12 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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Old Melbourne Gaol and St Patrick's Cathedral. You'll get in some beach time at St. Kilda Beach and Eastern Beach. Step out of Melbourne to go to Werribee and see Werribee Open Range Zoo, which is approximately 32 minutes away. There's much more to do: explore the world behind art at National Gallery of Victoria, take in panoramic vistas at Eureka Skydeck 88, take in nature's colorful creations at Royal Botanic Gardens, and don't miss a visit to Shrine of Remembrance.
