If Melbourne isn’t on your list of travel destinations for 2025, you’ll be missing out on a city full of unique experiences and adventures. From the best coffee you’ve ever tasted to a whole roster of sporting events, here are the top reasons to visit Melbourne this year.
Vibrant Street Art
If you find yourself at a loose end after settling at any of the hotels near Tullamarine Airport, head to the Laneways, where Melbourne’s vibrant street art brings you a treat for your eyes!

World Class Coffee
Melbourne’s coffee culture hails from back in the 1830s. Today, the city is teeming with all kinds of cafes, offering a range of flavours that you can try once you step out of your room at hotels like PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport.
Wildlife Encounters
Melbourne is also home to adorable koalas, penguins, dolphins and seals, and you’ll find them if you make a day trip to Philip Island. It’s a natural oasis away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
Exquisite Wine Tastings
Another great thing about Melbourne is that it’s about an hour away from several premier wine regions in the country. Here, delicious wine tastings, scenic vineyards and engaging tours await.
Thrilling Sports Events
There’s a reason why Melbourne is the sporting capital of Australia – there’s always something taking place, be it world-class tennis, exciting cricket matches or thrilling rugby encounters.
