Melbourne Skydeck (Eureka Tower)
Melbourne Skydeck
An observation deck on level 88 of the Eureka Tower on the South Bank, about 285 metres up. It is one of the highest public viewing levels in the Southern Hemisphere and offers 360-degree views of Melbourne.
A high-speed lift takes you to level 88 in under 40 seconds. Panoramic windows look out over the CBD, Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges. For an extra fee, you can step into The Edge, a glass box that extends out beyond the building, for a thrilling sense of hanging in mid-air. Tickets cost about AU$30–40, cheaper if bought online, and sunset sessions are the busiest. The Skydeck is on the south bank of the Yarra River and is a 10-minute walk from Flinders Street station. Combine it with a stroll along the South Bank Promenade.
