A lush garden escape with stunning landscapes and lakeside beauty. Explore one of the world’s finest botanical gardens right in the heart of Melbourne. With over 8,500 plant species, scenic lake views, and peaceful walking paths, the Royal Botanic Gardens offer a rejuvenating break from the city bustle. Bring a camera and your curiosity for nature.

Shrine of Remembrance

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Here’s a simple 4-line poem that tourists can easily understand: In the soft evening light, the Shine of Remembrance glows, A beautiful beacon honouring those we’ve lost. Each gentle light holds a name, a memory, a storey, Saying softly to every visitor: “You are not forgotten.”

National Gallery of Victoria

  • 30m
The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is Australia’s oldest and most visited art gallery, founded in 1861. It has one of the largest art collections in the country over 76,000 works spanning thousands of years. It has two main locations (both with free general entry): NGV International (180 St Kilda Road, Southbank) Home to international art and design from Europe, Asia, America, and beyond.

Cooks' Cottage

Built in 1755 in England by Captain James Cook’s parents, this charming stone cottage was carefully taken apart brick by brick, shipped to Australia, and rebuilt in Melbourne’s Fitzroy Gardens in 1934 to celebrate the city’s 100th birthday. Although Captain Cook never lived here, the cottage offers a lovely look into 18th-century English family life.

Old Melbourne Gaol
