Melbourne is a great location to spend a vacation – whether alone or with the family. Here the weather’s great and the people are friendly, and all this means it’s a great city to go exploring in. So, if you do find yourself in Melbourne, here’re four of the best places you can visit in the city.
Melbourne Zoo
A trip to the zoo is always a fun time. The Melbourne Zoo in particular is one of the most feature-rich zoological institutions in the whole country. With over 300 different species housed in the zoo – from Australia’s native marsupials to big cats from Asia – there’s plenty to see here. What’s more, if you’re staying at a centrally located serviced apartment Melbourne has to offer – say, for example, the Oaks Melbourne on William Suites – the zoo is only a few minutes’ drives away.
Chinatown
Melbourne’s Chinatown is a must-visit if you’re ever in the city. From excellent street food to wonderful art galleries, there’s a great variety of things to see and do here. The highlight of Chinatown is the Chinese Museum – an establishment that tells the story of the Chinese community’s history in Australia.
The Royal Botanic Gardens of Victoria
If you’re looking to spend a peaceful afternoon in the company of your family, look no further than the Royal Botanic Gardens of Victoria. It’s a great place to relax and catch a breather from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Collingwood Farm
If you’re touring through Melbourne with your kids, be sure to stop by Collingwood Farm on the weekend. Kids and parents can join forces to take on some fun farm chores and understand the essence of running a farm and living off the land.
