National Gallery of Victoria - Melbourne,VIC

Ming Shen Tham If youre looking for breathtaking views of Melbourne and beyond, the Melbourne Skydeck is an absolute must-visit! Located on the 88th floor of the Eureka Tower, it offers unparalleled panoramic views of the city skyline, the Yarra River, and, on clear days, even as far as the Dandenong Ranges and Port Phillip Bay. The experience begins as soon as you step into the elevator. The ride up is smooth and quick, taking you to the top in under a minute. Once you step out, you’re greeted by the glass-enclosed observation deck that stretches 360 degrees around the tower. The views are truly spectacular, whether it’s during the day, where the city sparkles with life, or at night, when Melbourne’s lights dazzle in all directions. One of the standout features of the Skydeck is "The Edge" – a glass cube that extends out from the side of the building, offering a thrilling and unique experience as you stand suspended above the city. For those looking for something a bit more relaxed, there are comfortable seating areas where you can simply enjoy the view. For photography enthusiasts, this is an absolute dream. The views are perfect for capturing stunning cityscapes, especially during the golden hour when the sun sets behind the skyscrapers. The space is also well-maintained, clean, and offers helpful staff who are eager to answer questions and share tips for maximizing the experience. Additionally, the Melbourne Skydeck offers interactive displays and informative panels, which can be fun for both adults and kids. You’ll learn a lot about Melbourne’s history, landmarks, and the construction of the Eureka Tower itself.

Akrem Jaouadi You absolutely must visit Melbournes Shrine of Remembrance. This magnificent architectural landmark stands as a powerful memorial to the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War. Beyond its profound historical significance, its elevated location offers some of the best vantage points for sweeping city views. Its a truly unique place where history and stunning vistas unite.

Shawn Zhang A wonderful spot to watch the sunset, Melbourne skyline, and people, lots of people. Very busy over the long weekend, and probably most weekends too. Parking right at the lookout can be tricky to find, but if you are happy to walk 10 minutes, then you should be fine. Still worth the trip as the view is beautiful!

Tony Wenz Nice spot for a walk. Take the dog to the dog beach on the left side ⛱️ Acland Street is nearby, as is Lunar Park. Formerly known as Brooks Jetty.

sventek Beautiful lush well maintained garden. Lots of welcoming grass to picnic on, nice flat walking and biking tracks around for the kids, lovely playgrounds on one end of garden, separated by fenced tennis courts between main garden area, so you can choose to relax on a quieter end, or join in the liveliness at the other end. Toilets available on site. Theres 2 hour and 4 hour free parking spots around.

Jody Mahmoud A small and cute village model, with tiny cottages surronded by greenery. Small details that give the cottages a realistic look. Love it.

Fabrizia Barrowcliffe Just saw the most amazingly talented bunch of acrobats, musicians, actors, singers and performers from the Lyttelton theatre company. Performing a mesmerising show entitled Berlin burlesque. Based on a true story. Absolutely sensational, not very risqué until right at the end, funny entertaining and full of energy. Gorgeous little intimate theatre- don’t miss it! Only on another 16 nights. Really fabulous!

Frank Hermesdorf Love to walk or jog around Albert Park. There is always a strong breeze at its South Melbourne end, with plenty of sail boats taking advantage of. Also a great spot to take photos of Black Swans.

Andreas Ludwig Stunning park and lake. Lots of space to exercise, relax, walk the dog or just enjoy the news and the weather. My dog and I had some hours to kill, waiting for my wife, and used the time to walk around the lake. Wonderful views, rest areas and views. Very happy 2 hours!
