What to do in Melbourne

Melbourne, capital of Victoria and the second biggest city in Australia, is a truly world-class city. Don't just take our word for it, time and time again this cool coastal city is recognised for everything from its iconic city centre laneways and nightlife to its thriving arts scene and sheer range of things to do and attractions.

Whether you're a local searching for things to do in Melbourne this weekend, or planning your holiday itinerary from interstate or overseas, you'll find a selection of unmissable Melbourne attractions in the CBD and beyond here at Adrenaline.

Take a solo trip, have some fun as a family, do something incredible as a couple. Whatever your adventure goals, Adrenaline has you covered with unique Melbourne experiences across sky, land and water.

One of the easiest ways to find the best things to do is by browsing our range. Take a look around the site for must-see Melbourne activities and attractions, with options to suit all ages.

Thrilling Melbourne experiences

You don’t always need to stray too far from the city for an adventure with a big dose of exhilaration.

Sightseeing helicopter flights from Essendon or Melbourne CBD are also popular. Not only are helicopter rides a real bucket list thrill, but they also give you chance to see the best views of Melbourne in record time. Look out some breathtaking scenes and Melbourne's most famous landmarks, like the MCG, Luna Park and Eureka Skydeck.

One of the most exhilarating ways to see the Melbourne CBD is hot air ballooning. From a hot air balloon, viewers can take in incredible views of spots including Federation Square, the Yarra River across Southbank, Queen Victoria Market and the Docklands, and witness the incredible views of iconic landmarks such as the Melbourne Star.

Travel for less than an hour outside the city and you can even go white water kayaking on the Yarra River. It’s an incredible way to get a dose of the great outdoors, just a short trip from the CBD.
