchen and plenty of public transport options on its doorstep.
  • Within walking distance of Flinders Street Station, the Ibis Budget Melbourne CBD has basic rooms but a fantastic location.
  • Also in the budget price range, Essence Hotel Carlton lies two tram stops away from the CBD and only a five-minute walk from the Melbourne Museum, IMAX Theatre, and the Free Tram Zone. The rooms are tiny but clean, and the beds are comfy.
  • Neighbours Sightseeing Tour: Fans of the long-running Neighbours TV soap opera can take a "Neighbours" Tour of Ramsay Street to see filming locations and the original Ramsay Street houses. You also have the opportunity to meet one of the cast members.
  • Great Ocean Road Day Trip: The most popular excursion from Melbourne is to the Great Ocean Road and the site of the famous limestone stacks known as the Twelve Apostles. The Great Ocean Road Small-Group Eco Tour from Melbourne is an easy and fun excursion. This tour offers hotel pickup and drop-off, morning tea, lunch, transport in a 24-passenger vehicle, and park admission fees for stops at Great Otway National Park for wildlife viewing and Port Campbell National Park to see the Twelve Apostles. You can also upgrade this tour to include a scenic helicopter flight.

4. Day Trip Melbourne: 52 Nature Adventures

There are so many things to do in Melbourne – including dozens of nature adventures to be had.

Day Trip Melbourne: 52 Nature Adventures was just released this year and has ideas for getting back to nature – all within 130kms of the CBD. You can find an adventure for every week of the year.

Each entry in the book has a map, information about the hike and photos.

I recently bought this book as I attempt to get out of the city more often.

5. Tesalate sand-free beach towel

Okay, so these guys aren’t Melbourne-based, but they are an Aussie company!

These beach towels are pretty amazing. They’re completely sand-free, so when you pick your towel up at the end of your beach trip, you simply shake off the sand and every grain will disappear. No more carting around gritty sand in your car boot or backpack.

There’s also a beautiful range of designs to choose from. I have the Sunseeker – which my dog Diego clearly approves of!

6. Little Lon Distilling Co gin

Your gin-loving loved one will be very happy to open a pressie with a bottle of gin from Little Lon Distilling Co inside.

This Melbourne-based, small-batch, award-winning distillery operates out of the heart of the city in a historic cottage – the only one of its kind still standing in Melbourne’s CBD.

Pick up a bottle from their small but mighty range of gins. I personally love the Miss Yoko, which is infused with fresh lychees, but the Yarra Strength Navy Gin is also incredible. It’s made with water from the Yarra River (but don’t worry, it’s filtered very thoroughly!).

Can’t decide which gin to buy? Then gift a gin masterclass . I recently took one of these classes and loved how the gin tasting was seamlessly combined with a fascinating history lesson about Little Lon, one of Melbourne’s most notorious areas in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

melbourne tourist gift shop

If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what famous people add to their carts. Not the JAR brooch and Louis XV chair but the  hair spray  and the  electric toothbrush . Back in 2019 , we asked DJ, producer, and designer Steve Aoki about the protein bars and sleep mask he can’t live without. Five years later, we asked him to revisit his list — which you can read here — and it turns out he’s still using some of it, along with a few new favorites.

What he still can’t live without

Manta Sleep Mask

When I’m traveling, I need blackout and comfort on my eyes. I’m like a sleeping-mask guinea pig; I’ve tried so many. But out of all of the ones I’ve tested, this one’s still my favorite. It does the job, and I pass out right away.

melbourne tourist gift shop

I used to travel with three laptops, but I’ve consolidated. With the updates and everything, I can use one less MacBook . I travel with two for producing and DJ-ing. Apple’s the way to go when it comes to making music. Depending on if I’m on the road for a long time, I’ll also bring a gaming PC laptop. I only bring that on lengthy tours or bus tours when I’m going to be able to just have some fun recreational time.

And some new favorites

NeuroGum

I hit up so many different time zones, and Neuro Gum helps me stay alert. It’s so effective. I just chew it, and it does what it’s supposed to do. It’s pretty fast-acting, and I try to gauge when to take it depending on what I’m doing. If I know I’m going to have a late night DJ-ing or have back-to-back shows, I’ll chew it right when I get off the plane and am headed to the show. It’s great for long DJ sets because it keeps me going without constantly drinking some sort of energy drink.

Sanzo Lychee Sparkling Water

I don’t really drink too many carbonated beverages. I’m very selective with what I drink, but I really love these seltzers . To me, it’s like LaCroix but with Asian-inspired flavors, like lychee and yuzu. I think it’s really filling a pocket of people’s tastes that’s been overlooked. And they’re not too sweet. A lot of people in my household like calamansi, which is like a golden lime, but I think my favorite is lychee. I’m drinking one right now.

Rimowa Classic Cabin Case

I mean, Rimowa luggage is durable. It can withstand a beating. It’s stylish, too. Because I’m a fashion guy, I want even my luggage to look good. But one of my favorite things about it is that it rolls super well. People don’t realize how important the actual rolling is. When you travel as much as I do, efficiency is super important. I don’t want to use more space or energy than I need. Their luggages have four wheels, so I barely have to pull it. I can glide through the airport. And, I can stack my backpack on top of it. I have a backpack and luggage every single time I travel. If the backpack doesn’t have one of those back sliders that slide on to the actual luggage , I’m not going to use it because I never wear a backpack on my back. I want to be free. I just plop it on top of the Rimowa and there we go.

Whoop

I think the most important thing that people need to have is metrics on your body . When you have your baseline, then you can understand how to improve or where you’re deficient. From there, it’s really up to you and your mind-set in order to do better. I get sort of my baseline with this Whoop Watch . I’m very anal about tracking my resistance, seeing how my workouts are going, and my sleep data. And it’s got a good band. After working out and sweating through it or even swimming with it on, it dries quickly. You don’t want a band that’s stinky. And it’s pretty comfortable. I don’t even realize it’s on my arm most of the time.

Athletic Greens

I like to start the day off with some positive, healthy practices. This is an all-in-one little powder I can drop in some water and pound out. I know I’m getting all the minerals and vitamins for my digestion and everything. Out of all the other green drinks I’ve tried, this is my favorite in terms of taste. When you’re drinking that many greens, there are worse ones out there. I’m not saying like, “Oh my god, it tastes great.” But, it’s definitely doable.

Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Headphones

These are important for cutting out all the noise , whether I’m on the plane, walking around, or working on tracks. It really gets me in the zone and creates a barrier around me, almost like I’m in a cocoon. If I’m listening to something for my set, I need that focus, and this locks me in the second I put the noise canceling on.

Dim Mak x One Piece - One Piece Hoodie

Hoodies are essential. I always wear my clothing line Dim Mak. Every week, we have a new collaboration and we work a lot in the anime world. We’ve done collections with One Piece , Dragon Ball , some more heady animes like Jujutsu Kaisen or My Hero Academia . I think the One Piece collab was the most successful because it blew up in the U.S. It’s been an anime for 20 years with over a thousand episodes, but the live-action Netflix show made that collaboration go crazy. It’s my favorite thing to pop on when I’m traveling and being more incognito. It’s cool to always switch up styles and support cool anime when I’m on the road.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments , rolling luggage , pillows for side sleepers , natural anxiety remedies , and bath towels . We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
