What's are the best sights to see in Melbourne? |
Travel Info What's are the best sights to see in Melbourne? Travel Tips Depends what your ineterests are and what time of year. For eating out/social scene: Southbank, Lygon St Carlton, Fitzroy St St Kilda and the pier area in Port Melbourne, Brunswick St in Carlton, Docklands area, and of course heaps of bars and cafes etc in CBD. Going up the Rialto Observation Deck is a great way to see the sights. Botanic Garden especially during summer there are some great outdoor events (movies, plays etc), Arts Centre, MCG and Telstra Dome if you're a sports fan. Melbourne Zoo is great, over summer the Zoo Twilights program is worth a look - food and music in the evenings at the zoo. There is also a lot going on a Federation Square over summer and the international food and wine festival coming up. If you're looking for further out of Melbourne definitely a trip down the Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island and penguins, Yarra Valley wineries and Mt Dandenong....... Some possible websites are www.thatsmelbourne.com.au www.visitmelbourne.com and www.visitvictoria.com for a start..... Hope this helps! Others zoo,lunapark,victoria markets,botanical gardens,museum,and the dandenong rangers Melourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Tennis centre, Royal Melbourne Zoo, Melbourne Museum, Royal Botanic Gardens, South Bank, Crown Casino, Docklands, Albert Park, St Kilda beach, Melbourne Central, Bourke street mall, Queen Victoria market, Luna Park, Federation square, Royal melbourne Show (only in september), Melbourne in general. Jump on a free City Circle tram, that takes you all around Melbourne and tells you about what is near each stop, you can get on and off as much as you like. you knly need a met card (ticket) to get the train, tram or bus into the city. best option is to buy an all day ticket and catch the train to Flindrs street Station. that is right in the centre of everyting, and there are tram stops that go to all places right outside the station, as well as the City circle tram. The city circle tram is generally one of the older style trams that is painten a maroon /brown colour, some are still the old yellow and green style. The common public transport trams are now more white or grey, even covered in advertising. the old trams are more rounded and only a single carrage, the new ones have more corners and are often a double carrage tram. if you want to go just outside melbourne, there is also: Werribee open range zoo, Science works, Williamstown, Great ocean road, Phillip island, yarra valley, Bendigo, Ballarat > Goldfields region Check out these sites: www.thatsmelbourne.com.au www.visitvictoria.com.au www.thatsmelbourne.com.au www.visitvictoria.com.au - MCG, if you can get to a cricket or football game, fantastic - Jump on a tram, just for the hell of it - Southbank at night, with the gas thingys in front of the casino - Bargin shopping in Smith St, Collingwood and Bridge Rd, Richmond - Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Santary or Werribee Open Range Zoo (my pick would be Werribee) - The Aquarium in Melbourne - Botantical Gardens, and the Yarra River, hire some bikes and go for a picnic. - Rialto Tower, a great view of Melbourne from the viewing decks - St Kilda Beach and Luna Park in St Kilda ****Places outta Melbourne - Dandenong Ranges, really pretty and lovely, great for lunch, Sky High Restaurant is beautiful - Soveregn Hill, all about goldminding, but a great day out, lots of activities to do there - Great Ocean Road, lovely drive, lots of nice places to stop off at - Phillip Island, penguine parade, worth the drive FOOTSCRAY I highly recommend going on a day trip to sovereign hill and maybe going to the top of the Eureka tower, the tallest resedential building in the world. All the others have pretty much covered the rest of the sights |
