Federation Square links the beautiful Yarra Valley riverside precinct with the heart of the city centre.

What do our experts say about Melbourne?

As a Melbourne local one of my tips is to visit the South Melbourne Market instead of the Queen Vic and make sure you go hungry! Melbourne is a cultural and creative hub with a vibrant and incredible food scene, art, music, sport and more. It’s far less about the sites and attractions and more about getting involved and being immersed in local culture and life.
