Decisions are hard, especially when trying to choose what to do in Melbourne — it’s easy to get choice paralysis with so much going on in the city. So, let’s look to the stars for help.
Consulting the Zodiac, we’ve picked the must-do activities for each star sign when they’re in the city. From exhibitions to sate even the most curious Gemini to a dumpling tour
The Phantom Of The OperaThe Phantom of The OperaAndrew Lloyd WebberOr, see Shakespeare remixed with your fave pop anthems in the award-winning musical & Juliet at the Regent.
Gimlet At Cavendish HouseGimlet at Cavendish HouseAndrew McConnellOr, be the first on the scene at new Scandi gastronomy haunt Freyja, or take a trip up to the 15th floor for drinks at Sunset House.
Royal Botanic Gardens VictoriaTake a break from your workaholic side and stretch your legs with a long walk through some of Melbourne’s nicest green spots. From the Carlton Gardens fountains to the Fitzroy Gardens conservatory, there are plenty of beautiful green spots to explore as you meditate and plot your next big move. Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria is chock-full of summer extras too, like movies under the stars at the Moonlight Cinema and lush brunch at Jardin Tan Then, as you plan world domination, why not enjoy a cocktail with a view of your future empire at the rooftop bar Loop Roof? You should probably make a booking though, which I’m sure pleases your organised self immensely.
Aquarius
Pomelo Rooftop BarAll about innovation and trying new things, Aquarians have to hold court at Pomelo Rooftop Bar, a cute CBD oasis with bright ’80s vibes and an equally eye-catching menu. If you’ve been to Pomelo’s sister cocktail bar Bouvardia (also worth a visit), you have an idea of what to expect: original cocktails, experiments, alcoholic slushies and their own takes on seltzers and spritzes. Yum! Stay on the oasis theme and continue the crawl to Palmz tropical rooftop or Yarra Falls for cocktails opposite the real waterfall.
Pisces
Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, MuseIntuitive, sensitive, empathetic and constantly oscillating between fantasy and reality: that’s a perfect description for both Pisces and the work of one of their greatest designers, the late Alexander McQueen. From December 11 to April 16, the NGV will host Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse, the first major Aussie exhibition dedicated to the iconic designer.With pieces on loan from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, this is an unprecedented opportunity to get up close with almost 50 designs by McQueen and more than 70 historical artworks, all providing an insight into one of the most pivotal Pisces artists of recent history. While you’re there, check out Temple of Boom in the NGV garden for beats and bevvies.Melbourne most unmissable moments are yours to explore, only in the city.
