Fed Square is a central place in the heart of the city opposite the Flinders Street Station & is a popular meeting place for people in the city. It opened in 2002 and holds many events and activities throughout the year. There is always something going on here so worth hanging out. The Atrium has amazing architecture has art galleries, museums and restaurants as well. Highly recommend this place to spend some quality time with friends and family.
Iconic place in the heart of Melbourne. Often has many different events and pop ups attracting all walks of life to it. Also a nice place to relax/chill and enjoy the Melbourne skyline. There are some pretty cool bars/restaurants on the riverside but also interesting museums and galleries near the square itself
Significant experience and good food! Highly recommend coming with family.
I had heard of Federation Square in passing and thought it would be a good idea to check it out, how right I was! It is so vibrant and interesting that it would take a couple of days to really experience all that it has to offer.I was particularly impressed with the art in the Ian Potter Centre.Federation Square is a must if you are going to Melbourne.
The Melbourne City or The CBD is the central built up area of the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, centered on the Hoddle Grid, the oldest part of the city laid out in 1837, and includes its fringes. It is the larger local government area of the City of Melbourne which includes this area and the inner suburbs around it.As much a culture and dining hub as it is a business district, the CBD has plenty of clubs, bars and chic eateries on its street art–plastered laneways. Shoppers throng the ornate 19th-century arcades and sprawling Queen Victoria Market. Federation Square offers Australian art at the Ian Potter Centre, and art-house films and movies at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.The City of Melbourne represents the citys regularly grid-planned Central Business District and historical core, located on the north bank of the Yarra River. Being at the center of Melbourne, the CBD is extremely well-serviced by all forms of public transport which is free for all in the area of city. Driving into the CBD is discouraged, due to traffic congestion, limited mobility and parking availabilityMelbourne is a mix of old and new city. Exclusive shopping arcades and the bustling Queen Victoria Market, along with historical landmarks from centuries ago, blend in with modern office towers. The Rialto Towers in Collins Street is the central business districts tallest building, rising to a height of 251 meters. Views of Melbournes city skyline can be enjoyed from the taller Eureka Tower across the Yarra River in neighboring Southbank or the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel at Docklands.It’s exciting to travel Melbourne every time. I prefer all to visit Melbourne.
With roadworks going on and public access blocked from two sides, it might be disappointing to go here at the current timing. Please consider entering from acmi side or the river side.Lovely area with lots of events going on which changes every now and then. Will be good to check on event updates and visit it.
Not a bad little outdoor areas with a few cool things to look at. The museum had nothing to show sadly as they were renovating. There is a nice pub there and we were lucky enough to be there on Star Wars day (May the 4th) and met up with a few friends who were in costume. Also the X-Wing was on display!!
This unique piece of architecture has a lot of space and warmth. It provides entertainment and art for many different tastes,and spending time there is a pleasure.
Fed square is always fun to visit, though the construction is a but much at the moment. Did an Aboriginal cultural heritage walk, which was really interesting.
The square is across the road from Flinders Street Stations main entrance. After heading up a set of shallow stone stairs, you end up in the large plaza, which included a stage. I was there when it was empty and was able to look at the design on the floor. There were really interesting looking buildings lining the edge of the square, both in colour and shape. There are also a few dining areas around including Niska, the robot ice cream bar.I quite liked the games scattered around the square, as well as umbrellas and seating so you can just relax for a bit there. There is also a set of stairs that take you down towards the river side for a nice stroll.
It seemed a smaller than usual (construction) people were making the most of it with what was on offer. Good to be out ...
One of the iconic places in Melbourne. Great spot to sit down and enjoy the views of early morning or late afternoon rush. You just need to find a seat across the Cathedral. The intersection really gets crowded with people, buses, and trams. If youre a tourist, its the place to go.It is basically close to some of the popular CBD attractions so this is always a perfect spot to start your day tour.
Great outdoor space for meeting up with your friends. Close to all Public Transport, shops and restaurants. A great place to watch sports on the big screen, day or night. And most recently the addition of the #UooUoo called #UooUoonicorn, one of the 100 UooUoos placed around Melbourne to raise funds for the Royal Melbourne Childrens Hospital. What a great city to live in.
Such a great compound... Good landmark to meet anyone at the city, theres always something going around at the day.The food and gallery is expensive tho but definitely a good landmark .Its proximity to many Melbourne attractions is excellent imo
Federation square is the hub of arts, entertainment, and events. There are so many things to do here spending on your interests. Art galleries can be a good start of your day. The Flinder Street station is just next block. You can only sit and soak the sun when Melbourne is sunny. Info hub is here to help you with directions and charge your devices. If you come to Melbourne, Federation Square is a great place to start off your vacation.
When you have no sense of art or architecture, but you got an opportunity to design some art square and some buildings, you will then design Fed Square. If you don’t get to design Fed Square, you can cross the road to some lane and spray rubbish on the wall and call it art and after that urinate on the wall. Tourists will come from afar to soak up the atmosphere and the aroma of your p*ss. Sums up the city, form over function. Actually, there is not even form.
One of the most famous landmark of Melbourne cbd. A must visit place
Awesome Lovely experience
Visited the square in first week of December.Was well decorated and decked up for Christmas.Its close to Flinder street station and on the banks of Yarra river.It was a weekend and with Christmas round the corner it was packed with families and kids.Lot of activities for kids were on and they were having a blast
Federation Square is an interesting site. It had people divided over its design from the very beginning... which is funny when you remember that the Sydney Opera House had the same problems 😉This is a good outdoor meeting area, as its located right next to Flinders Street Station, and has a number of activities and facilities located right next door. I like meeting up with people here, and I like the unique design of the buildings (based on mathematical principles or so I was told). Love this city!
Love this place! The museum, Restaurants, everything is amazing.If you ever get the chance, do the tour-explains everything about it. I remember that I watched AFL grand final on the big screen at fed sqaure. There is always something going on at fed sqaure. Overall-amazing & wonderful place to be there when one is in Melbourne.
The easiest place to meet when hooking up with friends. During the day lots to and see.
One of the main focal points of the CBD, theres always some type of event happening.A good rendez vu spot...
Beautiful wide space and great places to eat and see around. Short walk around to anywhere. Cant miss it when meeting up.
This is Federation Square, one of my most favourite places in Melbourne CBD. I love going to this Melbourne location. I love coming to Fed Square to mostly see the really tall skyscrapers across the Yarra River. Its also a place where I can go sit down, relax in a quiet spot. And I was there earlier today on 31st March, 2021. I find Federation Square a very peaceful place, somewhere I can enjoy myself looking at the city, and watch the trams go past. But I mostly like being in shady areas without too much sunlight.
The place has a great vibe !The architecture is so amazing !I always go to federation square whenever I visit Melbourne.. its a place to relax .. have a friendly chat .. coffee .. food ...Its got a diversity with which you can relate to !I just love the place 💗
A sunny and breezy midday at 21degrees is a perfect summer Sunday! Taking in the sight and sound is pure magic.
Always something to do here.check out the free exhibitions around Fed Square, theres a big TV screen there that often shows some cool movies and there are deck chairs provided. If theres a special event on like watching a sports game get there early. Therere also some magicians which you can enjoy but that occurs on wekkends and occasionally can be any time.
Must visit place. Heart of Melbourne city. Next to Flinders Street train station and good place to take Panorama pics. Yarra river, free trams and gardens with lake view, ducks and boats and many more to explore at Federation Square.
Awesome view.
Great meeting place in Melbourne right next to Flinders Street Station, very easy to access
Very disappointing that a multimillion dollar complex cant manage to get their parking right.If you make your patrons run around a parking structure to pay for your parking fee you shouldnt be charging anything.Took two machines to find one that works.Yeah... great place to go, but we went today for the parking.Sorry, you get 2 stars due to asking people to go out of their way for your incompetence.
Thanks to Melbourne City council for arranging beautiful decoration for 2020 at Federation square
Nice night to chill at Fed square.
Nice place to sit there and see pedestrain walking around
Wow! Federation Square is in the very heart of the city opposite Flinders Street Station and on the Yarra River. The architecture is also very interesting. A visit is highly recommended.
Polish Festival 2019... Great place to hangout with family and friends
Pretty busy 2 days before xmas
Cool place to hang out, amazing buldings amazing shapes and structures.
Cool space :) adding some old pics!
Federation Square is a venue for arts, culture and public events on the edge of the CBD of Melbourne. It built above busy railway lines and across the road from Flinders Street station. It incorporates major cultural institutions such as the Ian Potter Centre and ACMI and Koorie Heritage Trust as well as cafes and bars in a series of buildings centred around a large paved square, and a glass walled atrium. The corner is occupied by a glass walled pavilion that provides access to the underground Melbourne Visitor Centre.A great place to spend an afternoon with friends and family.
Very pretty Christmas decor. This attracts huge cross crowd to Fed Square
Nice Architecture and Places to see...
Went to fed square today for pixar putt with the family. Loved it the pre booking meant no real ques and the sessions were limited enough you hardly had to wait. Great family fun it does end quickly so longevity isnt something to look for in this event. However I still recommend it for a laugh and a chance to get back out into the city..
Good place to relax. Melbourne is cool!
Good place to sit down and take in the hustle and bustle of melbourne. They’re are more than 470,000 ochre-coloured sandstone blocks from Western Australia and invokes images of the outback. The paving is designed as a huge urban artwork, called Nearamnew, by Paul Carter and gently rises above street level, containing a number of textual pieces inlaid in its undulating surface. MORE THAN 470,000 individual squares on the floor !!! Also acmi is great place for a fun weekend day with the kids/ family!
Very unique architecture..very unusual and their shape is very abstract..
Famous place next to flinder station
