The F1 community loves the Australian Grand Prix! In 2023, the race attracted a crowd of more than 440,000 people with media, teams, officials, volunteers and spectators rating it as one of the best race weekends of the year.
The race takes place on a street circuit that surrounds Melbourne’s Albert Park lake and draws visitors from around the world. See more about the circuit here.
This race offers one of the best chances to meet your favourite driver/F1 personality. Where? On the Melbourne Walk, a fenced path which most drivers traverse each day. It’s located near the main paddock entrance and if you’re there between 6 and 2 hours prior to the first F1 track session on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there’s a good chance you’ll be rewarded.
If you want to stay with the team bosses and drivers, see if you can wrangle a room at the Crown Casino on the Yarra River. It’s on the track side of the city and offers plenty when it comes to food, drink and entertainment.
Many choose to take the tram to the track as parking can be tricky if it’s not included in your package. Closer to the track and on the opposite side from the city, is the cosmopolitan suburb of St Kilda. It’s home to a handful of hotels and a myriad of eateries.
Melbourne’s airport is about 30 minutes from the track and the city by car in light traffic.
Shopping in the city and suburbs is plentiful with Chappel Street, South Yarra hosting a plethora of boutiques while Chadstone Shopping Centre is one of the country’s biggest shopping malls.
The Australian GP normally runs more support events and on track activities than most grands prix so you will be spoiled for motoring entertainment over the 4 days of the event.
The track is a mere 6 kilometres from the city centre and a few hundred metres from Port Phillip Bay. There are plenty of accommodation choices in and around the city but the quality properties close to the track are often booked by the teams and F1 well ahead of the race weekend.

This is one of the easiest tracks to see most of the F1 drivers and team principals. Any ticket to the event will allow you access to the Melbourne Walk which is between the drivers’ car park and the main swipe gates. This is a popular spot for driver arrivals with fans sometimes 10-deep. You’ll need to get there when the gates open if you want a position towards the front. The closest gate to the Melbourne Walk is gate 1 on Canterbury Road but note that many fans will be in line from 5am.
