Which places would you like to visit in Melbourne? 😍 Let's get this video to 1000 Likes guys!! Then, we'll make a new video on 'Things to do in Sydney'.
I’m Melbourne born and have lived here most of my life. Here are my recommendations to supplement for a lot of what was missed, and some clarifying information. 1. The city circle tram runs every 30 mins per direction, it takes 30 mins to complete. The city’s CBD includes a free tram zone. 2. Melbourne museum is part of the larger group of Museums Victoria including Scienceworks (Spotswood) and the Immigration Museum (on Flinders St). 3. If you prefer musicals and popular theatre, Princess, Her majesty’s and the Regent theatres host shows such as Wicked, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, Grease etc (currently in early 2024). If you prefer operas, symphonies and contemporary theatre, the State, Southbank and Playhouse theatres, Hammer hall and the Sidney Myer Music bowl are good for that. 4. The Eureka tower was well covered. 5. The MCG offers tours as well as contains the National Sports Museum. It’s popular for Footy (AFL) and Cricket. AAMI Park, the Olympic park, Rod Laver and Margaret Court are popular for soccer, NFL and the Australian Open. 6. I wouldn’t consider Southbank and South wharf to be cultural centres, they’re good for high end shopping at Crown, cheap shopping at DFO, and high end restaurants such as Nobu. 6B. For Culture, go to Fitzroy, Brunswick and Collingwood, as well as Prahran and South Yarra. Great night clubs along Smith and Chapel Streets, and Smith, Chapel, Brunswick and Rose streets, as well as Sydney road are good for fashion, culture, food and markets (Fitzroy weekend Markets). I’d liken the inner north to be similar to Hackney London or Bushwick NY. 7. The Block and Royal arcades have beautiful architecture, whilst Degraves street, Flinders Lane and Hozier lanes have great cafe culture and art. These places are great to visit when you first arrive. I’d recommend Colin’s street if you’re into high end fashion; literally every single luxury brand you could think of. 8. Fed square is ok, but there’s not much other than the Australian branch of the NGV, ACMI, and a few restaurants. 9. The NGV always has really amazing art, and often has seasonal tours of various artists works. Eg. Picasso, or various internationally renowned gallery tours. LUME is an interactive art exhibit in South Wharf, as well as Artvo in the Docklands if you prefer interactive art. 10. The Royal Botanical Gardens are fantastic for picnics and a stroll around. If you’re staying in South Yarra, you can jog along the Yarra on the Tan. Other fantastic leafy gardens include Fitzroy, Treasury, and Flagstaff Gardens. If you like other peaceful places, St Paul’s Cathedral is often open to the public; really beautiful mosaics and stained glass windows. The State Library of Victoria is also a very beautiful and grand building. Ask the staff where the Dome, Redmond Barry, and Ian Potter Queens Rooms are as they are very ornate grand spaces. What they missed: 11. Chinatown along Little Bourke Street, Koreatown along Healeys Lane, Little Italy on Lygon Street, and the Greek Quarter on Lonsdale Street (though Oakleigh has much better Greek food and is accessible by taking the Metro towards Pakenham/Cranbourne.) all of these places have really outstanding food, including Thai, Cambodian, Filipino, and Malay/Singaporean food as well. 12. Queen Victoria Market is the largest open air market in the southern hemisphere, lots of clothes and good food in charming victorian era buildings and sheds, it’s also the location of Winter Night Markets. Other markets include South Melbourne markets accessible by the 96 Tram, Camberwell Sunday and Fitzroy Markets for great vintage clothes, as well as Prahran, Footscray, Preston for general shopping. 13. Melbourne Zoo is a great place to experience some wildlife close to the city (along the 58 tram or at Royal Park station on the Upfield line). Werribee Open Range for safari style wildlife, and Healesville Sanctuary are also part of the Zoos Victoria group. 14. St Kilda is great for night life. There tends to be a lot of backpackers in this area its most likened to Sydney’s Bondi or LA’s Venice Beach. Luna Park is an old amusement park from 1912, with great views of the city from the rides. Acland street is famous for its confectioneries, and the beachfront has high end dining, as well as party culture. St kilda can be accessed by the 96, 16, 12, and 3A trams. 15. For a bit of a drive, the Great Ocean Road has famous land and rock formations along the coast, as well as world famous surf beaches. The GOR has an overwhelming feeling of ‘Australiana’, although Sydney probably does this better. A bit closer of a drive is the Dandenong Ranges; very quaint, beautiful forestry, and great walking tracks. 16. For shopping centres, Melbourne Central and Emporium are your regular run of the mill Malls, whilst Chadstone Shopping Centre is quite nice. Chaddy has a Legoland exhibition, and Melb Central has a life sized playable Monopoly Game. Really take your time to soak up Melbourne. It has a richer cultural atmosphere than Sydney, and is renowned for art, music, and sports. For beach culture, I would still place Sydney at a higher tier, so don’t come to Melbourne expecting world class beaches. I’d recommend you get a Myki Card to get around so you can access trams and trains outside the free tram zone, and in 2025 you will be able to use your phone and card to pay at the gate. Enjoy.
When you were told they play football at the MCG, you didn't check what is regarded as football in Australia. Australian Rules football is played at the MCG. Soccer is not.
Some good stuff in here, but showing blue trams from somewhere else, and showing soccer instead of Australian Rules Football when talking about football is weird.
Many of the images of the images of the Royal Botanical Gardens were not of the Royal Botanical Gardens. The Cranbourne Royal Botanical gardens are 43km away from the Royal Botanical Gardens Melbourne.

my dream to visit Melbourne Australia one day. One of best modern cities in world. Hope i can visit it one day.
Do it one day, I live here. It's not perfect but it's a dam sight better than Sydney. Sydney is a dump. Totally fake. Cheers 👍
Don’t get your hopes too high, no city in Australia cuts it as one of the best modern cities in the world, from a tourist perspective any way.
Melbourne isn't as good as Sydney, so keep your expectations a bit low!

Fuck me, Melbourne might not be the most interesting city in the world, but it’s not that dull.
Many of the images of the images of the Royal Botanical Gardens were not of the Royal Botanical Gardens. The Cranbourne Royal Botanical gardens are 43km away from the Royal Botanical Gardens Melbourne.
It is called Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. It has TWO sites. One in Melbourne and one in Cranbourne. The guy is quite correct.
The top thing to do in Melbourne is leave and don't look back 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
