A breakup can shatter your heart into a million pieces. With all the dreams about your future ruined instantly, it can be difficult to think forward.
However, there’s no use brooding over the past… even if that person meant a lot to you. Instead, pack up and set out on a trip to an amazing place like Melbourne.
The city welcomed 8.5 million domestic overnight visitors in December 2022 and more than 20 million domestic tourists for day trips throughout the year.
Melbourne offers several interesting activities which can distract you from emotional pain. So, let’s know the best spots here!
Party at the Fitzroy Beer Garden
Fitzroy Beer Garden is the perfect spot to strengthen your brotherhood and vent your sorrows. You can rent an indoor or outdoor space, sip beer, and munch on exotic food.
Express your deepest thoughts to your bros, and let them console you in the funniest ways. Your group can even request the DJ play upbeat music to help you overcome this difficult time.
Lastly, take some cool pictures at the venue and post them online. This will let your ex and their friends know that you have moved on quickly!
Indulge in a day-long date on a River Cruise
It’s not easy to overcome heartbreak within a few days. However, there’s nothing wrong with distracting yourself with a companion. Immerse yourself in a day’s worth of Melbourne Romance with the boys.
You can choose an escort and enjoy a group date with the ladies, charter a cruise for a dedicated time, pop some champagne bottles, and fill your lonely heart with companions.
While you enjoy the sightseeing, don’t forget to break free from the group and sneak in romantic moments. If you want to extend the date and get a bit nasty, make sure you discuss it with the service provider. This way, you’ll know exactly how much fun you’re about to have!
Challenge your heart with something spooky
Another great way to distract your heart from the emotional pain is to experience fear. The Old Melbourne Gaol Night Tour brings you a range of spooky, spine-chilling guided tours.
Guides tell you the creepiest history of the place, which can leave you up for nights—but not thinking about your ex. Your mind will be filled with gory tales of the past.
Some less-scary tours share tales of the most unique and dangerous escapes. Another one shows you the life of prisoners, including their cells, exercise yards, and their thoughts while they waited to be executed in the 20th century.
Enjoy the Corner Hotel’s live music
The Corner Hotel (Richmond) often welcomes the greatest artists of all times from diverse genres, including indie, rock, and pop, for their live music shows. So, if you just want to let loose amidst the harmonious melodies, book tickets to one of their premier live music shows.
Known for its historical significance, the place’s architecture adds to its unique charm. While enjoying the concert, you can choose from a diverse food and beverage list.
Go for a kayaking session
An interesting way to distract yourself from the breakup is to do something adventurous, like kayaking with the group. To make it even more challenging, book a sunset kayak session. Cruise down the river waters in the evening with a guide and enjoy the night scenes of Melbourne.
Paddle together in sync while you understand that your friends have your back for life. To wrap up this ultimate experience, opt for a dinner served in the boat!
Let your inner artist out at a paint and sip
Art therapy can also heal your bleeding soul. So enroll in a paint-and-sip class with your buddies and channel your emotions into a piece of art.
Under an expert’s guidance, express your thoughts in your piece. To make this activity fun, you’ll be given a range of refreshments, including alcoholic beverages!
Catch up with your buddies between sessions and enjoy as they hype you up to let all the negativity out on the canvas!
Go on a long drive on Beach Road
Driving down the Beach Road is the perfect activity to refresh your mind. If you don’t enjoy driving, ask one of your pals to do it. Make sure to rent a convertible to bask in the sun and enjoy the fresh seaside breeze throughout the coastal drive.
Enjoy a thrill ride at Luna Park
Luna Park, established in 1912, is known for having the oldest wooden roller coaster. While the ride looks old, the safety measures are top-notch. So, book your tickets and scream your lungs out while on the ride.
It also has other amazing rides that can pump your adrenaline, so don’t forget to check those out!
Conclusion
With these great activities, you’ll free yourself from the constant anxiety and hurt from the parting. So, call up the boys and start planning!
