Creator's Key Takeaways

I arrived in Melbourne on a Viking Cruise Ship and had less than 10 hours to explore the city

the architecture from the early 1900s is beautiful as well as the park and grounds surrounding it

I especially love this waterfall that symmetrically took your eyes straight up up up up up up to the top of the Steeples

this was one of the grooviest locations I found in the city where people were communally watching a football game

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Take a half day motor coach tour to get an overview of the city
โœ“Visit St Patrick's Cathedral for free admission and beautiful interior
โœ“Explore the Royal Botanic Gardens and conservatory for floral displays
โœ“Check out Hosier Lane for amazing graffiti art
