Melbourne is the capital of the Australian state of Victoria and it counts more than four million inhabitants and more than 75 nations. Numerous tourists who visit this city remain surprised by many things. First of all, trams crossing the record of many cities on the old continent with hundreds of kilometers of long rails. The inhabitants of this city are representatives of a multicultural society of numerous ethnic origin. If you ask local residents for an opinion about Melbourne, you will receive the answer that this is one of the best cities in the world. The city is also known for its multiculturalism because it houses the largest Greek community, and the Italian and the big China town.

Big cities are not easy to explore, and if you have only one day or few hours in Melbourne, hiring a Melbourne chauffeur service with drivers who can quickly take you to all important places in town is priceless. Organized city tours can take forever just to book, and you always have to wait for the whole group, and you are wasting your time. This way you can’t see much. Chauffer’s who knows the roads, and all interesting places for taking best shots in Melbourne are definitely going to save your time and make your visit memorable.

Melbourne is certainly a city worth your attention and time. The contemporary design of Melbourne reminds a lot of European architecture. The town lives in a hurry and rhythm that shows the energy of the inhabitants' movement, as well as the architecture in which 200 years old buildings and the modern era are connected. If we return 200 years back, Melbourne was a small town that began to develop at an intense speed.

The central point of the city, Federation Square, was opened only in 2002 and is one of the most complex and ambitious projects in the history of Australian architecture. The square is a unique blend of cultural activities and internationally recognized as one of the world's largest public spaces. Over 200 events annually take place in this square, starting from the exhibition, festival, film projections and fashion shows. Within the square is the Ian Potter Centre, which proudly presents the history of Australia from the colonial period to the present, and has several galleries dedicated to indigenous art.

At the same time, the National Sports Museum is the only place that is fully dedicated to sports. The Australian Centre for Moving Images (ACMI) is the first center of its kind in the world and presents all kinds of moving images, movies, television and digital culture. In Melbourne there is also a famous prison, today a museum, the Old Melbourne Goal, which was built in 1841 and developed during the golden fever. In the largest Australian museum, the Melbourne Museum, there is the right offer for all ages: Rubik's cube at the Children's Museum, Bunyilaka Aboriginal Centre, dinosaur replica, the history of all the exhibitions held in Melbourne and the collection of flies and butterflies.

The true wealth of flora and fauna in the city can be found in the oldest zoo in Australia, the Melbourne Zoo. Within the garden there is a huge African rainforest for gorillas, orangutans, hippopotamuses, and tigers, as well as an exhibition of busha - Australian vegetation, home to many animal species in Australia. The best-kept gardens are Royal Botanic Gardens, located 2 kilometers south of the city, and provide visitors with enjoyment in carefully maintained plants, European trees and beautiful gardens.

Docklands is also a feature of the city, and recently it is adorned with a large wheel for a panoramic view of the city. In addition to wheels, there is a shopping center that will surprise you with its appearance. It looks like a small town with many alleys. Apart from shops, here you can find a post office, exchange office, cafes and restaurants. In addition to Docklands, there are many shopping centers in the city that you can spend money with.

If you decide to visit the Port Campbell National Park or the so-called Twelve Apostles, make sure that you hire chauffeured car in Melbourne, since you don’t want to miss taking pictures and enjoy magnificent views. Driving along the Great Ocean Road alone is an experience for itself, the road abounds in countless views that provide a view from the rocks to the endless ocean. A tremendous ride to the national park will pay off after just one glimpse of the stunning rocks. The rocks seem unreal, as if you were in another world, you cannot describe them, you have to see them.
