CBD (Melbourne)
Melbourne CBD is the heart of the city—dense, walkable, and energetic—it’s full of restaurants, bars, galleries, theatre, and shopping districts. It’s both a commercial centre and a residential neighbourhood with a fast-growing population of students, young professionals, creatives, and migrants. The CBD sits beside Docklands in the west, Southbank south across the river, Carlton and Fitzroy in the north, and East Melbourne in the East. Key areas include Bourke Street Mall for shopping, Flinders Lane restaurant scene, and Docklands Edge, the modern waterfront. The vibe of the CBD is multicultural, and always-on, while every street feels different. Food and dining options are defined by laneway cafés, fine dining restaurants, and Italian, French, Greek, Indian, Middle Eastern and modern fusion. Head to the top streets of Flinders Lane, Hardware Lane, Little Bourke Street (Chinatown), and Collins and Exhibition Streets. The CBD is the city’s cultural heart, visit the State Library of Victoria, Princess, Regent, and Comedy Theatre, or enjoy live music nights. Nights out offer everything from cocktail lounges and hidden speakeasies, clubs and dance bars, and karaoke and late-night Chinatown spots. Enjoy an energetic night out with a CBD hooker, or book a discreet in-call with a sophisticated independent escort in Melbourne CBD.
