Why it's worth checking out
Melbourne's GPO sits on Bourke Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. A magnificent historic building — the city's grand former General Post Office — it's now a much-loved retail-and-dining destination, combining stunning heritage architecture with shops, dining and a characterful atmosphere right in the centre of the city.
The appeal is that combination of beautiful heritage architecture and quality shopping and dining: the grand, historic GPO building, with its gorgeous detailing, now home to shops, eateries and a lovely atmosphere, makes for a distinctive spot to shop, grab a bite or simply admire the architecture. Its blend of history and lifestyle in such a landmark setting gives it real character in the heart of the city.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 2,500 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The retailers, dining, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details if you're after something specific — though for some shopping, a bite or simply to admire one of Melbourne's grand heritage buildings, you can simply head to Melbourne's GPO on Bourke Street.
