Federation Square- an eyesore, or the heart of Melbourne’s cultural scene? This debate has divided Melbourne’s locals since Federation square was opened in 2002. ‘Fed’ Square is a paradox- Melbourne’s 2nd most popular tourist attraction with 9 million visitors in 2011, and a complex often voted one of the world’s ugliest buildings or attractions.

The quirkiness of the theatre and the lounge itself make this a place well worth visiting on a regular basis.

Each summer Melbourne’s iconic Queen Victoria Market puts on a special treat in the Wednesday Night Market. Unlike the daytime market, the Night Market is less about kitsch souvenirs and more about artisan goods.
The night market has a great range of local products for your Wednesday night shopping fix and a range of live entertainment.

Melbourne's laneways

Sometimes a little daunting, and often missed by visitors, Melbourne's unique laneways are a treasure trove of food, drinking and shopping! There's something for everyone in Melbourne's laneways, and even locals sometimes find they have difficulties re-finding that cute little store/restaurant/cafe that they could swear was there last week!

Ferdydurke is like the cooler cousin of Section 8, which its balcony overlooks. Situated in a graffiti-filled laneway with views of the small courtyard, the bar also hosts live music. The bar, on the upper level, is well-stocked and reasonably priced.

In a city filled with unusual and quirky bars, Section 8 stands out as a fun choice for a warm summer’s evening. Caged off down one of Melbourne’s many laneways (don’t be afraid to wander down them, they’re all basically safe), you’ll find an inviting beer garden, and a bar with a difference.

Drinking under a bridge doesn't have the greatest connotation, but this bar makes that sentence completely acceptable. In fact, it's an awesome place to just chill with some mates. It can get a little crowded since it is just a little island under the bridge, but I just think it makes it cozy :)

Melbourne can be quite an expensive place to eat (and live!), which is why Bimbos is so popular! This pub/bar is famous around the local crowd for its $4 pizza. Not only is it cheap, it's also tasty (two things that don't always go together)! There's a range of different toppings, and you'll find that it caters to a wide clientele.

Siglo has a very European vibe like many places in Melbourne, but also sits across from the Parliament house on Spring Street and is one of the few rooftop bars at this end of town. Whilst the food selection is minimal, there is a great selection of wines and spiritis and cigars.

Massive screen in the sports bar showing sports into the early hours of the morning. Very popular with the AFL crowd and may be standing room only when a big game is on. Standard pub/bistro menu with all the classics.
