NEIGHBOURHOOD DESCRIPTION
Set in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, just steps from train and tram stations, Arrow on Swanston is the perfect gateway to the top attractions and things to do in Melbourne, Including:
VICTORIA MARKET
When in Melbourne, you simply have to experience the iconic Victoria Market. It is just an 8-min walk to the largest open-air market in the southern hemisphere. Melbournites love their heritage-listed Queen Victoria Market – it is their heart and soul - and you’ll soon see why. In addition to great shops, you’ll find street buskers, unique souvenirs and fresh produce and treats at the Dairy Hall.
SHOPPING CENTRES
Nearby Melbourne Central and QV Melbourne shopping centres are two of Victoria’s best. Melbourne Central is the largest shopping centre in the CBD, with more than 300 retailers (including Hoyts cinema) spread over five levels. It includes the castle-like shot tower that was built in 1889.
Stylish QV Melbourne is known for its delicious restaurants and cafés as well as its night life. Both shopping centres have Strike Bowling, and QV has a pool hall, darts bar, karaoke bar and flight simulator. Both centres are within a short 8-min stroll. An 8-min tram ride will take you to further high-end shops along Bourke Street Mall and Collins Street.

Melbourne is celebrated worldwide for its vibrant coffee houses and bistros, found in arcades and alleys with street art (and even in Arrow on Swanston itself with our own delightful café). Using the best coffee beans, Melbourne’s roasters and baristas are among the most knowledgeable and innovative in the world. The City’s fine restaurants will also delight, with many of the establishments boasting celebrity chefs, chef hats, Michelin stars, a superb wine selection and stunning surroundings.

STATE LIBRARY OF VICTORIA
Founded in 1854, the State Library of Victoria is the State's premier reference and research library and one of the world's great libraries.
