Where to stay in Melbourne

It’s not just the museums, theatres and festivals that give Melbourne its cultural cachet. It’s also the food, the fashion and of course, the football. To discover everything Victoria’s classy capital has to offer, book a Melbourne holiday.

Package deals are aplenty in Melbs so you’ll have no trouble with choice when it comes to finding a spot to call home during your holiday. If you want to be in the heart of the action, consider one of these neighbourhoods:

 

  • Melbourne Central Business District: Shop for designer brands on Collins Street and taste your way through Chinatown’s restaurants. Enjoy fun nights out at the CBD’s live music venues.

With a huge array of Melbourne package deals available, it’s easy to find a neighbourhood to suit you whether you love glitz and glamour or vintage vibes. 

 

How to find cheap Melbourne deals

Search Expedia to find cheap holidays to Melbourne. Using the filters, combine flights, hotels and activities for cost-saving deals.

Excellent public transport options ensure it’s easy to get around.

Meander along the Yarra River to picnic spots and stroll hand in hand while shopping in the charming Block Arcade. When the sun goes down, sip cocktails at rooftop bars overlooking the sparkling skyline and dance the night away at jazz clubs. 

 

Travel to Melbourne beaches

The beach at Brighton offers dazzling views across to the city, with golden sand and playgrounds for the kids.
