13 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 St Paul's Cathedral and Split Point Lighthouse. Take a break from the city and head to Dandenong Ranges National Park and Phillip Island Wildlife Park. Change things up with these side-trips from Melbourne: Ballarat (Lake Wendouree, St Patrick's Cathedral, &more), Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park (in Pearcedale) and Bells Beach (in Torquay). Spend the 24th (Tue) exploring nature at Point Nepean National Park. Spend the 22nd (Sun) on a tasty journey with a beer tour and tasting. And it doesn't end there: contemplate the long history of William Ricketts Sanctuary, take an in-depth tour of Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, enjoy the sand and surf at Eastern Beach Reserve, and admire the natural beauty at Rippon Lea Estate.
