Head to the beach
Spend the day swimming and sunbathing at the beach, then relax with a cocktail at a rooftop bar.
Get to know the sports scene
Watch a tennis match with a bowl of strawberries and cream at the Australian Open in Melbourne Park, or visit some of the other local sports stadiums.
Savor the local food scene
Shop for souvenirs and tuck into delicious street food at the Queen Victoria Night Market, held each Wednesday evening, and elsewhere.
Take a road trip out of town
Escape the city for a day wine tasting in the Yarra Valley, wildlife watching on Phillip Island, or admiring the sights along the Great Ocean Road.
