There really is something for everyone in Melbourne, no matter what your budget or tastes are. Melbourne is known for being one of the most livable cities in the world, with a vibrant music, arts, and theatre scene.
Compared to other cities in Australia, it’s known for being really easy to get around; especially on the Melbourne tramway system. The streets are very easy to navigate.
A personal favourite thing to do in Melbourne is to visit St Kilda Pier at dusk, when the fairy penguins come in and bring smiles to everyone who sees them. The little penguins are so cute!
For shopping, I love the city laneways, especially between Flinders, Elizabeth, Bourke and Swanston Streets. Little Collins Street is also very good for relieving you of some of your cash.
Eureka Tower is a must see for anyone looking for things to do in Melbourne. It offers stunning views from the highest observation deck in the southern hemisphere, at 297 metres/88 floors.
If you’re here during the AFL (Australian Football League) season, you must check out a game. The atmosphere in the massive MCG is unlike anything else in this country.
