Lonely Planet review

Seats and stages at these big-event stadiums morph to suit singers, cyclists and circuses - accommodating tens of thousands of fans between them. Melbourne Park comprises Vodafone Arena, the multipurpose venue with a retractable roof, and Rod Laver Arena, home to the Australian Open in January.

Daily tours of the Rod Laver Arena (adult/child/family around A$13 /around A$6 /27) take you to the dressing rooms, VIP areas and Superboxes, but only when they're unoccupied, so there's no chance of snaffling a signature from a rock god or guzzling free champagne with the Very Important People. Olympic Park includes Olympic Stadium, hosting athletics, rugby and soccer, and the Glasshouse, home to the Collingwood Football Club and Victorian Institute of Sport.
