About Melbourne
Melbourne treats sport and culture as religion, and the Melbourne Cricket Ground anchors it all. Take a behind-the-scenes MCG tour on non-match days, or join 90,000 fans for AFL footy between March and September and the Boxing Day Test each December. In January the Australian Open takes over Melbourne Park, with ground passes that let you roam the outside courts all day. Between events, hunt street art in laneways like Hosier Lane, graze the stalls of Queen Victoria Market and ride the free City Circle tram past Flinders Street Station. Day trips along the Great Ocean Road to the Twelve Apostles are the classic excursion and sell out in summer, so reserve ahead. Melbourne's arenas, led by Rod Laver Arena and Marvel Stadium, pull the biggest international concert tours in the country. Prices are in AUD, with instant mobile tickets for most experiences.
Top things to do in Melbourne
- MCG tours through the players' race and changing rooms, plus AFL footy in winter and Boxing Day Test cricket
- Australian Open tennis at Melbourne Park each January, from ground passes to Rod Laver Arena finals
- Street-art laneways like Hosier Lane and AC/DC Lane, paired with coffee and food stalls at Queen Victoria Market
- Great Ocean Road day trips to the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and the surf town of Torquay
Local tips for visiting Melbourne
- Melbourne weather delivers four seasons in a day even in summer, so carry a layer for evening events at outdoor stadiums
- The City Circle tram and all CBD trams in the free zone cost nothing, putting Flinders Street Station, the laneways and Queen Victoria Market within easy reach
- Great Ocean Road day trips run 10 to 12 hours; book the smaller sunset tours in summer (December to February) early as they sell out first
- MCG stadium tours run on non-event days only, so check the AFL and cricket fixtures before planning your visit
Frequently asked questions
What events are happening in Melbourne this weekend?
See our Melbourne events this weekend page for every show on sale for Saturday and Sunday, each with live ticket prices and secure partner checkout. New dates are added the moment they go on sale.
What's on in Melbourne tonight?
Browse the Melbourne events tonight page for today's shows with live availability and prices. If nothing is listed for tonight, the "All upcoming" listings above show the next available dates.
Are there free events in Melbourne?
The listings here are ticketed events and attractions with live prices, so we can't confirm free events. For paid concerts, theatre, sports and experiences in Melbourne, browse the listings above — each shows real prices before you buy.
Can I tour the MCG on match days?
No, behind-the-scenes tours only run on non-event days, usually hourly from mid-morning. On match days the better option is a ticket to the game itself: regular-season AFL entry is inexpensive and the atmosphere with 80,000-plus fans is unforgettable. Check fixtures before you plan.
How do Australian Open tickets work?
Ground passes give all-day access to outside courts and the fan zones in January, while reserved seats for Rod Laver Arena and Margaret Court Arena are sold per session. Finals week sells out months ahead, but first-week ground passes are usually easy to get and great value.
Is the Great Ocean Road doable as a day trip from Melbourne?
Yes, it is Melbourne's most popular excursion. Coach tours run 10 to 12 hours, covering Torquay, Apollo Bay, the rainforest at Maits Rest and the Twelve Apostles, typically from around AUD 100 to 150. In summer, book several days ahead and choose a sunset tour for the best light.
