South Melbourne is one of Melbourne’s oldest suburbs and boasts beautifully restored public buildings, terrace houses and stately mansions. Running through the heart of South Melbourne is cosmopolitan Clarendon Street, featuring restored Victorian shopfronts, as well as fashion, food and fabulous coffee. You’ll find characters, charm and fresh produce galore at the South Melbourne Market, a fixture of the area since 1867.

Sandwiched between South Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay is Albert Park, popular year-round for its cafés and delis and swag of leisure facilities along Bridport Street. Albert Park Lake and surrounding parklands, where Melbourne’s inner city dwellers jog, sail, cycle or row is the main drawcard, with Albert Park beach popular with beach goers in summer. Also in the neighbourhood is the Albert Park Golf Course and the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. In March, race to Albert Park for the Australian Formula One Grand Prix.
