Holiday Description
When the Christmas season comes to Melbourne, the city turns into a winter fairy tale, despite the fact that it’s Summer, and Trusted Travel will be there to shop ’til we drop! December will surprise you with all sorts of festivities from Christmas Festival to traditional Christmas markets across the city.
Everyone knows Melbourne is the best place for bargain shopping. With Christmas stockings to fill (or treat yourself and fill your own stocking) this shopping trip has got your Christmas gift buying covered! Shop till you drop at the Queen Victoria Markets. Wander the secret alleys filled with incredible street art and specialty shops and find yourself some treasures.
Spend a morning in waterside Docklands, here you can also find yourself a bargain and have a bunch of fun at the interactive ArtVo gallery where you become part of the art!
Melbourne holds a grand Christmas Festival starting in November and marking the beginning of preparations for the holiday. Magic awaits you at many venues, including the City Square Plaza, Melbourne Town Hall, and Federation Square. For a truly magical experience, wander down Swanston Street to view Christmas animations at State Library Victoria and static projections on Melbourne Town Hall and Princes Bridge.
Federation Square is the central place of the holiday where a Christmas tree is put up every year and where theatrical musical performances take place. Christmas wonderland at Fed Square also lures visitors to Sky Castle—an interactive sound-and-light installation of inflatable arches that bring colourful symphony across the square.
Pack your Santa sack and jingle bells and come join in all the festivities Melbourne has to offer during this special time of year.
Trusted Travel acknowledges the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the lands we will be visiting.
