Jones Grandstand - Albert Park,VIC

Shawn Zhang A wonderful spot to watch the sunset, Melbourne skyline, and people, lots of people. Very busy over the long weekend, and probably most weekends too. Parking right at the lookout can be tricky to find, but if you are happy to walk 10 minutes, then you should be fine. Still worth the trip as the view is beautiful!

Ming Shen Tham If youre looking for breathtaking views of Melbourne and beyond, the Melbourne Skydeck is an absolute must-visit! Located on the 88th floor of the Eureka Tower, it offers unparalleled panoramic views of the city skyline, the Yarra River, and, on clear days, even as far as the Dandenong Ranges and Port Phillip Bay. The experience begins as soon as you step into the elevator. The ride up is smooth and quick, taking you to the top in under a minute. Once you step out, you’re greeted by the glass-enclosed observation deck that stretches 360 degrees around the tower. The views are truly spectacular, whether it’s during the day, where the city sparkles with life, or at night, when Melbourne’s lights dazzle in all directions. One of the standout features of the Skydeck is "The Edge" – a glass cube that extends out from the side of the building, offering a thrilling and unique experience as you stand suspended above the city. For those looking for something a bit more relaxed, there are comfortable seating areas where you can simply enjoy the view. For photography enthusiasts, this is an absolute dream. The views are perfect for capturing stunning cityscapes, especially during the golden hour when the sun sets behind the skyscrapers. The space is also well-maintained, clean, and offers helpful staff who are eager to answer questions and share tips for maximizing the experience. Additionally, the Melbourne Skydeck offers interactive displays and informative panels, which can be fun for both adults and kids. You’ll learn a lot about Melbourne’s history, landmarks, and the construction of the Eureka Tower itself.

Raquel Robinson Went to Moomba here, one day spent on the Birrarang Marr side, the next day spent over at the Alexander Park side of the water. It was really hot the days I went so was hiding in the shade which theres a lot of, water is nice, watching the jet ski show, parked at Melbourne park $7.50 for the day if no event at their venue. Recommend prebooking parking as its a lot cheaper

Jawad Arain Its a mini falls near CBD, excellent recreation area. It is also the point where Merri Creek meets the Yarra River, great atmosphere and picnic point. Plenty of walks from this point.

Fabrizia Barrowcliffe Just saw the most amazingly talented bunch of acrobats, musicians, actors, singers and performers from the Lyttelton theatre company. Performing a mesmerising show entitled Berlin burlesque. Based on a true story. Absolutely sensational, not very risqué until right at the end, funny entertaining and full of energy. Gorgeous little intimate theatre- don’t miss it! Only on another 16 nights. Really fabulous!

Akrem Jaouadi You absolutely must visit Melbournes Shrine of Remembrance. This magnificent architectural landmark stands as a powerful memorial to the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War. Beyond its profound historical significance, its elevated location offers some of the best vantage points for sweeping city views. Its a truly unique place where history and stunning vistas unite.

ATN KSD Walking down Collins Street in Melbourne, I felt a mix of excitement and admiration. The elegant blend of historic charm and modern sophistication made it feel like the heart of the city. The grand architecture, from the beautiful Block Arcade to the impressive Scots’ Church, gave the street a timeless character. I loved the energy—the hum of conversations from stylish cafés, the quiet elegance of luxury boutiques, and the steady rhythm of city life. Whether it was enjoying a peaceful coffee, admiring the heritage buildings, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Collins Street left me feeling inspired and connected to Melbourne’s unique charm.

Bianca Wacker A futuristic playground great for all ages. It’s a great activity if you’re stuck on something to do on the weekend. Located in Docklands it’s a blend of interactive experiences, mind bending illusions and immersive adventures. A must visit if you haven’t been
