Australia\u2019s second-largest city is famous for its culture, fashion and abundance of laneways and arcades. Thankfully, most of the major tourist attractions are located in close proximity to one another, meaning you will be able to fit them all into your Melbourne cruise holiday.<\/p>\n

Federation Square<\/h3>\n

A centre for arts and cultural events in the heart of Melbourne, Federation Square is a must-see tourist attraction. The landmark is located right across the road from the famous Flinders Station and St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral.

Flinders Street Railway Station<\/h3>\n

Right across from Fed Square is the Flinders Street Railway Station, another must-see tourist attraction in Melbourne. Before Fed Square come about, this was the most-common meeting point among locals, who would usually say \u201cmeet me under the clocks\u201d. The phrase come about because of a set of clocks that are located just overhead at the main entrance. Dating back to 1860, they display train departure times.\u00a0 With over 1,500 trains and 110,000 commuters passing through daily, this is the oldest and busiest railway station in all of Australia. It represents one of the grandest displays of architecture in the city, so be sure to take your camera for a few snaps.<\/p>\n

St Paul\u2019s Cathedral<\/h3>\n

Located across both Flinders Station and Fed Square is St Paul\u2019s Cathedral. Another must-see tourist attraction, the cathedral is one of Melbourne\u2019s major landmarks. It was built in the English Gothic Revival style between 1880 and 1891, though two spires were added later on, and construction took place between 1926 and 1932. Aside from being a major architectural landmark, it is a significant part of Melbourne\u2019s history, as the first ever service in Melbourne was held on the site of today\u2019s cathedral in 1835. Like with many other Christian cathedrals, the plan of St. Paul\u2019s is that of a Latin Cross, with a long nave, flanking aisles, short transepts, tower at the crossing and a pair of towers above either side of the entrance.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights inside the National Gallery of Victoria is the suspended stained-glass ceiling, the world\u2019s largest piece of suspended stained glass.<\/p>\n

Hosier Lane<\/h3>\n

One of the most recognisable tourist attractions in Melbourne, Hosier Lane is an unmissable part of any cruise holiday to Australia\u2019s culture capital. One of the most popular places to see in Melbourne, the pedestrian laneway is known for its graffiti lined walls. Both international and local artists have used the walls of Hosier Lane as a temporary canvas to express their talent. While you\u2019re here, you can make a pitstop at one of the cafes or you can decide to explore the other famous laneways of Melbourne, which we\u2019ll get to in a second.<\/p>\n

Melbourne\u2019s Laneways<\/h2>\n

No Melbourne cruise holiday is complete without visiting the city\u2019s famous laneways. In fact, the city has over 40 arcades and laneways combined and is one of the things its best known for. Throughout the laneways, you can discover hole-in-the-wall cafes, famed restaurants and covert boutiques. Meyers Place, Centre Place, Hardware Lane and Block Arcade are among some of the city\u2019s oldest and most popular. If we\u2019re to pick one thing that you can\u2019t leave off your list of things to do in Melbourne then this is it.<\/p>\n

Restaurants in Melbourne<\/h2>\n

Melbourne has a very European-like feel and many of the city\u2019s restaurants are influenced by Greek, Italian and other European cultures. It doesn\u2019t stop there though, in Melbourne you can also find your fair share of Asian cuisine, and of course, traditional Aussie meals with a modern twist. Below, we\u2019ve listed some restaurants you can\u2019t look past during your cruise holiday to Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Chin Chin<\/h3>\n

Considered by many to be Melbourne\u2019s most successful restaurant, Chin Chin introduces to the flavours of Southeast Asia. Open from 11am until late, waiting times are known to be quite long at Chin Chin. So, arrive early in the day and make a reservation for later on.

Be sure to make a reservation. The restaurant is open for lunch from Monday to Friday and for dinner from Monday to Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ezard<\/h3>\n

Bars and Pubs<\/h2>\n

From hole-in-the-wall pubs throughout Melbourne\u2019s laneways to beachfront bars, Melbourne loves a drink. Australia\u2019s vibrant cultural capital is home to a huge variety of bars, clubs and pubs that cater to every taste. Below, we\u2019ve mentioned some you absolutely can\u2019t miss, though we feel that Fall from Grace and 1806 each deserve an honourable mention as well. Here\u2019s our list.<\/p>\n

The Esplanade Hotel<\/h3>\n

One of Melbourne\u2019s most famous and iconic pubs is located in the nearby beachside suburb of St. Kilda. Referred to locally as the Espy, the laid-back hotel looks out toward St. Kilda Pier. If you\u2019re here on a hot summer\u2019s day then the Espy makes for a great pit stop after swimming at St. Kilda beach. Here you can eat from the Espy Kitchen or sip on some cocktails from the Mya Tiger cocktail bar. There are three stages where live music performances are held, and each caters to a different taste in music.<\/p>\n

Ms Collins<\/h3>\n

Melbourne has quite the vibrant nightlife and Ms Collins is at the forefront of it all. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, Ms Collins is a restaurant and bar by day, and a nightclub during the evening. Latin, hip hop and electronic music are usually on the agenda to attract partygoers. Though, new concepts are constantly being thought up to keep things fresh. If you love your whiskey then this is the place to go. Presented by Glenfiddich, The Whiskey Boutique is a bespoke space inside the nightclub that houses some of the best whiskeys from all around the world.<\/p>\n

Shopping<\/h2>\n

Melbourne is widely considered Australia\u2019s fashion capital, so you\u2019re in the right place if shopping is on the agenda during your cruise holiday to Melbourne. There\u2019s something here for every budget, with every-day and exclusive designer brands located throughout the city. Below we\u2019ve listed some of the best places to go shopping in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Melbourne Central<\/h3>\n

Located in the heart of the city, Melbourne central is home to over 500 retailers spread across 5 floors in an American-style shopping mall. Here you can find both local and international brands, including R.M. Williams and Nike. You can buy anything from clothes and electronics stores to news agencies, bank services and a cinema. If it\u2019s \u2018bucketing down\u2019 rain outside then Melbourne Central is a good place to seek shelter. If you\u2019re after a bit then the on-site food court has you covered with plenty of fast food stores located throughout, including Subway, KFC and Grill\u2019d Healthy Burgers.<\/p>\n

Queen Victoria Market<\/h3>\n

Considered a major landmark in Melbourne, the Queen Victoria Market is the largest open-air market in the southern hemisphere. Taking up some 17 hectares, the Queen Victoria Market has been around since the 1878. Occupying two city blocks, the market is divided into the lower and upper markets. The highlight of the market is the Meat Hall, which still boasts its original prominent fa\u00e7ade. There\u2019s something here for everyone, including fresh local produce, coffee, specialty products from local artists and designers, and you can even get a haircut here if that\u2019s what you\u2019re after. Overall, the Queen Victoria Market should be on your list of things to see in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Beaches<\/h2>\n

Melbourne might not be the first Australian city that pops to mind when you think of beaches, but the beaches here definitely shouldn\u2019t be overlooked. One of Melbourne\u2019s most famous beaches is Brighton Beach, which is known for its bathing boxes \u2013 the vibrantly coloured beach cottages you see on Instagram. Though, as it\u2019s a bit too far from the CBD, we\u2019re just going to give it an honourable mention. Below, we\u2019ve listed some must-see beaches in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

St Kilda Beach<\/h3>\n

Considered Melbourne\u2019s most famous beach, St. Kilda beach is a 700m stretch of soft golden sand that you should include as part of your Melbourne cruise itinerary. The beach is a popular kite surfing spot among locals, and while you\u2019re here you will be able to visit famous landmarks including the St. Kilda Pier and St. Kilda Sea Baths. Also, don\u2019t miss the many restaurants and bars located throughout Acland and Fitzroy Street. It\u2019s just a short tram ride from the CBD to St Kilda, so don\u2019t be put off by the fact that the beach isn\u2019t right by the CBD.<\/p>\n

Port Melbourne Beach<\/h3>\n

Port Melbourne Beach is surrounded by some of Melbourne\u2019s most exclusive real estate, bay-front restaurants and hotels. So, if you\u2019re after a balmy climate topped off by soft golden sand then Port Melbourne Beach is a great place to go for a dip. From here, you should also be able to catch a glimpse of your cruise ship. Though Port Melbourne Beach is predominantly surrounded by modern developments, you will also be able to find restored cottages and old pubs throughout the beachside suburb as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
