Melbourne Central

Melbourne Central is a large shopping, dining, and entertainment destination with more than 300 retailers over five levels, including a cinema complex. It is home to a wide range of Australian and international brands including Sephora, Nike, Country Road, KitKat Chocolatory, Mecca Maxima, and Hoyts cinemas.

A famous feature is the giant gold pocket watch hanging in Shot Tower Square. Every hour on the hour, a secret compartment drops down from inside, revealing two marionettes and Australian galahs and cockatoos performing a rendition of 'Waltzing Matilda'.

The five-star-rated parents' retreat offers a sanctuary for families, while The Little Library free book exchange provide space to pause and escape from the city's frenetic buzz.

The complex sits above the Melbourne Central train station which is a part of the City Loop underground railway.
