Places to visit in Melbourne

Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, is Australia's second largest and oldest city，located at the head of Port Phillip Bay.

Melbourne is Australia’s cultural capital, with Victorian-era architecture, extensive shopping, museums, galleries, theatres, and large parks and gardens. Its 4-million residents are both multicultural and sports-mad.

                                                                                   Reasons to visit Melbourne include to attend major sporting events, to use it as a base for exploring surrounding regions such as Grampians National Park, The Great Ocean Road, and to visit Phillip Island to view the penguin parade. 









Downtown
If you don't have a lot of time, there is a good walk to take in downtown Melbourne. Start at Flinders St. Station and find Swanston Walk, which is a pedestrian road shared with the trams. On the way you will find City Square with a statue of Burke and Wills, explorers who met a nasty end exploring the Outback. Once on Russell St. you can find the Old Melbourne Gaol and Chinatown.




Great ocean road
Experience a diverse array of things to see and do in the Great Ocean Road region from outdoor activities such as surfing, scuba diving and sea kayaking to arts, cultural and heritage attractions. Admire the stunning coastline on the Great Ocean Walk and enjoy fine dining, local winemakers and fresh produce along the way. 

Phillip Island
Explore an island where nature and wildlife abounds. Get up close to little penguins, come face-to-face with snoozing koalas and cheer on Grand Prix heroes as you savour every inch of Phillip Island, less than two hours from Melbourne.
