Federation Square
We begin our sightseeing tour in Melbourne by moving past Federation Square. This contemporary structure is one of the city's main attractions. Located directly across from Flinders Street Station, it signifies the historic location where the city originated.
Our next stop is Fitzroy Gardens – 26 hectares of beautiful Victorian-era landscaping, just on the outskirts of Melbourne’s city centre. The star attraction here is Cooks’ Cottage – built in 1755 in Yorkshire, England by the parents of famed explorer Captain James Cook.
The MCG is a quintessential Australian landmark, a paradise for sports enthusiasts, and one of the largest stadiums in the world. Having hosted the 1956 Olympics, it could be considered Melbourne’s unofficial second home.
The Royal Exhibition Building is a must-visit attraction in Melbourne. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, its impressive architecture is truly stunning, nestled within the lush landscapes of Carlton Gardens. A stop here is a highlight of any city tour in Melbourne.
Parliament House
As we stroll down the magnificent Spring Street, we take a moment to appreciate three iconic historical landmarks: the impressive Parliament House, the majestic Treasury Building, and the beautiful Princess Theatre.
Collins Street
Stroll along the renowned Collins Street, often referred to as the “Paris End,” where you'll find a delightful array of fashion boutiques and stunning European-style architecture. Just a short distance away, the Block Arcade offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Melbourne’s early days.
Docklands
Docklands is a walkable precinct where modern architecture and a lively waterfront atmosphere create a vibrant city tour of Melbourne experience.
From tranquil lakeside strolls to the exhilarating atmosphere of race day, the Formula One Grand Prix Circuit in Albert Park offers an unforgettable experience that visitors can only enjoy on half-day tours in Melbourne.
St Kilda Sea Baths
Drive along the palm-lined Esplanade in St Kilda to experience the seaside vibe of Melbourne. The iconic Sea Baths are also worth a stop.
Brighton Bathing Boxes
Melbourne’s quirky and colourful beach huts are one of its most Instagrammed spots, and are also a highlight of half-day trips from Melbourne.
Our last stop is at the steps of the Shrine of Remembrance. Here you will be able to take in panoramic views across the Royal Botanic Gardens and to the Melbourne skyline — ideal for reflecting on the day and snapping that last photo of the city.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
