The neighbourhoods surrounding the CBD are what makes Melbourne such a diverse city; from the St Kilda Pier and beachside eateries to Fitzroy's ever-evolving cafe scene and the roar of crowds at Marvel Stadium in Docklands to the epic array of Greek restaurants on Swan Street in Richmond, Melbourne's lively suburbs are a must for any visitor. While the city is an exciting place to explore, much more awaits for those travelling a little out of the city. Day trips are popular, with the Yarra Valley just 90 minutes' drive away, full of wineries and hiking trails and Phillip Island just a short boat ride off the coast where you can watch the famous fairy penguins return at sunset after a day's fishing at sea.
If you are heading to Melbourne this autumn and looking for the ideal base to explore, look no further than the Docklands harbour precinct. Here, you can get a great night’s sleep, enjoy a stone oven pizza by the water, indulge in retail therapy or adventure down the Yarra River by night.
