Best Time To Visit Melbourne

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

March - May (14°C to 24°C):

As the temperature hovers around 14 degree to 24 degree celsius, Melbourne experiences the season of autumn or fall during the period of March to May. With tree leaves turning golden, there is a clearer sky after the hot and humid summer. Though, the chill of winter is yet to set in; thus offering a chance to cherish the perfect blend of two weathers in May.

During this time, there are many festivals and events in Melbourne as well. It hosts the Melbourne Food and Wine festival, the Australian Grand Prix, the Comedy Festival and the Fashion Festival as well.

June - August (8°C to 15°C):

From June to August, Melbourne gets dreary cold while the temperature hovers around 8°C-15°C. Unlike Sydney or Brisbane, the cold here is not pleasant. Instead, the precipitation level is comparatively higher making Melbourne experience the coldest weather in August.

However, the city itself is not as dreary during this time as the weather. While it is too cold to enjoy the water activities, one can take this opportunity to explore the town and find new places to dine and drink in.

September - November (11°C to 22°C):

September to November is once again a great time to visit Melbourne with temperature ranging between 11 degree and 22 degree celsius. The city enjoys springtime during these months. Flowers start blooming and there is a lush green view all around. But, despite the beautiful weather from September to November, there are fewer crowds.

One can roam around the marketplaces and enjoy city sightseeing destinations without elbowing through strings of people.

December - February (25°C to 30°C):

While the temperature in Melbourne stays around 25°C-30°C around December to February, it is the peak season of tourism here. Thus, the weather in Melbourne is hot and humid during this time. Though, it doesn't restrict visitors from enjoying a sojourn here. The hotels are packed, and the flight tickets are all booked more or less. So it would be better to book them well in advance in order to visit Melbourne this time.

Best Time To Visit For Events And Festivals:

Melbourne is world-famous for different events and festivals. If you want to enjoy them, the spring-summer season is the best time to do it. The renowned Melbourne Festival and the Melbourne Fringe Festival celebrating dance, music, comedy and theatre take place in October and November. During summer, St Kilda Festival, Zoo Twilights and Laneway Festivals are celebrated with spirited fervour.

Avina's 9 days trip to Melbourne

5 star We recently returned from an incredible trip to Australia, all thanks to the amazing team at Wanderbird Holidays! From start to finish, the planning was seamless, with every detail thoughtfully handled by Raunak and the team. We enjoyed every moment, and it was so reassuring to have their consistent support and guidance along the way. The personalised recommendations for each city by Raunak, on top of the customised itinerary made by Meenakshi, made our experience even more amazing, and knowing they were just a call away during our travels gave us complete peace of mind. This was hands-down one of our best-planned vacations, and we can’t wait to book more adventures with Wanderbird Holidays. We’ve already recommended them to our family, and we’re confident they’ll love the experience just as much as we did!

Neeraj's 7 days trip to Melbourne

Really satisfied with the trip! All the hotels provided had pretty good location. Rohit from Hubholiday was very active throughout all stages of the trip,right from planning the itinerary to the very end . We planned our entire itinerary during late hours and Rohit was happily available to receive calls during those odd hours mostly after 12 midnight! Execution was as good as the planning. These guys , Rohit and Prashant, were available for queries throughout the trip. They entertained even the last minute changes. Overall an excellent trip to a beautiful country!

Sachin's 10 days trip to Melbourne

We did not like the arrangements at all. They could have been much better planned and executed if they would have thought about their customers even a bit. After hundreds of calls, messages and emails from my husband, the final vouchers were handed to us 8 hours before our flight.. we did not even have time to take a careful look at them.. The sightseeing tours were not selected thoughtfully. Most of the sightseeings were at max 1.5 hours long and repititive like the Skydeck in Melbourne, Skypoint in Gold coast, Harbour cruise in Sydney, etc.. and then the entire day was left free, which is good for some days but not all days which was the case with us. Better sightseeing tours should have been planned. We had to book several additional sightseeing tours on Viator.com so as to be able to experience Australia.. If we would have followed only the itinerary prepared by the agent, we wouldn't even have seen a Kangaroo or Koala Bear even after spending so much money and staying for 10 days in Australia.. It was evident that the cheapest of sightseeing tours available were booked for us, for example, the cruise in Sydney was an hour long and consisted of us just sitting on a ferry and seeing the harbour without anyone telling us what we are seeing.. It was a complete waste of time, we got much more information while riding on Ferries for our visit to the zoo that we booked separately.. No pickups from our Hotels were arranged even when complimentary pickups were available with the tours booked.. No directions were provided to us regarding where to reach and how.. No information on local transport available and how to travel was provided.. We know how Google Maps work and therefore got to the specified locations, however, any aged or not so tech savvy travellers would have missed their tours repeatedly.. It was a total chaos. On top of all that, this was my husband's birthday trip and he had told this to the agent several times, but they were not even courteous enough to book us a cake.. The agent wished a very Happy Birthday to my husband on Whatsapp though.. The rooms booked for us in Sydney didn't have complimentary breakfast and were so small that there was hardly any space to stand apart from the queen bed that was provided to the 2 of us.. The upgrades were available starting at just Rs. 1500 per night but they booked us the cheapest option so that they could pocket as much money as possible.. We felt cheated time and again during the entire trip. We will never travel with HubHolidays again and would suggest others too not to make that mistake..
