Is 3 days enough to tour Melbourne? |
Travel Info I'm planning to head down to Melbourne for around 5 days? so that mean that i've got 3 days on land and the rest would be travelling to and back from Melbourne. Someone please advise me thanks!! Travel Tips I think 3 months wouldn't be enough time to see Melbourne - but here are some suggestions to what you can do - ***Werribee Zoo (most of it is a 1 hour trip on a bus through a "safari") The end of June is usually pretty wet so at least you are safe in a bus. ***A footy game at the MCG or Telestra Dome, depends of you already follow AFL - if not try and get to a Collingwood or Essendon match, they usually have the biggest crowds so you will get more atmosphere. ***Look around Crown and have dinner there one night - then have stage shows there so you could always do that, or there is bowling, cinemas, bars ect, so you could just hang out and have a good time ***Day trip to Great Ocean Road, I would suggest take two days, so drive out stay down there for a night and drive back. Because it's June you won't be able to swim or anything but it's a beautiful drive ***Aquirium in Melbourne, it will only take a few hours but i enjoy going in and having a look around ***Day trip to the Dandenongs, it's a lovely drive out, if you leave Melbourne about 9.30am have a drive and look around, find somewhere to have lunch - make sure you go to Sky High, and you would be back in the city by dinnertime. You can always stay in the Dandenongs the night, but it's only a hours drive from Melbourne so the choice is yours ***Daytrip to Ballarat to the Gold Mines. I would almost suggest staying in Ballarat the night, so you can travel out to Ballarat in the morning, go to Sovingren Hill for the day, have dinner and stay in Ballarat the night, then the next day head out to Bendigo for a day trip before heading back into Melbourne. ** You could spend a few days just exploring Melbourne - jumping on trams and seeing where you end up. If you are into shopping then Smith Street Collingwood and Bridge Road Richmond are good for bargin shopping. ** Dinner in St Kilda, I love either Circa or gee, can't remember the name of the other restaurant, but it's down near St Kilda Marina, beautiful views of the bay. ** If you like wines then it may be worth booking yourself onto a winery tour in the Yarra Valley - you get to see the beautiful Yarra Valley and taste and purchase wines, plus usually there is dinner as well. Others It depends on what u are into. If you want to do the 'tourist thing'- like visit lots of places. You should stay 3-5 days. If you are not really into the tourist thing, and dont want to travel out of the city much (like to Morn Pen, Great Ocean Rd, Ballarat etc.) Then i guess, 3 days is plenty. there is heaps to do in melbourne, it all depends on what you want to see and where you are coming from. there is often a lot to see on the way to melbourne as well as in melbourne. in melbourne there is Federation square, MCG, Melb museum, Melb aquarium, Telstra dome, Botanic gardens, Burke street mall, state library, Docklands, parliament house. might i suggest that you leave the car somewhere and catch the tram or train to the city and aroud. you can then catch the free City Circle tram that takes you all around the city, you can get on and off where you want and see a large range of attractions, many free also. Hope this helps, and enjoy melbourne http://www.thatsmelbourne.com.au... Yeah its ok but you would be very rushed.... my advice would be to try stay a few days longer.... there is heaps to see and do in Melbourne and the nightlife is great. shop shop shop i would suggest you travel down to geelong around 1 hour from melbourne to visit our beach front it is great good eating places |
