Sights You Cannot Afford to Miss in Melbourne

There is so much to see and do in Melbourne that it can be so confusing to decide where you should go. If you do not live in this beautiful city and have only a limited amount of time, you need to make the most of it. This means narrowing down the sites that you simply have to visit while you are in this lovely region. Some of these are historical landmarks while others are interesting places that you simply cannot miss. Here is where you should head to:

City Circle Tram

Yes, this is more of something to do rather than see but it still deserves a spot on top of your list. It is a lovely sight to see, particularly if you are not used to seeing a tram trailing along. Of course do not stop to admire it for long as you should hop on it and take a ride. The best thing about this tram is that it is absolutely free. It will take you to several stops in the city and you will not have to spend a dollar. Make a list of the places that you want to see and you may even able to get dropped off somewhere close by.

Flinders Street Station

This is a destination that you need to visit, even if you are not planning on taking the train. This train station is a beautiful structure that doubles as a functional building as well! This is certainly an iconic part of the city and should not be missed. This place is utilized by the locals so much that it has even led to the creation of its very own phrase. The term "meet you under the clocks" was added to the natives’ dialect to indicate the clocks depicting the time of departure of the trains. Remember to avoid the morning and evening rush and head there during more peaceful times.

The Eureka Tower

If you are tired of walking around or simply want a bird’s eye view of the city, then head to Eureka Tower. This building allows you to reach the eighty-eighth floor. This means that you will be privy to one of the most jaw dropping panoramas in the region. This should definitely be added to your list of things to do in Melbourne. Especially if you do not have a lot of time to spend in the city but still want to get an overall look, this is the place to go. It will certainly be an experience you will never forget. Of course, be warned, it is certainly not for those of the faint of heart or who are afraid of heights. It is well worth putting aside your fear, however, to be able to see the view.

This is not a full list but does contain the most important places and why you should see them. Make sure to see visit each of these places even if it is only for a quick peek.
