The cultural capital of
Australia,
Melbourne, is the hub of diverse people (Greeks, Sri Lankans, Indians, etc.), Victorian-inspired architecture, extensive museums and amazing art galleries. The city also hosts trendy neighbourhoods, chic shopping malls and world-class Melbourne hotels. Enter the city via Melbourne International Airport or Avalon Airport and get ready to drown in the multicultural ambiance of Melbourne.
Hit the City Centre and dive into the world of shopping, cafés, museums and skyscrapers. For a panoramic 360° view of
Melbourne, visit Eureka Tower. Adventure lovers can even try out The Edge and know how it feels to be hanging suspended 88 floors above the ground. If the next activity on your list is shopping, the vast Queen Victoria Market is where shopaholics go. The market has countless stalls selling items which include antiques, clothes, souvenirs, and even food. Meanwhile, Docklands and Bourke Street Mall are for those who are looking for designer brands and fine-dining restaurants.
Yet, the attractions do not end at the city centre. Melbourne invites guests to set foot on its interesting suburbs. Easily accessible by tram, Carlton, St. Kilda and Fitzroy offer a wide-array of attractions and
Melbourne hotels which suit all types of travelers.
Immerse yourself in the rich Italian heritage of Carlton and get some lessons on history at the Melbourne museums. For cafés offering a scenic view of the beach or if it’s a beach escapade you’re looking for, St. Kilda is the answer. St. Kilda, along with Fitzroy, is famous for its nightlife scenes with their bars and dance clubs.
Some of
Melbourne’s famous landmarks are located in Yarra area. The 86-acre Royal Botanical Garden has been the home of over 50, 000 plants including century-old elm trees. Just near the Yarra River is the Federation Square, famous for its eccentric architecture and layout. On the square stands art galleries, cafés, amphitheatre, etc. Lastly, also on Yarra, is the Crowne Casino & Entertainment Complex. Drown yourself in a seemingly endless world of fun by playing in the casinos, dining in the restaurants, buying a drink at the bars, etc.
Of course, do not forget to visit Philip Island and watch the Penguin Parade. It’s the perfect activity to cap off your day!
Melbourne is not just a melting pot of cultures but also of various activities.
