Book Flights to Melbourne

Where should I stay in Melbourne?

There are a number of districts to consider staying in once you’ve booked your Melbourne flights. To be in the heart of the action, opt for the centre – known locally as ‘the CBD’. St Kilda is best if you want to be close to the beaches, while hip Fitzroy is ideal for quirky independent stores and a vibrant food scene.

How many days should I spend in Melbourne?

You can easily spend a week simply enjoying Melbourne and exploring further afield – taking in the spectacular sights of the Great Ocean Road, Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island. Many visitors also use a flight to Melbourne as the springboard for a wider Australian adventure – travelling around the country for several weeks.

What should I see in Melbourne?

Once you’ve booked your Melbourne plane tickets, a tour of Flinders Street Station should definitely be on your list. The iconic features adorning the entrance inspired the popular local saying ‘meet me under the clocks’.

While you’re in the area, don’t miss Federation Square, a popular plaza for arts, culture and public events. Then there’s the city’s packed sporting calendar – if you can, take in the atmosphere at a cricket or ‘footy’ game at the colossal MCG.

What food is Melbourne known for?

A cosmopolitan city, Melbourne boasts culinary influences from around the world. You’ll find everything from gourmet burgers to perfect pizza.

There’s also a strong Asian influence, demonstrated by both an array of Japanese restaurants and Melbourne’s thriving Chinatown district. Brunch is big in Melbourne too, part of a booming cafe culture that has seen its coffee voted the best in the world.
