Best places to visit in Melbourne

When tripping around the charming city of Melbourne, you are bound to encounter a delightful array of sights, sounds, and experiences. This cultural capital of Australia is teeming with vibrant street art, sprawling gardens, noteworthy architecture, and an unfaltering commitment to the most refined forms of coffee. As you prepare to explore this cosmopolitan city, let's highlight some unmissable stops that should feature on every traveller's itinerary.

First on everyone's list is the iconic Federation Square. Situated in the heart of Melbourne, this modern piazza has become the city's cultural cornerstone. With an ensemble of art galleries, including the renowned ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) and the Ian Potter Centre, Fed Square is where art and public life intersect beautifully. Don't forget to pack your camera; the distinctly deconstructivist architecture makes for perfect photo ops!

If you're a nature lover, the Royal Botanic Gardens beckon. Spread over 38 hectares and home to over 8,500 plant species, stroll through the lush landscapes and find a serene spot by the ornamental lake. Put on your walking shoes and follow the Aboriginal Heritage Walk for an insightful look at indigenous culture Wikipedia.

For a taste of Melbourne's historic charm, one cannot miss taking a walk through the Queen Victoria Market. A lively and bustling hub, here you can find fresh produce, gourmet foods, and unique souvenirs. A tip to remember: the market is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Art aficionados will revel in the collections housed within the Art Gallery of Victoria. Australia's oldest, largest and most visited art museum offers a rich tapestry of international and local artwork, spanning numerous art periods and styles.

For a unique view of the city, voyage up 88 floors to the Eureka Skydeck. The Skydeck offers a bird's eye view of Melbourne's impressive skyline, and for the brave, The Edge - a glass cube that projects 3 metres out from the building for a thrilling experience!

When exploring the seaside, make your way to St. Kilda Beach. Relax on the sandy shores, enjoy the local eateries or take a ride on the historic Luna Park roller coaster for some nostalgic fun. St Kilda is also known for its bustling nightlife and live music venues, a testament to Melbourne's reputation as a musical hotbed.

Taking the Melbourne Laneways tour was an eye-opener to the city's vibrant street art scene. The guide's storytelling brought the alleyways to life, and the small group size allowed for a personal touch. I highly recommend this for urban explorers and art enthusiasts.
