Explore its bustling laneways, trendy neighbourhoods and sophisticated foodie scene to get a taste of what Melbourne is all about.
Melbourne stands on the ancient grounds of the Kulin Nation of the Wurundjeri people. For the Kulin Nation, Melbourne has always been an important meeting place for events of social, educational, sporting and cultural significance. Experience the culture through a range of heritage walks, cultural tours and galleries.

specialist travel bookshop
Not all cities can support travel book stores, so Melbourne is lucky to have one. The Travellers Bookstore has been around for a few years now. It's in the main shopping street of the edgy inner suburb of Collingwood and is easy to reach by tram from the city; buses and train routes also serve the suburb. The store's definition of travel books is pleasingly broad. There are not just guide books and descriptions of destinations and journeys. You'll find a lot of other publications (fiction, memoir, photography, architecture, etc) with travel-related themes. As you'd expect there are also maps, directories and travel accessories (adaptors and such). And if you fancy a globe for yourself or to give as a gift, the store has a selection. It's possible to have items ordered in and to buy from the store's online site; I haven't done either so can't comment on how well these work. I've been to the store in person a couple of times -- once to the evening launch of a book by a local author, and once during the day as a browser -- and liked it on both visits. It's not flashy, it's genuine.

Melbourne Travel Guide
While Australia's southernmost mainland city seems understated on its surface, visitors quickly learn there are layers of passion, hard work, and history behind every aspect of Melbourne—Australia's cultural capital.
Situated on the Yarra River as it flows into Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne and its population of 5 million inhabits a land that has been lived on by Aboriginal Australians for more than 40,000 years.
After British settlement in the early 1800s, the wealth produced from the nearby gold rush of the mid-19th century funded the development of much of the city you see today. Magnificent Victorian-era buildings such as Parliament House, The Princess Theatre, and The Block Arcade remain as vibrant today as when they first opened, and compete for attention with the striking geometric newcomers that dot the cityscape.
From the Victorian era emerged the city's Hoddle Grid, a layout which created the many laneways now famous for their street art, and alleys that hide world-class restaurants, bars, and boutiques.
You'll notice that Melburnians have a lot of obsessions, most notably coffee, sport, and food. This is great for visitors, as it results in a city that constantly strives for the best. It's evident in the espresso-scented laneways, as baristas grind for that perfect espresso; or in the thousands of flavor combinations that come out of kitchens that encompass cuisines from around the globe, thanks to the city's proud multicultural heritage. And it can be heard coming from the hallowed Melbourne Cricket Ground when a 100,000-strong crowd packs "The G" for a game of Aussie Rules.
Beyond the arts and all these interests that could keep one endlessly entertained, there is the landscape itself—a mixture of grand parks, impressive gardens and beautiful seasides, all which make Melbourne a must on any Australian itinerary.
Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10 hours)
Best Time to Go
Melbourne's temperate climate means visitors can comfortably sightsee year-round. Major sporting events (Australian Open, F1 Grand Prix) and festivals take place mainly in the warmer months, between November and March. Much of the city's action moves indoors as days become cooler, but Melburnians adapt to their winter well, switching out sun umbrellas for patio heaters at outdoor cafes and rooftop bars. Melbourne weather has a reputation for occasionally having "four seasons in one day," which should be kept in mind when packing for your trip here.
Things to Know
Currency: Australian Dollar (Check the current exchange rate )
Language: English* *Visitors will quickly learn that Australians use a lot of slang in their everyday language, often shortening frequently-used words (i.e. "arvo" for afternoon, "avo" for avocado).
Many common words are also different to their US equivalent. Some handy examples: Elevator = lift Sidewalk = footpath Trash can = bin Cell phone = mobile Cookie = biscuit Chicken = chook Liquor store = bottle shop Flip-flops = thongs Swimsuit = bathers Sweater = jumper
Calling Code: +61
Capital City: Canberra
Tipping is uncommon in Australia. While never expected, it's also seen as inoffensive, should you wish to offer a tip. Exceptional service at a restaurant is an example of a situation in which a tip would happily be accepted.
Australians drive on the left side of the road. People here also keep to the left when walking on the sidewalk or standing on an escalator.
How to Get Around
A relatively flat city, much of Melbourne's sites and attractions can be reached easily on foot—many within walking distance of one another. Public transit is ample within inner Melbourne, and the city's iconic trams are easy to find. Taxis and rideshare options are also readily available.
Tram: The City Circle line is free and a great way to move around the Central Business District (CBD). Twenty-four routes cover more than 160 miles of track. With the exception of the City Circle, you'll need a myki card to ride a tram, and across all other public transit services.
Train: Melbourne's Metro train system includes an underground City Loop, which encompasses the CBD. There are 17 train lines that branch out from the City Loop, which reach further than the tram network, and can often be faster than a tram if journeying more than a couple of miles.
Bus: Your myki will come in handy if you find yourself in need of a bus. While trains and trams access most attractions, buses will come in handy for less accessible parts of town.
Taxi: 13cabs and Silver Top are the two main accredited taxi operators in Melbourne. You can hail them, phone or book using their respective apps. Ride-share: Uber and Ola are popular ride-share options in Melbourne. Another is Shebah, an all-women service.

Neighborhoods to Know
CBD : The CBD (Central Business District) is Melbourne's easy-to-navigate center, with its grid layout encompassed by the free City Circle tram. You'll find many of the city's iconic landmarks here: The State Library of Victoria, Flinders Street Station, Parliament House, and St Paul's Cathedral are standouts; along with historic and lovingly-maintained historic arcades. This is where the city's famous laneways reside, home to scores of tucked-away restaurants, bars, and boutiques. The Bourke Street Mall and Swanston Street are both closed to local traffic—but watch out for trams! Plenty of shopping is to be found around here. Chinatown, on Little Bourke Street, is steeped in history and delicious cuisine, and has formed an intrinsic part of Melbourne since the mid-1800s. Lined with stately London Plane trees, Collins Street has a distinct European vibe. Its east end is where you'll find designer boutiques such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Versace, along with Her Majesty's Theatre.
Southbank : The spire of Melbourne's Arts Centre acts as a beacon for the city's arts precinct on the south side of the Yarra River: The Australian Ballet, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Theatre Company, and Opera Australia all call this institution home. The Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne Recital Centre, and Southbank Theatre are also nearby, all notable for their striking architecture as much as the creativity produced inside. The NGV International can also be found in this area, while along the riverbank itself you'll find restaurants, bars, and Crown casino.
St Kilda : Famous for its pier, palm trees, and penguins, this beachside suburb is abuzz on the water and off. Kite-surfing, jet-skiing, and fishing are all popular activities here, but nothing beats the relaxing simplicity in a walk along St Kilda Beach's tree-lined promenade, where nearby attractions include St Kilda Sea Baths, the historic St Kilda Pier, Luna Park amusement park, or one of the many seaside cafes, restaurants, and bars. Acland, Carlyle, and Fitzroy Streets are popular spots for food and shopping; after the sun sets, they are great places for live music, dancing, and nightlife.
Carlton : Head to Lygon Street in this inner-north neighborhood and you'll find Melbourne's Little Italy. Enjoy one of the many Italian restaurants here, or grab a sweet treat from famed pasticceria Brunetti. There are also more than a few gelateria to take your pick from here, too. The nearby Carlton Gardens are beautiful at any time of year, and is where you will find Melbourne Museum and the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building.
Summer: December-February Melbourne's summers are typically hot and dry, but keep in mind the city's reputation for occasionally having "four seasons in one day." Averages can be deceptive because of this, with highs capable of reaching over 100, only to be erased by a cool change that causes temperatures to drop to the 60s. It happens infrequently enough not to affect summer vacation planning, but with that unpredictability in mind, be sure to pack a light jacket or cardigan, just in case.
Autumn: March-May This time of year can feel like an extension to summer, with plenty of warm, sunny days. Mornings become increasingly crisp as the season draws to a close. Evenings out on the town may require a coat.
Winter: June-August Melbourne's winters are mild enough to comfortably spend a day outdoors, with the right amount of layers. While Melbourne never sees a snowfall, winter mornings can be cold enough for frost in some areas, with overnight temperatures nearing freezing on occasion.
Spring: September-November Melbourne can sometimes be a little slow to come out of its winter, but spring here is typically sunny and comfortable, steadily warming up while remaining cool in the evenings.
Below are average temperatures in Fahrenheit. January: 61°F to 81°F February: 61°F to 80°F March: 58°F to 76°F April: 53°F to 70°F May: 49°F to 64°F June: 48°F to 59°F July: 45°F to 58°F August: 46°F to 61°F September: 49°F to 65°F October: 52°F to 69°F November: 55°F to 73°F December: 58°F to 77°F

Here’s Why Swatch’s New Melbourne Flagship Store is an Absolute Must-Visit
F rom highly sought-after collaborations with OMEGA and Blancpain , to head-turning new releases like the Power of Nature collection and its square Bioceramic What If… timepieces, if there’s one watchmaker that’s started 2024 firing on all cylinders, it’s Swatch . And with the opening of a stunning new Melbourne flagship store—the largest in Australia— acting as the icing on its multi-layered horology cake, there’s never been a more exciting time to follow the iconic Swiss watchmaker.
To celebrate the launch of this must-visit retail location at 260 Collins Street Mall, Melbourne, we’re diving into the key releases that have seen Swatch go from strength to strength of late, as it has consistently launched some of its most desirable, collectable, and innovative watches yet.
Power of Nature Collection
Drawing inspiration from the great outdoors, with tributes to fire, ice, water, and stone, this collection sees Swatch deploying inventive details and unique textures across dials and straps, striking the perfect balance between practicality, innovation, and style.
There’s nothing quite like relaxing by a campfire and the first of the four Power of Nature timepieces is a celebration of precisely that. With a textured black dial, brushed stainless steel bezel, red second hand, and khaki textile strap, Swatch’s By the Bonfire watch recalls the earthy tones of the outdoors and the last embers flickering in the charcoal left by the campfire.
The second watch in the collection features an oversized design constructed from stainless steel with a sandblasted finish. Echoing the uniquely icy chill of mountain peaks, Swatch’s Frost Bloom timepiece boasts a textured metallic blue dial and 3D indices as a tribute to the singular beauty of an ice-laden panorama.
Sunbaked Sandstone is the third watch in the Power of Nature collection, taking inspiration from the wavy patterns of sand dunes and the heat of the desert sun. With an ultra-slim design constructed from stainless steel, it features a beige dial with white and pink print, paired with the practicality of a beige textile strap.
The final timepiece in Swatch’s Power of Nature collection is an elegant nod to the power of the waterfall. Ultra-thin and durable, the stainless-steel Splash Dance watch features a textured dial in metallic blue with green print, with luminous details designed to recall the flow of water over rock as it enters freefall.
OMEGA X Swatch MoonSwatch
This innovative and refreshingly affordable collaboration between Swatch and OMEGA made quite the splash on launch and continues to send ripples of excitement throughout the watch-loving community. Celebrating the icon that is the Speedmaster Moonwatch—the first watch ever worn on the Moon—it offers up an incredibly varied collection of 11 timepieces, each named after a planetary body in our solar system, from our blazing sun to everyone’s favourite “dwarf” planet, Pluto.
Constructed using bioceramic material, the variety of colours and details on offer within the collection ensures everyone has a favourite, even if we can’t necessarily agree on which that should be — for instance Man of Many’s Ben Mckimm purchased the Mission to Saturn , whereas your humble author is quite fond of the Mission to Neptune.
Considering how highly collectable these MoonSwatches are, it’s fortunate they’re a non-limited series. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself tempted to purchase more than one.
Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms
Another groundbreaking collaboration, this collection saw Swatch join forces with Blancpain to honour the first true diver’s watch: the Fifty Fathoms. Boasting five models at first—Arctic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Antarctic Ocean—and then later welcoming the addition of the Ocean of Storms release, each watch from the range is constructed from bioceramic material and offers up its own signature colourway, along with a beautiful illustration on the back of each case.
Powered by a SISTEM51 movement, these mechanical watches are equipped with a NATO strap that’s created using recycled fishing nets, which is a fitting nod to the affection for the ocean that fuelled the first Fifty Fathoms’ creation over 70 years ago.
Like the OMEGA X Swatch MoonSwatch timepieces, Swatch’s collaboration with Blancpain is a non-limited offering that has struck a chord with collectors and watch lovers in Australia and around the world.
Bioceramic What If… Collection
This striking range asks the question, what would the Swatch story look like if the brand’s first watch had traded its iconic round design for a handsome square one instead? In this imagined parallel universe, Swatch offers up a range of silky matte styles—again crafted from the brand’s innovative bioceramic material—that feature edge-to-edge square glass and a day-date window at 3 o’clock. Plus, each watch in the range features a printed battery cover on the back that depicts one of the original round watch faces from which this range took its hypothetical approach.
Now available in four eye-catching soft pastel hues—Rose, Lemon, Sky, and Mint—along with the original Black, Green, Grey, and Beige, the Bioceramic What If.. collection offers up immaculate style from a possible alternate reality.
Swatch’s New Melbourne Flagship Store
To get your hands on any of the incredible timepieces outlined above, don’t miss Swatch’s new flagship store, located on 260 Collins Street Mall in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. As Swatch’s largest Australian retail location—boasting a massive 239 square metre footprint—it features an enormous range of the brand’s most desirable watches. In addition to those we’ve already covered here, you’ll find the Swatch NEON, Swatch Art Journey, and Big Bold ranges, which you’re invited to explore amidst the relaxing, fun, and casual atmosphere with help from Swatch’s friendly staff.
For those located outside Melbourne, fear not, as you can explore everything Swatch has to offer at one of the brand’s other convenient locations: Pitt Street, Bondi Junction, Queen Street, South Wharf, and the recently opened Murray Street Mall. While Swatch has consistently knocked it out of the park of late, we have a feeling the brand is just getting started. It’s always an exciting time when Swatch is on a roll, so keep an eye on Swatch Australia’s Instagram to ensure you don’t miss what this iconic Swiss watchmaker has up its sleeve next.
