Visitors would be smart to check out the official website for Melbourne at http://www.visitvictoria.com/.

There are a number of visitor centers located in the city in various neighborhoods. Look for the distinctive blue and yellow "i" signs around the city as they point to a Visitor Information Centre, part of a network of accredited information centres. These centres are open seven day a week (except Good Friday and Christmas Day) and are staffed with expert locals who can provide information on activities, attractions and whatever other question you might come up with.
