Australian Grand Prix

Why Melbourne Is the Perfect F1 City

Albert Park Circuit sits just 3 km from Melbourne's Central Business District — making the 2026 Australian Grand Prix one of the most uniquely explorable events on the F1 calendar. With 4+ hour evening gaps between sessions and a full day on Thursday before competitive action begins, race weekend becomes as much a city break as a motorsport event. Melbourne's laneways, beaches, bayside suburbs, and surrounding wine country are all within a 10–60 minute reach of the circuit. Over 30 curated experiences on F1 Weekend are specifically matched to your session gaps — so you never miss a lap, and you never miss Melbourne.
