Top 10 places to see & visit in Melbourne

Voted as the most livable city numerous times, Melbourne's fantastic public transport system allows visitors and locals themselves to explore the many interesting attractions that are scattered in various locations across the city.

Melbourne CBD

A labyrinth of hidden laneways and alleys curling around modern

an entire day.  Literally hundreds of designer fashion
boutiques, lavish department stores and trendy little cafes are
scattered throughout Melbourne's sophisticated CBD.

Royal Botanic Gardens

Magnificent landscaped gardens and parklands make Melbourne one of the
greenest cities in the world and Melbourne's Royal Botanic
Gardens, described as one of the finest in the world, is no exception
to this. The Gardens, located just outside the Melbourne CBD, are home
to more than 12,000 species of plants and provide a natural sanctuary
for native wildlife.

State Library of Victoria and Old Melbourne Gaol

The State Library of Victoria is Australia's oldest library,
offering free exhibitions of items including armour belonging to the

some of Australia's most defining events including the Gold
Rush and the Eureka Stockade Rebellion.
