Experience details
Racing Around the Lake
The Albert Park Circuit is a temporary track laid across the public roads that surround Albert Park Lake, a park used daily by Melbourne residents outside race weekend. The lakeside setting, with the Melbourne CBD skyline visible across the water from several grandstands, gives Albert Park one of the most distinctive visual identities on the Formula 1® calendar.
Melbourne's Food and Coffee Culture at the Circuit
Melbourne is consistently ranked among the world's top cities for food and hospitality, and the FORMULA 1 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX reflects that. The circuit's catering areas are shaped by the city's café culture, diverse restaurant scene and quality of produce. Beyond the circuit, the neighbourhoods of St Kilda, South Yarra and the CBD are within easy reach and offer some of Australia's finest dining and bar options for fans building a wider Melbourne trip around the race.
Australia's Great Motorsport Weekend
The FORMULA 1 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX draws over 480,000 fans across four days, creating a complete motorsport festival unique on the international calendar. The home crowd brings a particular energy: Melbourne is one of the world's most sports-passionate cities, and the scale of the event makes it one of the loudest weekends on the calendar.
In the City, Not Outside It
Albert Park is 5 km from Melbourne's CBD and is directly accessible by tram from the city centre. Melbourne's tram network connects most hotels and central areas to stops adjacent to the circuit gates. Race-weekend transport options include trams, taxis and rideshare services. There is no need for a dedicated shuttle — the circuit is an extension of the city itself.
