Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)
Best time to visit
Arrive early on weekday mornings or non-event days when guided tours run quieter and access to player areas is easier. Late afternoon provides warm light for skyline photos across the oval.
Budget tips
Guided stadium tours and the National Sports Museum require paid tickets, typically under AU$35; book online in advance for the best prices and quieter tour slots. Take the train to Jolimont or nearby trams to avoid parking fees; match days require a game ticket rather than a tour pass.

About
Rýchle fakty: Thunderous crowds of over 100,000 can make the entire bowl vibrate, turning matches into communal theatre. Step inside and a museum beneath the stands reveals trophies, quirky memorabilia and vivid stories of sporting drama.
Zaujímavosti: About 100,000 fans squeeze into the bowl for the AFL Grand Final, official seating capacity is 100,024, and the synchronized roar plus thousands of stomps feel like a bass drum thudding in your chest. Back in March 1877 the ground held the first recognized Test match between Australia and England, and during summer Tests the warm smell of hot meat pies and beer rolls down the aisles as vendors weave between rows.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light layer, tours include stairs and outdoor walkways.
- Head to the upper-tier concourse for unobstructed city skyline photos over the oval.
- Book a morning non-event tour to get onto the turf and into members areas, avoid booking on match days when access is limited.
- Use Jolimont station for the shortest walk, check museum opening hours before you go to avoid disappointment.
