Melbourne is particularly recognised for its culture, arts, sports, and education. At the city's centre is the modern Federation Square development, with plazas, bars, and restaurants by the Yarra River. In the Southbank area, the Melbourne Arts Precinct is the site of Arts Centre Melbourne – a performing arts complex – and the National Gallery of Victoria, with Australian and indigenous art.
 

Melbourne's accessible and wheelchair-friendly attractions

At times, getting around in a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or pushing an infant’s pram can be a challenge. And for people with sensory disabilities, visiting public spaces can be difficult too. We've found some of the top attractions to visit with level surfaces, lifts, accessible toilets, and more.
