27 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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery and South Melbourne Market. Step out of the city life by going to Point Nepean National Park and Eastern Beach Reserve. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Melbourne: Bells Beach (in Torquay), Daylesford (The Mill Markets, Brick Lane Bazaar, &more) and Ballarat (The Amazing Mill Markets Ballarat, Art Gallery of Ballarat, &more). Spend the 7th (Fri) exploring nature at Point Addis Marine National Park. Dedicate the 31st (Fri) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's lots more to do: explore the wealth of natural beauty at Dandenong Ranges National Park, contemplate the waterfront views at Yarra River, make a trip to Collins St/Swanston St, and get curious at Australian Centre for the Moving Image.
