5 Things to Do in Melbourne During Winter This Year – Winter Fun in Australia’s Cultural Capital in 2021

Winter in the second-largest city in Australia is mostly welcoming with moderate rainfall. While around half of the world is experiencing hot climates, Melbourne treats its residents and visitors to amazing weather. Here are some of the top things to do in Melbourne during winter this year.

1

Relax in a Hot Spring

Hot springs are the perfect antidote to take the winter chills away from you. If you're up for an hour's drive away from Melbourne, you will come across the thermal pools in Fingal, Victoria. Located within a one and a quarter-hour driving distance from properties such as Citadines on Bourke Melbourne, the Peninsula Hot Springs will heal your body with its natural geothermal mineral waters, soothing your sore muscles and relaxing you like never before.

2

Explore the State Library of Victoria

Visiting the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne is a largely underrated activity, particularly during its winter season. Once you enter this magnificent building, go straight to its reading room, which is right under the dome. You will be mesmerised by the exquisite Victorian architecture that has moulded every inch of it. Not only its architectural beauty, but the place also takes your breath away with its incredible collection of literature.

3

Have Fun at the Winter Night Markets

Visiting the winter night markets is one of the top things you can do during your stay at one of the apartments on Bourke Street Melbourne. One of the top-rated markets that simply shouldn't be missed is the Queen Victoria Night Market. Each Wednesday from the 6th of June to the 29th of August, one can experience the delightful ambience and the great atmosphere amid the cold, mingling with the lovely locals while exploring the market between 5-10 pm. You wouldn't feel the minutes pass by as you indulge in the incredible selection of food that is offered by the range of international food stalls found here – not to mention the live music and the occasional artistic performances.

4

Go See an AFL Game – An Absolute Must!

This is, without a doubt, one of Melbourne's most popular activities to do during winter. The Australia Football League (AFL) is adored by many Australians and Melbourne literally lives for this sport – and the anticipation only seems to intensify during winter. Try to get your tickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), which is, in fact, the largest stadium in the southern hemisphere. The thrill of the game, combined with the weather and the brilliant surroundings of the stadium, will treat you to a mesmerising experience.

5

Enjoy Fireworks at the Docklands

Each Friday during winter, one can marvel at the stunning fireworks that light up the skyline in the Docklands area in Melbourne. They usually start around a little late after 7 pm, but the festivities begin much earlier than that. Don't forget to witness this marvellous spectacle with your loved ones while enjoying the music and some delicious eats from the food trucks that crowd the area.
