“With so many exciting events taking place over the next few months, (it’s) perfect for visitors looking for a memorable getaway,” Mr Myatt said.

“The visitor guide is also ideal for residents looking to explore more on their own doorstep, particularly if they are hosting family and friends during the Easter and winter school holidays.

“The guide features a fantastic range of experiences, seasonal highlights, events and festivals, and things to see and do.

“You’ll (also) find everything from history and heritage, arts and culture, food and local produce, to family-fun experiences.

“You can browse the top 10 iconic experiences in Greater Bendigo, inner-city precincts and suburbs, surrounding natural beauty, and a range of experiences and suggested itineraries to suit all interests.

“Each section has a QR code to link to more detailed information on the Bendigo Region website.”

The guide is produced by the City in partnership with Bendigo Tourism.

Locals are also encouraged to sign up for a Bendigo Ambassador Pass to receive free entry or a discount when they accompany family and friends on visits to a bunch of local attractions and experiences.
