Meet people in Melbourne

New to Melbourne or coming alone?

Melbourne has plenty of public events, galleries, bars and restaurants, but meeting people is easier when the event is designed for conversation. Language exchanges, gaming socials, student events and discussion groups give people a reason to talk.

Start with a city activity during the day, then add a social event in the evening. That gives you both a way to explore Melbourne and a way to slowly build a social circle.
