11/09/2022Spring in Melbourne!

Seven reasons why spring is the best time in Melbourne (not to be confused with our list of 13 reasons why summer is the best time in Melbourne):

1. It’s the only time of year we (usually) don’t experience temperatures as low as 10 celsius or as high as 40 celsius
2. Spring is when Melbourne hosts its two favourite sporting events: the AFL Grand Final and the Melbourne Cup, each of which is celebrated with a public holiday!
3. The city bursts into life with fanstastic displays of spring colour. Check out some impressive flora at Fitzroy Gardens Conservatory and the Tesselaar Tulip Festival.
4. Music fans can get their fix at the Melbourne Jazz Festival, running from 14th-23rd October in multiple venues across the city. We recommend checking out Big Saturday at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on 15th October.
5. Melbourne is famous for its food scene and a trip to the Night Noodle Market is a great way to sample some of the best dishes the city has to offer. Despite the name there’s a lot more than just noodles on offer and it’s here in town from 10th-27th November.
6. Mild spring temperatures provide perfect the perfect conditions for exploring the city on foot. Step out into some of Melbourne’s famous laneways such as Hosier Lane which showcases some of the best graffiti Melbourne is famous for.
7. Last but not least, spring is an ideal time of year to enjoy a Feel Good Adventure! September to November is less busy than the peak summer season, meaning you can enjoy the sights and sounds of our experiences in relative peace and quiet. The waterfalls are also in top form this time of year and wildlife is much easier to spot that in the hotter months.
