Experience the electric illumination and energy of a city booming with cultural diversity by taking your next trip to Melbourne, Australia. Enjoy endless shopping opportunities, museum exhibits, the beach or a day at the zoo, all the while tasting the refreshing nature of a café culture.
When visiting Melbourne, Australia, search for flights to Melbourne International, which is also known as Tullamarine Airport (MEL). Utilize the following link from EscapeWizard.com to book your next flight: (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php). While you’re at it, don’t forget EscapeWizard.com hotel accommodations at the provided link: (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl).
Begin your journey at the center of the city and spend some time at Federation Square. This modernly constructed square brings together large crowds throughout the day with outdoor festivities, concerts and events. EscapeWizard.com recommends that you step over to a nearby technological structure, which houses the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. Perfect for movie buffs, you will find one of the world’s first and largest galleries of screens dedicated to the moving image, ranging from the inception of film to current advances in the digital age. Keep a steady pace of exploration and afterwards, visit the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. You will be able to see popular cultural movements via photography, video and sculpture. But that’s just a start; you won’t be able to stop moving in this bustling city!
If you want to improve your mind with a bit more historical significance, EscapeWizard.com recommends The Ian Potter Centre: The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV). Melbourne’s oldest public art gallery is filled with more than twenty galleries to discover. Amongst the gems contained within, you will see colonial to contemporary Australian works in the form of photography, textiles and drawings. Don’t forget their second branch though, known as NGI International, which underwent extensive renovations.
Now that you’ve gotten walking, spend some time outdoors. The Yarra River is close to Federation Square and will ensure the luxury of a hike or short walk. Take a seat by the river and relax. EscapeWizard.com thinks you should then continue your outdoor trek with a visit to the spectacular landscapes of the Royal Botanic Gardens, where you will see a magnificent blend of plants from across the world. Check a local calendar for the area’s seasonal events. If you want leisure time with the family, stop over at Fitzroy gardens and have a seat on the bench while basking in the surrounding green scenery.
If kangaroos, koala bears and butterflies are what you seek, then EscapeWizard.com is certain that you will want to see the Melbourne Zoo. Follow dirt paths through a tropical setting composed in circular designs, while stopping to view exotic animals. Take photographs at the third oldest zoo in the world, which is also the most aged in Australia. Next, Escapewizard.com recommends coming face to face with aquatic animals at Melbourne Aquarium. See sharks and stingrays within numerous halls. If this gets you pumped up for more outdoor adventure, take a trip out to Saint Kilda or Brighton Beach. Create excitement in your day with views of decorated sheds, aqua waters and welcoming beach sands. Or take a day to travel further out of the city to enjoy the wilderness of the outback, mountain views and engaging wildlife.
There is no end to the shopping possibilities; take a stroll down Swanston Street as just one of many options. When the day wears you down, indulge yourself in the unique café culture and check out an urban deli. Enjoy roasted vegetable wraps, signature coffee blends and more with the distinctly different flavor of far away. Bourke Street is a great place to stop, where this historical road seems to bustle above the others. For dinner choices, experience a fresh and healthier flavor with a diverse range of restaurant choices. Multi-cuisines are available, from Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Asian and plenty others to choose from. After dinner, EscapeWizard.com suggests choosing a local karaoke bar or club for drinks to soak up more of the stylish blend of another culture. For more night adventure, take your friends on an illuminated horse-drawn carriage ride.
Electricity and excitement endures. Melbourne, Australia; you will feel at home, only better.
