Places to see
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.
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.
- Eureka 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.
