Reviews
nA peaceful gem in the middle of the city!nnWe really enjoyed exploring the State Library Victoria — such a calm and beautiful space right in the heart of the city! The architecture is stunning, and the building itself feels grand yet welcoming. It’s one of those places where you can take things slow, wander around, and just soak in the atmosphere.nnOne thing I loved was the open outdoor space just in front of the library — there were people relaxing all around the benches, playing giant chess with those oversized pieces, and flocks of birds just walking around freely. It gave the place such a chill, lively vibe even before stepping indoors. Definitely makes you pause and enjoy the moment.nnInside, it’s peaceful and cool literally and figuratively. There are areas you can explore quietly, and the design of the reading rooms is impressive — even if you’re not studying or reading, it’s nice to just sit and appreciate the calm energy. The whole place is super clean and well-maintained too.nnWe didn’t plan to stay long but ended up spending more time than expected. If you’re in Melbourne CBD and want somewhere to rest your feet, enjoy a bit of quiet, or snap a few pretty photos, this is a lovely spot to pop into. Bonus: it’s free!
For an enriching experience in Melbourne, visit the magnificent State Library Victoria. This architecturally stunning building houses millions of books, providing a quiet haven for readers and researchers alike. What's even better? Access is completely free! Just remember to maintain a hushed environment, as many people are deeply immersed in their studies and reading.
The State Library is a fantastic place to visit. Free to get in and so much more than just books. Lots of free exhibitions and special events. The art collection is stunning and tells the history of Victoria. Highly recommend. Also a great place to relax, study or read a book.
When I visited Melbourne,nI came to the library with some friends.nnIt’s very spacious and functions as a tourist attraction,nbut there were also many people actually using it as a library nnThe square you often seenin photos appears as you walk furthernin from the entrance.nnSince it’s such a large-scale library,nI definitely recommend visitingnif you’re in Melbourne!nnIt’s free to enter,nso it’s also a great spotnfor those who just want to take a few photos
Took a quick tour of the State Library Victoria — a stunning place! While weekends can get a bit crowded, the incredible architecture and design make it well worth the visit. If you’re after a quieter experience, a weekday trip is your best bet. Still, we had a great time soaking in the beauty and history of this iconic landmark.
