48 Hours in Melbourne
48
hours in Melbourne is a perfect amount of time to discover everything
this vibrant city is famous for. When you've come so far to visit,
you need some easy tips to help you make the most of your Australia
holiday.
Getting
Around Melbourne
Melbourne
has convenient public transport and the number 35 service is a free
tourist tram (look for the burgundy colour) and does a loop of the
entire city. On your second day, stay on for the entire 45 minute
journey or jump off at one of the many interesting stops.
Historical Melbourne
Get
to know this exciting destination on your first day by taking a
quality walking tour to explore the laneways and historical corners
that Melbourne is known for. When you've had your fill of the city's
secrets, you can head off to the Botanical gardens, one of several
museums or the Old Melbourne Goal which are all in close proximity
and easy to include in your itinerary.
The
MelbourneMuseum
is particularly large and you'll need to allocate a fair amount of
time to see everything if you add this to your day.
Eating In Melbourne
Whatever
you do, don't skip any meals while you are in Melbourne! With such a
multicultural
background,
you can taste everything from Vietnamese crispy pancakes to decadent
Italian gelato and world famous coffee on your holiday. You'll need
every meal opportunity to try everything that catches your eye.
One
of the more famous areas for café style eating is St Kilda, and in
particular, Acland Street. Acland Street has cake
shops
that will remind many of their childhood. Gazing into windows with
floor to ceiling cakes, agonising over which one to choose, then
devouring your choice with an exquisite coffee is a perfect use of an
hour or two.
A
walk along the beach after your indulgence means you can walk off
that cake, enjoy the scenery and see the historic Luna
Park. If you're brave you could even have a quick ride on the
rollercoaster!
A
Touch Of Shopping
If
you were born to shop, you've definitely come to the right place!
There are plenty of boutique stores all throughout Melbourne.
Australia holidays aren’t all about exploring the sights so you can
justify a little shopping, right?
If
you yearn for spectacular clothing that you won't see everywhere,
Brunswick and Chapel Streets are well-known shopping hotspots. If
you're really keen your entire 48 hours could easily be taken up
buying goodies to add to your suitcase.
If
you've still got energy after taking in the history, food and
shopping in Melbourne consider hitting the town for a night out at
the Crown Casino. More than just gaming, the entire area is an
entertainment precinct that will have you dancing the night away, and
probably trying some more spectacular food!
