As one of the most bustling cities in the world, Melbourne has many astounding attractions to choose from. Most of the city’s more well-known attractions are within walking distance of one another (thank goodness). Start out in
Federation Square, home to Melbourne’s many infamous museums. Among the many is the
Australian Centre for the Moving Image and the
National Gallery of Victoria, which has an astounding collection of art from around the world. If you get a little winded walking between sights, take a ride on the
City Circle Tram, which goes all around Downtown Melbourne and is completely free. If you’re a fan of performing arts, don’t miss
The Arts Centre which houses Melbourne’s Theatre Company. On Sundays, the
Arts Centre Sunday Market lines the entire walkway down to the river’s edge, and sells local Australian arts and crafts. This local showcase of Australian talent is a great place to pick up souvenirs to remind you of your adventures in Melbourne.
After you’ve finished taking in the art of Melbourne, head to the
Royal Botanical Gardens. This hub in Melbourne is one of the most beautiful conservatories in the city, and shouldn’t be missed while enjoying the beautiful Australian summer. After enjoying the outdoors, check out the
Melbourne Museum, one of the most infamous history museums in the country.
