The best Melbourne night tours & experiences with locals

The laid-back coastal capital of the state of Victoria, Melbourne is a dynamic metropolis of lush vegetation, unique inner-city neighborhoods, and exciting cosmopolitan life. Because Melbourne’s natural beauty is so breathtaking by day, it’s impossible to imagine the city could be as stunning at night – but night tours in Melbourne with City Unscripted might just surprise you. In fact, sunset signals the start of the real fun when the city’s iconic inner grid – crisscrossing lanes plastered with street art and lined with arcades and cool cafés – wakes up. On Melbourne night tours with a local guide, why not get a glimpse into the locals-only nightlife scene?

A CBD that wakes up at sunset

The Melbourne CBD is anything but average. From vibrant vintage stores and quirky galleries to an entire lane dedicated to iconic Aussie rock band AC/DC, Melbourne’s inner grid is a maze of must-see entertainment. On night tours in Melbourne, you could spend hours exploring the graffiti-lined streets in the heart of the city and not even scratch the surface. Whether you want to spend a night listening to live music, trawling late-night shops, dancing till dawn, or sipping a craft beer at a hole-in-the-wall loved by your local guide, the CBD is the place to be on Melbourne night tours.

Live it up like a local

Anyone with a guidebook can explore the must-sees, but on Melbourne night tours with City Unscripted, you’ll get a backstage pass into the locals-only side of the nightlife scene. A local guide can help you bypass the tourist traps and instead explore the secret hotspots, hidden gems and quirky neighborhoods that have become local nightlife institutions. You could hop around late-night hubs like hipster Fitzroy deep in the city or South Wharf along the twinkling waterfront, or perhaps you’ll explore the alternative, indie scene on Melbourne night tours just outside super-cool Collingwood.

Something for everyone

Melbourne nightlife has a bit of everything, and Melbourne night tours can go many different ways. Maybe you’ll spend a night at a speaker-shaking nightclub or sample Aussie wines and local craft brews at the endless supply of pubs, bars, beer gardens, speakeasies ranging from the simple to the swanky. But if a wild night out isn’t your scene, no worries, mate – there are plenty of unique things to do on Melbourne night tours. Hit a karaoke room, try your luck at an underground video game arcade, or taste local late-night bites (jaffle, anyone?) between exploring after-dark attractions.
