Weekends are precious — that's why we've curated a special selection of the best things to do in Melbourne from Friday through to Sunday. We want to make sure no one spends their days off doing something dull or unnecessarily expensive.

Luckily, Melbourne's got plenty happening for those looking to have a damn good time. Those seeking to fill their weekend with food can hit up Free to Feed's Summer Feasts, tackle the all-you-can-eat charcoal chicken challenge at Henrietta or score unlimited wine and snacks while swimming at W Melbourne's WET on Sunday afternoons.

Culture vultures are also spoilt for choice. Catch some blockbuster films at the Moonlight Cinema and Mov'In Bed Beach Cineam, or visit exhibitions like Yayoi Kusama and Cats & Dogs at the NGV, Honk! Untitled Goose Exhibition at ACMI, and SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed at Science Gallery Melbourne.

And if you'd prefer something a bit more low-key, you can always sift through our guides to the city's best bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes, bottomless brunches, late-night diners and cheap eats. The list of things to do in Melbourne this weekend is almost endless, so read on to figure out how you'll be spending the next few days.
