Lovely old building that hosts lots of cultural and comedy events, especially during Melbourne's comedy festival. Ceiling in the main hall is spectacular, especially when lit up....but seating not super comfortable.

Very ornate building with lots of history! My partner and I did a town hall tour and it was wonderful (and free!)! Make sure you have ID since they do check and you have to go through a metal detector. The building is very well-kept and clean and there is so much history to learn! Our guide was an older gentlemen who was sweet and informative. We even got to meet the lord mayor of Melbourne, Sally Capp! Overall, the tour was an hour long and we explored lots of different places and artifacts. Definitely worth checking out!

Such a beautiful old building! Can hire rooms for functions, been here for a 40th that was on the balcony so we could look out to everything happening on Swanston Street. Felt like a Beatle! Also been here for Comedy Festival performances held in the main hall and an upstairs room. Flower display outside always beautiful and Xmas decorations and lights also always lovely. Worth having a look if haven't. 20.8 as part of tour opposite could look down on Town Hall and also has great view of clock. Beautiful flowers as always on display. 16.2.24 love the produce they're growing, looks great and great initiative.

Exceptional heritage building and maintained very well! This place hosts myriads of events from anything to comedy to business events to citizenship ceremony. They also do a great job outside of this building with the herb gardens and flowers etc! There are some amazing old looking at works as well when you look further in detail. Staff here are always helpful and friendly. There is also a super friendly gentleman who is in costumes to add to the experience.

Melbourne Town Hall is a great place specially during the month of December when the city council displays this historical building with some of the great lighting.
