Melbourne Town Hall Tours
Take a free guided tour of Melbourne's historic Melbourne Town Hall, one of the city's most iconic buildings and the site of many of Melbourne's proudest moments.
Learn about the building's unique history as you visit the Grand Council Chambers and stand in rooms once visited by royalty. You’ll even get to stand on the Portico Balcony where the Beatles stood in 1964, waving to thousands of screaming fans below.
The new Town Hall Commons holds a focus on a collection of contemporary work by Aboriginal artists, which gives an Aboriginal voice to the fresh and democratic meeting place for Melbourne.
