Melbourne in February

Melbourne in February has gorgeous temperatures from 14°c to 27°c and bright summer days that are great for exploring the city’s artistic heritage and unique landscapes. If you love to discover hidden gems by strolling through famous, old laneways or want to see the city from above in a hot air balloon, this month is the perfect time to do it.

Art and Air Time

February in Melbourne gives you mild weather and the perfect vibe for exploring Melbourne’s famous laneways. These laneways are known as the heart and soul of Melbourne’s creative scene with their exciting mix of street art, boutique shops and hidden cafes.

A guided laneway tour will take you through the best of them. You can see stunning murals and art installations, while hearing stories about some of the city’s most iconic works located in the vibrant Hosier Lane, ACDC Lane and more.

You can also wander through the maze of narrow alleys to find some of the city’s best cafes and restaurants on a food tour. Each turn will reveal something new and unexpected, and the combo of art, culture and culinary delights will give you an unforgettable experience.

For a whole new perspective on Melbourne, why not start your day with a glorious hot air balloon ride? February’s clear skies and gentle breezes make it an ideal time for viewing the truly breathtaking vistas of the city and its surroundings. You’ll see Melbourne’s skyline, the winding Yarra River and the emerald parks and gardens stretching out below.

Melbourne’s February Festivities

Melbourne is buzzing with excitement in February! There’s the St Kilda Festival bringing some awesome music into the city and Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations filling the streets with colour and joy. The month is even better when you check out our Things To Do in Melbourne page.
