There's a reason why Melbourne's known as Australia's unofficial sports capital. Ground passes and a few cocktails at the Australian Open are a beloved January tradition, along with pre-match long lunches and post-match celebratory drinks. Whether you're a local or hopping on a plane to catch a match, here's where to eat, stay and play while you're at the AO in '25.
While the action heats up on court at the Australian Open, we'll show you how to ace the off-court scene by serving up Melbourne's best places to stay, eat and play.
