Why it's worth checking out
Waterfront City sits on Docklands Drive at Docklands, on the western edge of Melbourne's CBD. A popular waterfront precinct, it's a lively destination by the harbour — combining shopping, dining, entertainment and a lovely waterside setting, the kind of all-in-one spot that's great for a browse, a bite or a relaxed day out by the water.
The appeal is that combination of shopping, dining and entertainment and a great waterfront Docklands location, ideal for a wander, a meal, some retail or a relaxed day out, with the harbour, the precinct's attractions and the city close by. Its mix of shops, eateries and waterside atmosphere makes it a pleasant, all-in-one destination for locals and visitors alike.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 690 reviews, it's clearly a well-liked part of the precinct. The shops, dining, entertainment, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details if you're after something specific — though for a browse, a bite or a relaxed wander by the water, you can simply head to Waterfront City at Docklands.
