  • Did the Dome Promenade Guided Tour. Took the opportunity to explore the buildings significant history and learn how it was used over time. 139 steps to get to the top. 8 levels. You can use the elevator if you don’t want to do steps. The Royal Exhibition Building is beautiful inside and out—and a true landmark of Melbourne.
