You're invited to watch a guided Video Tour of the Yarra or
put on your walking shoes and discover the river's fascinating
history and attractions with our Walking Tour Podcast.
Melbourne's lower Yarra River is the city's tourism and recreation
heart. It hums with activity, on land and water. River boats,
water taxis and leisure craft link the vibrancy of Federation
Square, Southgate and Crown Entertainment Complex.
Outstanding dining and shopping opportunities blend with museums,
leading galleries, an aquarium, concert halls and theatres
to create one of the most diverse visitor precincts in the
country.
The Yarra is a Melbourne icon and is the focus for numerous
spectacular events including Moomba Waterfest, rowing regattas,
the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival and major exhibitions.
Discover the Riverside parks, the cycling tracks, historic
rowing sheds & beautiful gardens, the great restaurants,
shopping and 24/7 entertainment.
Cruise the Yarra with Andrew Bird, the Skipper of the Rebecca
and walk the banks of Melbourne's Yarra with Mike Ryan as
they show you its secrets, revealing the history and developments
of this vibrant part of the city.
The Walking Tour begins at Federation Square and will take
between one hour and two hours to complete.
And the best thing is that the Video and Walking Tour are
free!
