This isn’t just a city walk. It’s your first real Melbourne experience.

This isn’t just a city walk.
It’s your first real Melbourne experience.

Get ready to see Melbourne properly.

When you join the Explore Melbourne City Tour, you’re not just walking around and ticking off landmarks. You’ll be out with La Trobe Student Leaders who’ve taken the time to learn the city’s best spots, hidden corners, iconic monuments and local stories, so they can share them with you in a way that actually feels real.

They’re not reading off a script.
They’re showing you the Melbourne they’ve come to know and love.

You’ll also be accompanied by a La Trobe staff member on every tour. It might be someone from Wellbeing, the Library, Student Advising, Graduations or another team you’ll come across during your degree.

That means you’re not only exploring the city, you’re building real connections with the people who support you at uni.

It’s relaxed, informal and a great chance to ask questions you might not feel like emailing about.

And honestly, the best part?

The people you’ll meet.

You’ll be walking alongside other new students who are in the exact same boat as you.

New country.
New campus.
New chapter.

By the end of the tour, you won’t just know where the best coffee is or how to navigate the CBD, you’ll likely have swapped Instagram handles, made a few friends and started feeling like you actually belong here.

This is your chance to:

• Discover Melbourne’s most iconic monuments and must-see spots
• Hear local insights from student leaders who’ve done the research for you
• Chat casually with La Trobe staff outside the classroom
• Meet other international students and start building your community
• See the city through the eyes of people who live it

It’s fun, social, practical and full of those small moments that make a big difference in your first few weeks.

Come explore your new city with us.
You won’t be doing it alone.
