A
Rod Laver Arena
A giant, versatile space used for headline concerts and the Australian Open tennis, with a huge sunroof. Not the most atmospheric of venues, but then it’s all about the spectacle. Ditto for the nearby Hisense Arena.

Melbourne Sport Tours
Footy fiends get to touch the turf at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and smell the liniment in the change rooms on the half-day Sports Lovers Tour. But not before checking out the track at Flemington Racecourse, cruising by the Commonwealth Games Village and driving Albert Park's Grand Prix circuit - albeit in a bus.

Etihad Stadium
The 52,000-seat Etihad Stadium is the city’s alternative footy arena, with a state-of-the-art sliding roof. Other sporting and entertainment events take place here on a regular basis. Tours of the stadium are conducted on weekdays, but night and weekend tours can also be arranged.

Optus Oval
The last surviving suburban ground, Optus Oval, in Princes Park , has been Carlton's home venue and training base since the club entered the league competition in 1897. The Blues still train but no longer play here. It accommodates 35,000 fans, and is the closest suburban ground to the city.
