Those who book their trip through Bitbook.net Always benefit with a cashback.

Restaurants with outdoor tables, Victorian architecture, cable cars passing through the streets and a relentless coming and going of people through the main streets. Melbourne, Australia's second largest city, is a destination for those who enjoy cosmopolitan air, fine dining, historic sites and an active cultural life.

The state capital of Victoria is crossed by the Yarra River and bathed by the sea. Its charm is unique and the city's scenery is formed by tree-lined parks, Victorian colonial architecture buildings next to skyscrapers, people riding bicycles, street performers singing to pedestrians. The center, or city, is the right place to be; it concentrates the commerce, the main tourist points and the nightlife of the city.

Melbourne is great for exploring on foot and this is certainly the best way to get to know the city, getting lost in its streets. The big streets of the center are always full of people and vehicles, but all their movement is compensated by the picturesque atmosphere of the laneways, alleys and alleys that were once not seen as places and nowadays are a symbol of the city's transformation. These small streets are home to a variety of restaurants and cafes, open-air restaurants, and are like a breath of fresh air and a refuge from the big crowd.

Among the city's main tourist attractions are Federation Square, Melbourne's main square, which brings together attractions such as the Australian Center for the Moving Image, Flinders Street Station, a very old train station, St Paul's Cathedral and Hosier. lane. The Victoria Market, an 1878 market where you can find everything from food to handicrafts, is also a must-visit, especially on nights when it gathers food stalls.

Strolling along the Southbank, on the boardwalk along the Yarra River, is a must-see, especially on sunny days. The place is great to have lunch in one of its restaurants or enjoy the scenery of the city. For a very special panoramic view, take advantage of the Southbank tour to go up to the Eureka Skydeck observatory, a viewpoint with a panoramic view of the capital. The view is beautiful, day or night! The Art Gallery of Victoria and the Shrine of Remembrance, a memorial and museum dedicated to First World War fighters, are still located in this region.

Melbourne has more than 4 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area. This city brings together people from different parts of the world and is perfect for walking. Walking through the city center, taking your time, is the ideal tour to discover Victorian architecture buildings next to modern shopping centers or skyscrapers, and to discover the lanes, small alleys with hidden establishments and street art on the walls.

A tour of the city should start at the most emblematic point, that is, Federation Square, or Fed Square. The square is not very pretty or attractive because of its charm, but it is the main square in the city and one of the most famous in the world; various events take place there, it is home to a very complete tourist service center and the ACMI (Australian Center for the Moving Image), which has an exhibition called Screen World, very interesting and interactive. On the outskirts of Fed Square are also Flinders Street Station, the oldest train station in Australia, and St Paul’s Cathedral, an Anglican church consecrated in 1852.

To get to know the city, walk! This is how you can get to know the lanes, small alleys with restaurants, cafes and street art. Among the small streets worth a visit are Hosier Lane, with spray paint everywhere, Center Place and Degraves St, symbols of the city's effervescence. It is streets like these that make Melbourne such a busy city and at the same time inviting for walking, because they are only pedestrianized, they are full of restaurants with outdoor tables and the smell of coffee－the main aroma of the city!

Still downtown, don't miss a visit to Chinatown, with its many dumpling restaurants, and a tour of the Queen Victoria Market, where you'll find great fast foods, fruits, flowers and even handicrafts. On Wednesdays in summer, the Night Market takes place at Vic Market, a market with music and food stalls, which brings together a lot of people and has a very pleasant atmosphere. For a cultural tour, go to the Immigration Museum, which with a moving collection tells the story of immigrants who sought in Australia to improve their quality of life.

the best place to stay, for those who prioritize location, being the reason for the leisure or business trip, is the city center and its surroundings.

Melbourne's city center is a small area between the Yarra River, Queen Victoria Market, Southern Cross (train station) and Fitzroy Gardens. The botanical garden is also considered the center of the city, but it is no longer part of the “middle”. Among the main points of interest in the center are Flinders Street Station and Fed Square, being close to them you will have easy access to the entire city and the main tourist attractions.

The entire city can be explored on foot and, anywhere in this area, transport by trans is free. In other words, a good advantage of staying in the center is that instead of doing everything on foot, you can rest using public transport. When trans people leave the free zone, an audible warning is made on the transport and then you must pay for the ticket. In the center, some accommodation options are the Pensione Hotel Melbourne, which has very small rooms and is good value for money; DoubleTree by Hilton and Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne, both with an exceptional location; Citadines on Bourke Melbourne, located on one of the city's main streets; the Ibis Melbourne, with its friendly price; and Aura on Flinders Serviced Apartments, for those who prefer an apartment-style accommodation with rooms with a kitchen.
