Itinerary

Head to one of the city’s slickest hidden cocktail bars for a chance to break bread and ice with your personable Localing host. Share a few tastes and interests to help make the experience personal. With tireless hours of research, and reading, drinking and story swapping, you are in tried and capable hands. Begin with a gin or a classic cocktail in the intimate ‘Bar Americano,’ or with wine and tapas at our favourite laneway wine bar. Learn about the city’s dark side and the many curious characters from both sides of the law, who have helped to shape Melbourne.
4 hAdmission included
Continue to one of the city’s ‘rooftop bars’ and enjoy a different view of Melbourne, a local craft beer and a few more tasty share plates. Meet the people at the creative heart of this vibrant industry for some unique insight. Down a cobble-stoned lane, take a left, a right and another left past the colourful street art, heaving dumpling joints and tantalising sounds of karaoke - leave it all behind in a hidden speakeasy from another time and place. Visit late night Tokyo, or a ‘gold rush’ opium den, a dive bar on the wrong side of a fridge door …expect the unexpected from the Melbourne night. Bring your appetite, as you will have the chance to sample an array of delicious cuisines. Melbourne's best bar food, from charcuterie boards delicately adorned with local produce, to scrumptious dim sum or discover the joys of the humble Aussie jaffle.

About Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.

Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.

Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
