It’s too easy to hide away during Winter, curled up on the sofa, under a doona, the remote peaking out to scroll through Netflix.
But that is not the answer…
Melbourne comes alive in Winter, with so many festivals, events and dining options to choose from….it’s actually impossible to be bored.
So cast off the doona, grab your boots and coat and hit the streets.
We’ve put together a few of our favourites for you to explore with friends….
🔥The Queen Victoria Night Market
Enjoy more the 35 of Melbourne’s best street food traders, the hardest part will be deciding whether it’s Mexican tacos, wood-fired pizzas, or pasta tossed in cheese wheels!
There’s plenty of entertainment too, with live music on the main stage and roaming performers wandering the aisles.
Best get here by tram so you can try the Hot Gin Toddies or the Mulled Wine. 🍷
Runs every Wednesday night until August 31
🔥Party like an Eskimo
Love eating outdoors but not keen on the chilly night air?
How about an Igloo for something different? With 4 Pop-Up venues across Melbourne, the Igloo experience is a cosy option for your next date or with a group of friends.
Settle into the furry pillows and enjoy some great food and drinks under the stars.

🔥One for the Culture Cats
Head down to the NGV International and spend your time admiring some world-class art. You could spend hours here, so take your time to get lost in the many varied exhibits.
Don’t miss the Great Hall…. Grab a coffee at the cafe and lie on the floor under the impressive boiled-lolly like stained glass ceiling.
🔥Flex Your Board Game Skills
Here’s the bar to hang with your mates for hours, not just drinking but gaming…retro style!
Why not Connect Four with beers, or perhaps Chess with Martini’s, not sure how the Twister will go with cocktails but it would be entertaining for sure!
Try these bars for all the fun-
