Things To Do in Melbourne

Melbourne has an underlying beat of glamour. Stroll down to Crown Melbourne complex or head to Prahran or South Yarra to discover the hippest nightspots and gloriously indulgent restaurants. See why Melbourne is called the "Fashion Capital" by checking out the amazing shopping experiences on offer such as the Queen Victoria Village (known as QV), Melbourne Emporium and Chadstone Shopping Centre. Make sure you have a walk down Chapel Street or pop into Queen Victoria Market, whatever your style Melbourne will be able to cater for you. The many lane-ways lead to amazing discoveries so don’t be shy to go for a walk! One place that cannot be missed when visiting Melbourne is the Docklands district. Located along the banks of the Yarra River, it is a buzzing hub of restaurants, cafés, nightlife, shopping, and events. It is also known as the dining district in Melbourne, with hundreds of restaurants along the waterfront serving a wide range of international and local cuisine. On the outskirts of Melbourne in the Dandenong Ranges is Puffing Billy which is a steam train that travels through the Ranges. With the lush fern gullies brushing past, and the tall mountain ash trees towering overhead, Puffing Billy makes for a wonderful opportunity to relax and breathe in the fresh air whilst the train makes its way through the temperate rainforest.

If you are arriving into Avalon Airport, collect your hire car and head south for 30 minutes towards the city of Geelong. Geelong is historically a port city which has transformed in recent years into a thriving hub of urban precincts, coastal towns, and world-class eateries. Spot street art in hidden streets and alleyways, indulge in food & wine amongst local wineries, ride a century-old carousel or explore the You Yangs mountain range, there's something for everyone to do in Melbourne. Whether you're after a convenient airport rental or downtown collection, DriveAway makes booking your Melbourne car hire easy.
