AlexAugust 7, 2014Good: location, proximity; free wifi; big TVs (for key events, NYE, fireworks, White Night, etc.); many events here & ACMI… Ideal CBD meeting place; hard to miss, easy to get to via public transport!Upvoted Mar 20
TingWei TeohApril 12, 2015Place you have to visit once you reach Melbourne. It's a mixed-use development in the inner city of Melbourne.#federationsquare #specialbroadcastingservice #weekend #niceweather #tingweiproductions
Chloe TiaraJune 7, 2016You can pretty much do anything here what with the facilities made available. Really, just sitting here while sipping on a cup of coffee can really make your day.
Bee TomJanuary 22, 2015All I read here is free Wifi, but take some time and look at the ground. The most wonderful stones I have ever seen in whole Australia! Everyone is unique and they come from WA.
Giuseppe SpinaFebruary 19, 2015Grab yourself some takeaway food and sit here to soak up the Melbourne atmosphere. You'll start to appreciate this city by just watching.
TripStoryApril 24, 2012Melbourne is a great town! With many neighborhoods to visit- Fitzroy, St. Kilda, Melbourne CBD, Chinatown... Go for a long walk. Take a tram ride. Checkout an art museum. Admire the architecture.
There's free WiFi, though I don't use it. There's a massive screen that varies what's on it. There's also a few restaurants and very close to trams and other places.
Gray Line Melbourne Day ToursJune 18, 2014Visit the little funny shaped square building at the corner of Flinders & Swanston Streets, this is the Visitor Info Centre & say hi to the lovely staff there and perhaps book yourself on a day tour!
Frequently hold free art and music events here. Personal favourites include the beer and wine shows and ACMI for movies. The website has a detailed calendar for you to keep an eye on.
Good place to hang around. Things always going on here. Food, coffee and alcohol available. A big tv screen. A view of southbank :-)
Keshika RanwattaMarch 8, 2015Had so much fun at the Japanese summer festival and the moomba festival. Go down there if you are free and have a good time. Enjoy how Melbourne embrace all cultures :)
Ann WSeptember 27, 2018big open space, easy to get there, but all the cafes & restaurants are a bit overrated
Dominic PapasergioSeptember 10, 2013The wifi is next to useless if you are inside anywhere! You have to stand in the middle of the square to get any signal! It is optu$, so par for the course!
I have done numerous rock band photo shoot performing at Fed Sq. My greatest moment was the Painters & Dockers singing "The Boy Who Lost His Jocks On Flinders St Station" with the station in the back!
toniMarch 5, 2016good place to start your journey in Melbourne, there is one big information center with lovely staff & a lot of info.
InterContinental Hotels & ResortsMarch 21, 2013Walk up the magnificent St Kilda Road to Federation Square - a complex of galleries, museums, restaurants and shops constructed of glass, zinc and sandstone. Read more
Keep your eyes open in the Square - there's always some kind of amazing public art! At the moment (August-September 2012), don't miss the iceberg stereograms scattered around the place.
Electra PalmerApril 23, 2015Nice place to sit down chill with your friends!! Free wi-fi!! And many coffee shops and restaurants around!
Tracy MorganSeptember 8, 2016The visitor center was very helpful. There is also free wifi and plenty of seats if you need a rest.
John AMarch 13, 2016Love music frequently.. Great place to bring your lunch, or just grab a drink and sit and tap your toes.

Javier Delgado EstebanOctober 8, 2015Great public space, visit the Victoria galleries for a taste of aboriginal and contemporary Australian art.
Quentin LafonNovember 24, 2014Amazing place. During summer, take a deck-chair and chill with a beer.
This is the best place to spend an afternoon in Melbourne relaxing and soaking up the views.
Alison LloydJanuary 4, 2012The cobblestones are particularly good for rocking a child in a pram to sleep while you enjoy the view ( and a glass of wine!)
Travellerspoint.comApril 16, 2013Everyone meets at 'Fed Square'. Bars, restaurants, galleries, free WiFi and an event hub. See the action on the big screen or enjoy the people watching!

Iconic landmark. They have free Tai Chi on Tuesday's 730a
Going to the ACMI events is always a great choice on the weekends. Parking on the next building at flinders st is the cheapest one.
Andrew HealanSeptember 21, 2015usually people giving away stuff here. Sometimes it is even something you may want.
City of MelbourneOctober 31, 2012A great meeting spot, visitor info, cafe's, food and drink & free Wi-Fi!
Very ugly but a great place, always something going on there and free wifi!- pin leeDecember 4, 2017Another obligatory stopover 4 tourists - visit the NGV nearby. ACMI is particularly good and educational
Delwin KeasberryDecember 10, 2011If you are into people watching, plenty of opportunities for this here!
Josef HerbertFebruary 18, 2015Great public space. But a /really/ ugly building. I see what they were trying to do, but it really didn't work out
Best meeting place! Meet your friends on the steps if meeting friends in the city. Easiest place to find.
Power outlets in the Melbourne Visitor Centre building for charging devices
Nice view of Melbourne, good and free Wi-Fi but just a little crowded with kids running all over on day times!!!
