City Attractions
The
modernist Melbourne Museum is the largest museum complex in
the southern hemisphere.
Spread over six huge levels, half of which are below
ground level, the museum draws on the latest technology to give an
insight into Australia’s flora, fauna and culture.
For
the true Melbourne sporting experience, head to the Melbourne
Cricket Ground (MCG) or Telstra Dome to watch an Australian
Football League (AFL) game.
Experience the spectacular excitement of our unique and favourite
sport, where an average match can attract an almost capacity crowd
of vocal – yet peaceful – supporters.
Played in the winter months from March to September, games are
played on Friday nights, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. For game
information phone AFL (+61 3 9643 1999) or Ticketmaster7 (1300 136
122 – Australia only).
Getting
around Melbourne is easy, thanks to an integrated network of trains,
trams and buses.
The city’s famous trams travel along most
of Melbourne’s major thoroughfares, extending out to about 15
kilometres into the suburbs.
Visitors can also use the burgundy and gold City
Circle Tram, which does a free 30-minute circuit around the city
centre, linking major attractions and other transport routes.
The
253-metre-high Rialto Towers Building is the tallest office building
in the southern hemisphere and one of the most recognised icons in
Melbourne.
Take the high-speed lift to Level 55 for the Melbourne
Observation Deck, which boasts spectacular 360-degree views of
Melbourne and the surrounding area.
The
Melbourne Aquarium is a ‘must-see’ attraction for any
visitor to Melbourne.
Conveniently located on the banks of the Yarra River in the city
centre, the state-of-the-art Melbourne Aquarium harbours thousands
of creatures from the Southern Ocean.
