WHY CHOOSE SOUTHBANK AS YOUR DESTINATION?
Situated on the southern bank of the Yarra River, Southbank is directly across from Melbourne's central business district.
Southbank boasts an impressive 2 km stretch of the Yarra River, adorned with wide pedestrian promenades that offer picturesque views of the river and the city skyline. Towards the eastern end of this suburb, you'll find Princes Bridge, which provides direct access to Melbourne's CBD.
Adjacent to the bridge is the Arts Centre Melbourne, a cultural hub featuring a concert hall and multiple theaters dominated by an iconic white spire that reaches towards the sky.
Continuing west along the Southbank Promenade, you'll come across the Southgate shopping center, a multi-level complex housing numerous retail stores, restaurants, and cafes that overlook the river.
At Queensbridge Square, you'll encounter the historic Sandridge Bridge, originally built in 1888 as a railway bridge connecting the city with Port Melbourne and St Kilda. It has since been transformed into a pedestrian bridge adorned with public art sculptures.
Further west along the riverfront walkway, known as Yarra Promenade, lies the renowned Crown Entertainment Complex. Here, you'll find the acclaimed Crown Casino, a wide selection of restaurants, and a large cinema complex.
At Spencer Street, you'll find the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, affectionately referred to as "Jeff's Shed" by locals. This venue hosts a multitude of exhibitions and events. The riverfront walkway extends westward into the South Wharf precinct, passing by the lawns at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, and leading to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. The Seafarers pedestrian bridge provides a convenient link over the Yarra River to the World Trade Centre precinct in Docklands.
Southbank is renowned for its cultural offerings, including the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne's leading contemporary art gallery. Other notable cultural institutions in the area include the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian Ballet Centre, the Melbourne Recital Centre, and the Victorian College of the Arts, just to name a few.
One of the main attractions of Southbank is its convenient location just across the river from the heart of Melbourne, as well as its proximity to some of Melbourne's finest gardens and parklands to the east of St Kilda Road. Additionally, Southbank is a modern residential area characterized by high-density apartment buildings, offering a vibrant urban lifestyle.
