1. Go on a city tour
Start your stay in Melbourne by attending at least one city tour. These tours are not only a great way to get to know the city a bit better but they are also a cool way to meet new people.
During these tours, the guide will tell you more about a certain area of Melbourne that you’re touring. You can also book many different types of tours, if you find that you like exploring the city on your own, then book a wine tour to Yarra Valley.
2. Self-guided tours
Self-guided tours are always fun and exciting, plus they are a great way to discover many off-the-beaten-track locations. During these tours, you’ll see different parks, sculptures, waterfronts, bridges, and streets.
On one such tour, you may end up at a Federation Square – one of the largest squares in Melbourne where you can relax and find a free wifi connection. Here, you’ll also be able to witness many live events and public festivals.
3. Visit the Eureka tower
If you want to see the panoramic view of Melbourne, we recommend going up the Eureka Tower. The Eureka Tower is a residential tower block complex 297.3m high, and it consists of 91 floors. What’s so exciting about this tower is its observation deck on the 88th floor.
You can see the real size of Melbourne from this Skydeck and you can witness some of the most beautiful sunsets. You won’t make a mistake if you decide to spend one afternoon here, waiting for the sun to set.

You can dine in one of many restaurants along Acland Street and then visit and maybe swim at St Kilda Beach. There you’ll also find a pier where you can see the awesome skyline view.
