Here’s what to do when you visit the thriving Victorian port city of Geelong.

Lying just south-west of Melbourne, Victoria’s second largest city acts as the gateway to the Great Ocean Road as well as the rolling vineyards and seaside pursuits of the Bellarine Peninsula.

But it’s also a thriving destination in its own right, with public art that celebrates its rich history, great coffee to be enjoyed beachside and cultural hubs in reinvented industrial spaces. Here’s what to add to your agenda.
