Melbourne’s Top Attractions

Culture is a big draw for Melbourne. Art lovers and foodies will find plenty of things to do, try, and love. Furthermore, one of Melbourne’s biggest claims to fame is sports. Melbourne’s destinations are the places to watch iconic sporting events. Here you’ll be able to find the Melbourne Cup horse race, catch a game of Australian Rules football, visit the Melbourne Cricket Ground, flock to the Australian Open if you’re a tennis fan, or Formula One enthusiasts can watch the much anticipated Australian Grand Prix.

 

You’ll never run out of sights to see in Melbourne, but here are some of Melbourne’s top attractions you should add to your travel agenda.

The Botanical Gardens

Melbourne’s Royal Botanical Gardens are famous worldwide. Spreading from Melbourne into Cranbourne, the gardens lie south of the Yarra River and are only two kilometres away from the CBD. The gardens are home to many plant species from around the world, including many rare specimens. They are truly one of the top sights to see in Melbourne.

 

The gardens host an array of events year-round including an outdoor cinema experience and provide many tranquil spots to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. No matter what time of year you visit, the gardens are full of beautiful sights and are one of the best Melbourne destinations to visit for free.

 

National Gallery of Victoria

The National Gallery of Victoria is the oldest public art gallery in Australia and is also the most visited. The international collection features works from Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Oceanic region over two locations.

 

The gallery features many buildings, such as The Great Hall, where visitors are encouraged to lie on the floor to admire the stained-glass ceiling above. Furthermore, there is always something new and exciting to see at the gallery with more than 40 exhibitions per year and best of all; it’s free to visit.

 

Melbourne’s Arcades and Laneways

One of the most popular things to do in Melbourne is to wander the many laneways and arcades. Head to the area of Flinders, Collins, and Bourke Streets to discover the best the lanes have to offer.

 

The lanes offer many options, from high-end shopping to quaint antique shops. The Block Arcade is a great place to visit with its mosaic floor, period details and an array of boutique shops. Furthermore, cosy cafés dot the streets for you to hide away in and people watch, and Queen Victoria Market is not far away.
