Sightseeing

Remarkable architecture in this city centrepiece, near all the key galleries and museums and across the road from the Arts Precinct. Lovely to wander in the summer. If you follow the side down to the river there are some great little bars and restaurants hidden away.

Melbourne's smartest department store. Well worth a shopping wander if you are so inclined. From fashion to food to random artefacts and a vast array of beauty products.

Modern tasty food. My favourite on Flinders Lane. Can get crowded but often seats at the bar. If you are on your own? the people-watching is good.

Go to the top floor bar for a drink and a view. AVOID the restaurant, which is crazily expensive and noisy. The bar is good, and the drink prices are worth it for the amazing views across Melbourne.

A class act. Asian / Australian fusion food in a luxurious, quiet setting but not stuffy. We go here a lot. 15 Minute walk or a 3-minute tram ride.

A very stylish world-class bar and restaurant. Expensive but worth it. Their 'Gimlet' cocktail is amazing and the drinks and food are excellent. Perfect for a special occasion, dress up night out or just a smart drink. MUST BOOK for meals. sometimes can walk-in for a drink.

Транспорт

Trams and trains are the way to go.

All use the Myki card. There are two loan Myki cards on the front table, which should have a few dollars on them. Most stops in the city and most stations have a machine to check and recharge. Please recharge if you use them.
