10 days in Melbourne Itinerary

The state of Victoria crown jewel, Melbourne boasts shaded streets, leafy residential neighborhoods, vibrant street life, and a picturesque city center.

Step off the beaten path and head to St Paul's Cathedral and ArtVo. Your inner history buff will appreciate William Ricketts Sanctuary and Parliament House of Victoria. Get out of town with these interesting Melbourne side-trips: Cape Schanck Lighthouse (in Cape Schanck), Uniting Church (in Arawata) and Panorama Garden Estate (in Boneo). There's much more to do: explore the galleries of Coal Creek Community Park and Museum, brush up on your military savvy at RAAF Museum, see the interesting displays at Australian Sports Museum, and look for all kinds of wild species at St Kilda Pier.
