Places to see
What are Melbourne’s must-see attractions?
Federation Square: This plaza is where the city comes together to celebrate. Here a never-ending series of events are held in the shadows of abstract architecture.
The MCG: The birthplace of AFL and test cricket, the largest stadium in the southern hemisphere, the home of the National Sports Museum; the MCG is a must for sports fans.
Melbourne Skydeck: Here you’ll find the best view in all of Melbourne, but be warned – the protruding glass cube that sits 88 floors above the ground is not for the faint-hearted.
Royal Botanic Gardens: Planted in 1846, spread across 36 hectares and awash with native flora, Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens are perhaps the most spectacular in Australia.
National Gallery of Victoria: Featuring the world’s largest stained glass ceiling, the spectacular National Gallery of Victoria plays host to an incredible roster of exhibitions.
Find the right hotel
What are the best areas to stay in Melbourne?
The CBD: The heart of the town, Melbourne’s central business district forms the ideal launching pad for anyone looking to see as many of the city’s famous sights as possible.
St Kilda: A beach retreat in a central location – the St Kilda sales pitch is a tempting one. Tranquil, historic and photogenic, it offers Melbourne visitors a relaxed stay.
Richmond: An inner-city suburb that is a sports fan’s dream (the MCG and Rod Laver Arena are right next door), Richmond’s Victoria St (aka Little Saigon) is also home to the city’s finest Vietnamese restaurants.
Fitzroy: Central, lively and alternative, Fitzroy is a little Bohemia found north of the CBD. Expect graffiti-laden walls, cool bars and often outlandish attire.
Hawthorn: Situated 6km east of the city, Hawthorn offers a local Melbourne experience. It’s a city within a city, with a real community feel.
