Explore things to do in Federation Square – Melbourne’s Meeting Place and surrounds

Situated along the Yarra River (the land around Birrarung) and opposite the iconic Flinders Street Station, Federation Square is a public place for creative expression and an area of cultural significance to Aboriginal people. 

Federation Square is the centre of creativity in a city that’s built around innovation, art, leafy green spaces, a flowing river and contemporary cultural activities and festivals. The gathering place’s unique architectural shape has seen the square recognised on the Victorian Heritage Register, making it the youngest building in Australian history to gain heritage status. 

Immerse yourself in Australia’s rich heritage and identity with a visit to three of Melbourne’s creative and historical institutions, the Australian Centre of the Moving Image (ACMI), The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia and the Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT).
