 Southbank 

Southbank

There’s nothing quite like sitting in a riverside restaurant, bar or café, watching Melburnians and visitors pass by on the promenade. Admire the city and its magnificent skyline from Southgate, a popular restaurant and shopping destination. Enjoy lunch, or a spot of retail therapy, before heading to one of the nearby art galleries, or theatres for a night out.

As the cultural capital of Australia, Southbank is home to Melbourne’s renowned arts precinct, with major art institutions and arts companies calling the precinct home. Southbank is your start to a unique art, food and shopping experience in Melbourne.

Want to see Melbourne from a different angle? Choose from scenic cruises, St Kilda penguin trips, ferries to Williamstown, water taxis and more. Visit the Southgate information booth for details.
