One of the biggest problems with the majority of city guides lies in the fact that they assume that you have the time, money and energy to check out the entire place. For a moment, think about your own home city. Did you really pay a visit to every single landmark, try every activity that it has to offer and sampled everything that it has to offer? Of course not! So, we’ve decided to stick to a tad more pragmatic approach when writing a guide for Melbourne visitors. In it, we’ve narrowed down to the activities and locations ranging from Bolte Bridge to Church St. Bridge.

A visit to Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium
Australia is an oceanic country-continent with one of the most endemic wildlife (and ocean life) systems on the planet. However, sometimes it can be quite hard to observe all of this in controlled circumstances. One place where you’ll be able to do this is in Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium. Here, you can get a wide range of experiences which spread over four floors. We’re talking about features like Crocodile’s Lair, Rainforest Adventure, Penguin Playground, Coral Caves, Shipwreck Explorer and much, much more.

Arts Center Melbourne
The next thing worth mentioning is the fact that in this area, you have a chance to visit one of the most unique art venues in the whole of Australia. This is truly the place where you can see some of the most impressive performances, muscles and symphonies in the world. This means that if you plan to stay here for a while, you need to single out at least one night in order to experience something quite unique, remarkable. As far as the program goes, it really depends on the date of your visit. For those who are traveling on a budget, there’s also a number of free events to attend.

Yarra river cruise
One of the most interesting things about a visit to Melbourne is the fact that it’s a city on a bank of Yarra river, which gives you a chance to embark on one of the amazing River Cruises in Melbourne. These private charters can be hired out 7 days a week, which means that you can always find a way to fit them within your daily schedule. As far as how time-consuming this activity can be, you can opt for a full hour cruise or a half-hour cruise (either up or downstream).

Eureka Skydeck
For those who are looking for a completely new perspective on the city definitely need to see the amazing Eureka Skydeck. First of all, it’s a place with a 360-degree view of Melbourne. The tower itself is 300 meters high, which gives it an adrenaline-inducing aspect. Just walking to the edge of the tower is the experience like no other. The same thing goes for one of the world’s fastest elevators. The Skydeck itself is equipped with casual seating and some free Wi-Fi, which gives you a chance to casually and in leisure spend some time with friends and family.
In conclusion
Needless to say, the longer you plan the stay, the more options you have. Still, what’s so good about the above-listed four ideas is the fact that you can fit them all within a single afternoon. This means that if you pick the hotel in the right location, even if you’re on a business trip with the tightest of schedules, you get the privilege of experiencing so much for yourself. On the other hand, you alone know your intentions and aspirations so plan your trip accordingly.
