When to visit

The ideal times to visit Melbourne with your family are between March and May or September and November. These months bring moderate temperatures, fewer tourists, and often lower airfare rates. December through February are Melbourne's summer months, which see high temperatures and an influx of visitors, leading to peak travel season.

June to August are the city's winter season, marked by colder weather and fewer visitors. However, Melbourne’s fall and spring seasons offer a delightful mix of changing temperatures and gorgeous views. Regardless of when you visit, booking your hotel well in advance during peak travel times is strongly recommended. And, as always, planning your holiday around school breaks ensures a stress-free experience for the entire family.
