While on your excursions, make it a point to visit the Royal Exhibition Building, especially if you are interested in architecture. Situated in Carlton Gardens, this structure dates back to 1880 when it was constructed as part of the city’s first international exhibition. One of the oldest exhibition pavilions in the world, it has been included in the World Heritage list. The venue for the first Commonwealth Parliament, the Royal Exhibition Building features lavish interiors and a striking dome and continues to be a celebrated venue for all manner of shows, events and fairs.
