Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia, located around Port Phillip Bay in Australia's beautiful south-east. The city is Australia's sporting and cultural capital and serves as a relaxing holiday destination with much to see and do. Take a look at a selection of the most visited attractions in Melbourne:

Federation Square

Federation Square is Melbourne's main gathering place, particularly for tourists. This incredibly modern square is surrounded by stunning building housing cafes, restaurants, the Ian Potter Centre and much much more. It's a symbol of Melbourne's prosperity and confidence. It's also a great base from which to explore the city at large.


St Kilda

St Kilda is Melbourne's playground and one of the most popular areas in the city. Situated on the shores of Port Philip Bay, the town offers an attractive waterfront pier, a terrific funfair and a myriad of great bars and restaurants. There is no better place to relax with a nice glass of wine and watch the world go by.


National Gallery of Victoria

The National Gallery of Victoria is a fantastic gallery with a wide-ranging collection of priceless art work. The 19th-century European art section is particularly recommended. The gallery is actually housed in two separate buildings - the Ian Potter Centre at Federation Square and the NGV International on St Kilda Road.


Southbank

Southbank is the riverside location that is very much the entertainment and cultural of Melbourne. Dominated by the Crown Entertainment Complex, you'll find a casino, cinemas, as well as dozens of bars, shops, clubs and restaurants. In terms of culture, the Melbourne Maritime Museum and the Victorian Arts Centre are just a stone's throw away.
