Fed Square

Why go

The square works best as an orientation stop rather than a destination to complete. Its angular buildings frame views of Flinders Street Station and St Paul’s Cathedral, while the broad steps, public art and changing events reveal how Melbourne uses civic space. It also places several major galleries and river walks within easy reach.

What to look for

• Compare the sandstone, glass and zinc forms around the main plaza.
• Use the steps to read the relationship between the station, cathedral and Yarra.

Useful to know

• Check the event program because large gatherings can change how the square feels.
• Continue to the Yarra or NGV rather than allocating a long standalone visit.
