Magnificent Melbourne - the Crown Jewel of Victoria, Australia.
This charming “down under” city is the perfect setting for the Australian Open - a finely blended mixture of a multi-ethnic modern metropolis with the pristine appeal of Europe. The ultra-contemporary National Tennis Centre which has won numerous international design awards is nestled within beautiful Melbourne Park, overlooking a majestic skyline, the famed trams that transverse the municipality and the beautiful Yarra River that snakes its way through Melbourne.

The only Grand Slam tournament to feature a state-of-the-art convertible rooftop on Stadium Court, the Australian Open offers visitors the thrill of attending one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world, with the advantage of providing the warmest and most informal venues of all the Grand Slams.
