THREE DAYS

• Amazing views of the city from the 88th floor of the Eureka Tower.
• Catch the free City Circle Tram or the free Melbourne City Tourist Shuttle
• Get your dose of culture at the Melbourne Museum, NGV and Federation Square.
• Watch the sunset over the St Kilda Beach with a beer in hand at the Espy.
• Eat, drink and be merry on Brunswick St, Fitzroy.
• Stock up on souvenirs for home at the Queen Victoria Market.
• And, if you’re British, chances are you’ll find time to squeeze in the Neighbours Tour.

ONE WEEK

• Melbourne goes footy mad in winter so head down to the MCG to catch a game and marvel at just how short their shorts are. If you’re making the trip in summer you can experience firsthand the cricket, the Australian Open, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, or admire the beautiful people (and horses) at The Spring Racing Carnival.
• Day trip to the aptly named Great Ocean Road. Book a tour or hire a car and admire the spectacular road that twists and turns its way along the coast and through a rainforest. Stop along the way to ooh and aah at the cute koalas, visit the world famous Bells Beach and take holiday snaps at the Twelve Apostles.
• Take a day trip to Phillip Island and watch the little penguins waddling ashore.
• Check out what’s happening at the Arts Centre
• Listen to uniquely Australian music at one of the many live music venues around town.
