6 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.

St Paul's Cathedral and Australian Sports Museum are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Bring the kids along to Eastern Beach Reserve and Melbourne Zoo. Venture out of the city with trips to Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail (in Lilydale), William Ricketts Sanctuary (in Mount Dandenong) and Brighton Beach (in Brighton). And it doesn't end there: explore the striking landscape of Dandenong Ranges National Park, indulge in some culinary diversions at a local gastronomic tour, see the interesting displays at Melbourne Museum, and identify plant and animal life at Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park.
