Occupying pride of place on the shores of the Yarra River, the Southbank and Arts Centre is a stone's throw away from the famed Flinders Street Station. The area is one of the most laid-back and culturally rich regions in the city with dozens of cafes, outdoor restaurants and live acts performing on the streets. The Sunday arts and crafts market is another reason to head down to the Southbank and Arts Centre, which also houses Hamer Hall, the State Theatre, Fairfax Studio, and the Playhouse.
