Have your plans for tonight fallen through or are you simply the type to live on the edge and wait until the last possible moment to plan your day? Luckily, Melbourne is the type of city where you can always count on finding something fun to do on short notice – even right now, in the depths of winter.
From five-star musicals to world-class exhibitions, there is plenty to do if you're keen to explore the city's arts and culture scene. Love nothing more than a good ol' pamper sesh? Hit up a day spa or book yourself in for a facial. And if you're hungry – boy, are you in luck. Head to one of Melbourne's best restaurants or bars for a meal you won't forget. We even have some cheap eat options, if you're on a budget.
The fun doesn't stop at the city limits, either. Hit the road for an epic day trip, where you can discover the coolest waterfalls or go on a stunning hike. And because it's officially snow season, here's everything you need to know about hitting the slopes in Victoria.
So, what are you waiting for? Have a scroll, lace up your shoes and prepare to hit the town – these are the best things to do in Melbourne today.
