MESSAGE FROM THE LORD MAYOR

Welcome to Melbourne, the world’s most liveable city for the fourth consecutive year.

We were also recently named the most friendly city in the world and extend a warm welcome to 9.2 million visitors annually.

The timing of your visit is fortuitous because Melbourne really comes alive during the summer.

The city lights up during the Christmas season with colourful festive decorations and City Square is transformed into Christmas Square, complete with a full nativity scene, Santa and his team of reindeer.

Fireworks will illuminate the sky on New Year’s Eve and celebrations take place across the city as we welcome in another year.

Chinese New Year kicks off on 19 February with a cultural celebration of colour and movement, as the crowds welcome the Year of the Sheep.

For one sleepless night on 21 February, White Night Melbourne celebrations will provide a light-filled sunset-to-sunrise spectacle.

Summer means there is also plenty of outdoor entertainment and dining options at our renowned restaurants, along with a range of rooftop bars and pubs throughout the city.

Melbourne is also home to some outstanding sporting events including the Commonwealth Bank Boxing Day Cricket Test and the Australian Open which is a big drawcard for lovers of sport.

We are proud to support Destination Melbourne, Melbourne’s regional tourism organisation, and together we would like to invite you to experience and enjoy everything our city has to offer this summer: you’ll love every minute.

Uniquely MelbourneMelbourne is a unique city with a few antiquities that are occasionally hard for a visitor to fathom. Here are all the tips and tricks, so you’ll know exactly what the locals are talking about.

KEEP YOUR CUPDisposable coffee cups are harmful to the environment, so dine in and enjoy a break, or if you must keep walking, invest in one of Melbourne’s very own KeepCups; barista-quality recyclable coffee cups. Made in a range of funky colours it is the perfect take home souvenir.

» keepcup.com

HOOK TURNSDon’t be alarmed. Due to tramlines running down the middle of major city streets, there are some intersections where cars turning right must do so from the left lane. The vehicle remains there until the traffic lights for the road it ’s entering turn green, then it carefully executes its turn. This manoeuvre minimises congestion on the roads. Hook turns are rare and not nearly as scary as they sound.

ON TRACKExploring the city? The best way to get around Melbourne is on the easy to use public transport system, which includes Melbourne’s iconic trams. They run throughout the inner suburbs and are the perfect way to get your bearings.

They believe in a healthy and sustainable environment and for everyone to be involved in managing and protecting that environment.

A Tap Away

WATER SAVINGMelbourne is subject to water restrictions, so do your bit by keeping showers short (four minutes or less) and hang towels in your hotel room so that you can reuse them.

THE TANIt was once a riding path for Melbourne’s equestrians, but now this 3.8km track is the place for walking and jogging. It follows the Yarra River for a short distance, before heading off around the perimeter fence of the Botanic Gardens. The lap record—10 minutes and 12 seconds—was set by long-distance runner Craig Mottram in 2004. Have a crack at beating it if you dare.
