About Melbourne Tourism

Nestled along the eastern coast of Australia, Melbourne is the capital of the famous state of Victoria, which is home to many indigenous Aboriginal residents of the country.

Hence, Melbourne is also famed as a cultural and fashion capital of Australia. Other than Sydney, Melbourne is the most happening city of the country. It is so prominent in the cultural field as well as in terms of traveling, that people hold Melbourne in the same standard as that of Sydney.

Nature in Melbourne:

In spite of being one of the most urban cities of the world, Melbourne, Australia is in touch with a lot of natural bounty in and around it. In the city itself, there is a famous Melbourne Zoo and the Royal Botanic Gardens to enjoy an excursion. One is devoted to the animal kingdom and another to the plant kingdom, both of these attractions are home to more than enough species of each type. Outside the city’s immediate limit, there is Healesville Sanctuary, where one can feed the kangaroos and the koalas. There is the Werribee Open Range zoo as well, which is like a small part of Africa with its Savannah-type grasslands all around. Moving away from the wildlife, Port Phillip Bay has some mention-worthy beaches to swim like St Kilda. Port Campbell National Park and its Twelve Apostles are perhaps the greatest attractions for natural beauty near the city of Melbourne, Australia.

Unique Adventure Activities in Melbourne:

Unlike Sydney, Melbourne tourism does not have a long list of adventure activities. But it has some of the most unconventional ones. Three of them are very prominent. One is the protruding glass cube from the Eureka Skydeck on the 88th floor, which makes you feel like suspending in the air. Another is the shark diving and Oceanarium visit to the Melbourne Aquarium. The last one is skydiving. Two other very popular places are the Great Ocean Road and St Kilda Beach.

Major attractions in Melbourne:

1. Flinders Street Station

This colonial era, yellow coloured building is the oldest railway station in Australia, and till date, it ferries more than 105,000 people every weekend. It is the central station of the city and a major attraction in Melbourne, Australia. The vintage architecture lends the historic charm to the busy station.

2. Federation Square

There is nothing much to see in Federation Square on your Melbourne travel. But the cultural institutions host some event or the other every day – be it a play, a musical concert or something else. It is a great place to appreciate art and people-watching on a leisurely afternoon.

3. Queen Victoria Market

Queen Victoria Market is the main marketplace in Melbourne. From organic products and groceries to clothes, jewellery and other souvenir items, this place has it all. For one month each in winter and summer, there is a night market here which has the most eclectic blend of gourmet food you have ever seen.

4. The Docklands

The seaside promenade area has cruise boats leaving the harbour in the water. But one the land, it is lined up with numerous restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment places. The Docklands is the perfect place to spend an evening to know about Melbourne.

5. Yarra River and Cruising

Yarra River is the lifeline of Melbourne. It is around this river that the Aboriginals had built their civilization. There are many cruises which can be enjoyed on this historic river. The usual public one during the daytime is cheap and follows one route only. Private cruises at night can be rented for a more lavish experience.

Popular foods in Melbourne:

Famed for great coffee, one can hop on to some amazing cafes in Melbourne to sip a hot coffee over long chats with their loved ones. Visit to Top Paddock for Ricotta Hotcakes, Belle’s Hot Chicken for Baller Bucket, Din Tai Fung for deserts, Jinda Thai for Boat Noodles, and other famous food spots to enjoy a brunch, lunch or dinner.  

Top beaches in Melbourne:

On a tour to Melbourne, enjoying a sojourn at splendid beaches of Melbourne is must to make it even more memorable. Do visit to St. Kilda Beach, Elwood Beach, Half Moon Bay, Brighton Beach, Mothers Beach, Alton Beach and more to satiate an adventure-junkie in you while partaking in water sports, fishing and other activities.

Avina's 9 days trip to Melbourne

5 star We recently returned from an incredible trip to Australia, all thanks to the amazing team at Wanderbird Holidays! From start to finish, the planning was seamless, with every detail thoughtfully handled by Raunak and the team. We enjoyed every moment, and it was so reassuring to have their consistent support and guidance along the way. The personalised recommendations for each city by Raunak, on top of the customised itinerary made by Meenakshi, made our experience even more amazing, and knowing they were just a call away during our travels gave us complete peace of mind. This was hands-down one of our best-planned vacations, and we can’t wait to book more adventures with Wanderbird Holidays. We’ve already recommended them to our family, and we’re confident they’ll love the experience just as much as we did!
