The weekend

A Grand Prix in the middle of a city

Albert Park is parkland racing in the heart of Melbourne: the lake, the trees and the city skyline behind the grandstands. It is fast, it is close to the walls, and it comes early in the season, so the paddock arrives full of optimism and new cars. The circuit is a tram ride from the laneways. Melbourne treats the race the way it treats all sport, as the only thing worth talking about that week.

That makes it the easiest Grand Prix in the world to turn into a holiday. The rooftop bars and restaurants of the city centre are minutes away, St Kilda beach is next door, and the Great Ocean Road and the Yarra Valley wineries wait beyond the suburbs. We put you in the right hotel and the right seats, with an Elite host on the ground, and build whatever you want around the racing.

What it’s actually like

The cars come through the trees at full chat, the lake flashes past behind them, and the whole city seems to be leaning on the fence with you. Melbourne doesn’t host the Grand Prix. It throws it.
