Federation Square

  • Community
  • Landmark

Federation Square is a modern piazza that has become the city centre's public square. Unveiled in 2002, Fed Square is home to cultural attractions and an array of restaurants, bars and specialty stores.

Directly opposite Flinders Street Station, the location and size of Fed Square makes it ideal for large events and it features as a venue and meeting place for many of Melbourne's festivals.

The tiered seating is handy for people watching or catching a live busking performance by talented acrobats, musicians and more. There's always something to watch on the five-storey digital LED screen, from films and art programs to live sporting events.

Since its opening, Federation Square has seen more than 100 million visits, positioning it as one of the most visited attractions for interstate and international visitors, and a beloved destination for locals.
