I love the City of Melbourne
especially during the Christmas season! You can't help but smile and get into
the festive spirit once all the lights and decorations are up. There is so much
to do and it’s a night full of fun for the family and close friends.
I have had a lot of people ask me
where to go in the city during the Christmas season so I thought I would share
with you all my favourite spots
Bourke Street
I like to start at Bourke Street Mall
and look at the decorations over the tram lines the bells change colours and
the wreaths hanging over David Jones are stunning. It's a beautiful spot to
take photos and it's also a good opportunity to take some selfies for your
Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. If you plan to take a selfie please pay
attention to the trams
Myer Windows
The Myer windows are also at Bourke
Street; the windows are 59-year tradition in Melbourne. This year's theme is a
'Santa Claus and the Three Bears' its must see, it has a great storyline and
the animation work is amazing. The whole family would love it.
Myer windows times: 7:30am-1:00am
(free event)
After the windows I walk to the Town
Hall
The Town Hall
The Town Hall is my favourite place
to visit during the Christmas season! During the day you can see the
Gingerbread village by Epicure. But after dark that's when the magic happens
the Town Hall lights up in beautiful and bright colours with the light
projection show. It seriously gets better every year!
The projection show times:
9:00pm-11:00pm (free event)
After the Town Hall I make my way to
the City Square
City Square
During the Christmas season the City
Square is transformed into The Christmas Square. There is a giant Christmas
tree, giant candy canes, a nativity scene and you can send your letters to
Santa there. There are many great photo opportunities there
After you visit The City Square it's
time to have a rest head over to Brunetti get some coffee, cake and reflect on
what a great night you have had in the most livable city during the most
wonderful time of the year
