this is a great place to relax on a sunny day, just sit on the grass, drink a beer, read a book and enjoy all the greenness and beautiful trees around you. And its in the middle of the city! In summer they also have..

2. St Kilda Beach

(10 reviews)

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Beach itself is nice and sandy, but... Where are dressing cabins? Public toilets remind a nightmare dream or "the worst toilet in Scotland". Just few bars on a coastline. One of them allows to come in only with shoes..

3. Brunswick St

(7 reviews)

Brunswick, Victoria, Australia

Great food, funky clothing stores, interesting night-life and a relaxed cafe and coffee culture are what this street is all about.

4. Melbourne Cricket Ground

(4 reviews)

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

If you come to Melbourne, you have to see a sporting event at the MCG. Now I know every city in the world has a big stadium, many bigger than the G, but Melbourne has a very unique aspect that you will not find in any..

A must for any tourist, the drive itself is great the whole way, you can stop off at the ottways and do a tree walk, and there are a number of lookouts along the way with the 12 apostles being amazing. It is by far and..

3. Luigi's Tip on Melbourne

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

The city of shopping, the famous cuckoo clock that plays Waltzing Matilda and Mt Dandenong which makes for a nice day trip. Don't drive unless you are very brave. The trams and traffic have an uneasy set of rules. The Melbourne Tennis Center is home to the Australian Open and of course this is the home of Aussie Rules. Lots of great Greek and Italian restaurants and a thriving metropolis of cultures.

7. Jane's Tip on Melbourne

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

What can I say? The classic 'four seasons in one day' city. Talk to the ladies in the information booth in the mall, they know everything, can give you information about the buses/trams which go around the major sights in the city. ps. don't swim in the Yarra.
