Summer in Melbourne means one thing: the Australian Open has arrived. The city is buzzing, the world’s biggest tennis stars are in town, and Melbourne is at its electric best. As players like Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff touch down and fans flood the city, there’s never been a better time to experience Melbourne from a whole new perspective.
Whether you’re courtside at Melbourne Park or soaking up the atmosphere across the city, Melbourne Skydeck is the ultimate addition to your Australian Open itinerary.
Rising high above the city in the iconic Eureka Tower, Melbourne Skydeck is the highest observation deck in the Southern Hemisphere, offering unbeatable panoramic views across Melbourne and beyond. From Port Phillip Bay to the Dandenong Ranges, it’s an iconic way to see the city from a completely new angle.
Summer is when Melbourne truly comes alive. Alongside the Australian Open, the city hosts world-class theatre, exhibitions, live music, rooftop bars and major sporting events. A visit to Melbourne Skydeck places you right in the heart of it all, with sweeping views across the city skyline — making it one of the must-do things in Melbourne this summer for locals and visitors alike.
Held every January, the Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the tennis calendar and one of the biggest sporting events in the Southern Hemisphere. Taking over Melbourne Park for three weeks of world-class tennis, the tournament attracts the world’s top-ranked players alongside hundreds of thousands of fans from around the globe.
Whether you’re watching the Australian Open on the big screen at Fed Square up the atmosphere with fellow fans in the heart of the city, or experiencing the action up close with centre-court seats at Melbourne Park, Melbourne truly comes alive during the tournament. Beyond the on-court action, the Australian Open is renowned for its electric atmosphere, live entertainment, diverse food precincts and city-wide buzz — transforming the city into a true summer playground.
Perfectly positioned for tennis fans, Melbourne Skydeck is just a leisurely stroll away from Melbourne Park and fits seamlessly into any match-day plans.
Start your day with breathtaking city views before heading courtside, or debrief post-match from 285 metres above the city as the sun sets over Melbourne. Pair the experience with a visit to Bar 88, where signature cocktails, curated wines and light bites set the scene for a relaxed pre-game toast or a celebratory drink after the final set.
