Entertainment

//"Entertainment means a lot of different things to everyone. One persons entertainment could be drab and boring to some one else." // Cinema Although sitting in front of an enormous screen doesn’t appeal to everyone, cinema is a form of entertainment that crosses all language, cultural and age barriers. Cinema is one of the most celebrated forms of entertainment. Festivals and award ceremonies are dedicated to film, people even make a career out of cinema. For as long as the movie runs for you can escape your life and become the character you’re watching. It’s a way to stretch your imagination and create hope in a simple form. Hoyts, Village and IMAX and various other independent cinemas can all be found in the city. There are cinemas that only show films like the greats Breakfast at Tiffanys, Some Like it Hot and the Great Gatsby. Imax shows some wonderful, current 3-D movies and documentaries whilst Village and Hoyts cinemas show the current ‘only in cinemas movies.’ Check newspapers daily or online to find an appropriate movie and session time. You never know, there might be a midnight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in an independent cinema near your hotel. Theater Melbourne is the culture capital of Australia and there is a vibrant and diverse theatre scene in Melbourne, with amazing actors. There are so many theaters in the CBD; some have been here since early last century and some are modern, contemporary theatres. All of them showcase amazing shows. Even hotels have caught on. If you’re staying at the Windsor, then defiantly select the pre theatre dinner menu available for guests and company. Make sure you book tickets before you arrive, Melbournians have a reputation for being culture connoisseurs, so it’s inevitable that theatre shows get sold out quite fast. Sport One thing that almost every Australian city embraces is sport, and Melbourne is no exception. Whether it is catching a cricket game on a hot summer day or a Friday night footy game in the rain. Try to absorb this aspect of Melbourne’s, ahem, //culture. Melbourne is a really sport orientated city, it has so many sport centres/arenas around and in the cbd to watch all your favourite sports.// Art From performing to visual, Melbourne is one artistic city. Even the walls of our buzzing CBD is colored with unique pieces of streets art. I might have overused the words culture capital, but that is what Melbourne really is. Urban culture all the way through to wine swilling, petits fours eating culture, this city has it all. Walk out side your hotel and your guaranteed to find a street performer or poster for an up and coming art exhibition at the NGV or a promotional post card for the Arts Center. You must try to experience our rich art scene during your stay.
