9 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.

Get some cultural insight at National Gallery of Victoria and Art Gallery of Ballarat. Visiting Eastern Beach Reserve and Ballarat Wildlife Park will get you outdoors. Venture out of the city with trips to Brighton Beach (in Brighton), McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park (in Langwarrin) and Phillip Island Wildlife Park (in Cowes). And it doesn't end there: walk around Coal Creek Community Park and Museum, take in the spiritual surroundings of St Paul's Cathedral, admire the natural beauty at Panorama Garden Estate, and examine the collection at Melbourne Museum.
