Woeful eye sore what a waste of tax payers money a concrete jungle why not go green add some color to the city oh wait that would be common sense
The fed. square has great energy, and you can catch lots of events, especially arts events. As a 'tourist' who used to live in Melbourne, I'm drawn to the fun and excitement of this place - a great place to meet friends and begin your catch up!
Look, it could really do with some greenery. It's a great meeting spot and sometimes has awesome entertainment and I appreciate it for that. But It's a cement slab when I think about it. Maybe some gardens and some plants would do the trick.
Love it or hate it but it's a great meeting spot and hosts heaps of events. Has a 7-11 and a number of cafes and restaurants located there. It's a Melbourne icon <3
I absolutely love fed square. I regularly come just to see what is happening. There is usually always something happening, live entertainment, functions, festivals, it's all just amazing to witness or be a part of. When it's hot there is blue fold out just chairs that you can lay on, free wifi and it is easily accessible to everything in the city. Just across from flinders street station, there is an information centre and many small restaurants and shops on the edges of fed square all of high quality. Great place to meet up with people, it's a great location and one if my favourite places. There is parking out the back of federation square that few people know about, it's cheap and is great quality. The Ian Potter Centre is also off Fed Square and is easily accessible.
A must for any person, one of the best places, even if nothing is happening.
Always free entertainment on offer, suggest looking on the whats on in melbourne website to see whats on. From free excercise programs, to movies, live entertainment etc
Highly recommend, especially if you're visiting
This is great place, always crowded, always something happening. Lots of visitors and casual people, it is lovely atmosphere, restaurants, sitting area, large playground just a few hundred metres from there.
Thanks for your good review.
convenient and central location since it's right next to the main transport hub, flinders street station
there's almost always something on everytime i visit, from exhibitions to performances to random shows on the big screen (which is great in summer, beach chairs and all!)
may get too busy sometimes, but overall a decent tourist spot :D
I went to Fed Square when travelling to Melbourne to watch the Melbourne Cup! It was a rainy day which was upsetting, and there was not enough chairs to go round (we sat on the ground), but the big television was great, and so was the vibe surrounding us. There are also plently of bars and cafes around here as well.
its a great Melbourne icon!
thanks for sharing :)
