1. I just want to draw your attention to the house you see on your right. There are so few art nouveau buildings in Melbourne that it deserves a look, even if it’s quick.

2. You have here the entrance to the treasure gardens overlooking Fitzroy Gardens. The latter are the best known in Melbourne and cover almost 26 hectares. They are one of Australia’s leading Victorian landscaped gardens.

3. You are now in front of St Patrick’s Cathedral, the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne. It is the largest and highest church in the country.

4. Leaving the gardens of the Parliament, you are attracted almost inadvertently by the opulence of the façade of the beautiful Princess Theatre across the street. It is one of Melbourne’s most spectacular buildings and recalls the city’s wealth during the Gold Rush.

5. The imposing building you have there is the Victoria Parliament. Built in the 19th century, it is considered one of the finest examples of civil architecture in the British Empire.

6. You are now, as you have understood, in the Chinatown neighborhood. Like all the major cities in the world, Melbourne has an important Chinese Quarter, born in the 1850s. At that time, the gold rush attracted immigrants from all over the world, including thousands of Chinese prospectors.

7. The huge building that now stands before you is the Victoria State Library. Established in 1854 as the Melbourne Public Library, it is the oldest public library in Australia and one of the first in the world to be free!

8. Yes, it seems that someone has forgotten their wallet. This giant sculpture is part of Australia’s Big Things. If you’re on a road trip around the country, you’ve probably already met others.

9. You’ve just entered Melbourne’s magnificent Royal Arcade. When I told you it was the most European of Australian cities! This is the first covered passage in the country!

10. Now you stand outside Melbourne City Hall, his City Inn. Melbourne was officially declared a city on 13 December 1842, with Henry Condell as its first mayor.

11. If you’ve been praised for Melbourne’s wonderful alleyways, filled with alternative cafes, quirky boutiques and culinary paradise, you were certainly talking about Centre Place and Degraves Street.

    Kører forbi

12. Here you have St. Paul’s Cathedral, whose Gothic Revival style contrasts with the buildings surrounding it. It was built on the site where the first public Christian service was held in 1835.

About Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.

Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.

Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
