Melbourne Vacations

Melbourne, in the state of Victoria in Australia, is a city built on the banks of the Yarra River. For a panoramic view of the city, a trip up the Eureka Tower is worthwhile. The city has a comprehensive tram network, including a free city circle tram. Tours of the Melbourne Cricket Ground are available daily. Boat trips are available on Port Phillip Bay, and beaches are to be found in suburbs including St Kilda. Flights are available with Qantas and United Airlines. www.visitmelbourne.com.

Australia's second-largest city, Melbourne, capital of Victoria, is the most European in style with trams rattling through streets past Victorian buildings, parks and outdoor cafes. The city centre is laid out in a simple grid pattern, the long, wide north-south streets gently sloping down to the Yarra River, crossed by a mix of narrow lanes, and the main shopping streets such as Bourke and Collins Streets. The CBD is easily navigable by foot, and if a rest is needed after a session of sightseeing or shopping there are numerous parks nearby, such as the Royal Botanical Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens. Alternatively, you can take one of Melbourne's signature attractions, a tram.
