Melbourne, the second-largest city in Australia, is a well-liked destination on many itineraries throughout the country, particularly for culture vultures. The main attractions of this elegant city on the Yarra River are its galleries, theatres, restaurants, and boutiques, as well as its uniquely European vibe. Almost a third of the city has parks, gardens, and other open spaces, making it a green city.
There are numerous cultural highlights in Melbourne. View a concert at Arts Centre Melbourne, peruse the masterpieces at the National Gallery of Victoria, or visit Federation Square. At the Australian Center for the Moving Image, you can look through Australian artwork and learn more about the country’s screen culture (ACMI).
Do you want to return to nature? At the Royal Botanic Gardens, take the Aboriginal Heritage Walk. If experiencing sports culture is a significant priority, attend a game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Cricket is preferred throughout the summer, while Australian Rules football is preferred during the winter.
The history of Melbourne is pervasive. The sumptuous arcades and Queen Victoria Market, which have served as a source of products for Melburnians for more than a century, may be seen as substantial Victorian architecture constructed during the Gold Rush, and you can feel it when you buy there.
