Almost everyone in the country has heard of the Melbourne Docklands and it is an area of town that should be on the list to visit.

With a range of dining, art, shopping and entertainment options the Docklands are a great place to spend a day or more.

Sitting right on the water as it feeds into rivers from the bay, Docklands is a stunning area compared often to Sydney’s Darling Harbour.

Featuring fabulous shopping and the location for Australia’s first Costco, there is plenty to see and do. You can find great dining from casual to upmarket options, and even plenty of bars and clubs for you to enjoy your night.

It is a great inner city environment and there are regularly events and street performances happening around the water front.

Location:

Walk to Docklands from the city via Latrobe Street, Collins Street and the Bourke Street Pedestrian Bridge Opening Hours: 24 hours, 7 days
