Best Things to Do in Melbourne
Of course, there are museums like the Melbourne Museum and the National Gallery of Victoria. And there are a few zoos: Melbourne Zoo and the Werribee Open Range Zoo to name two. But this Australian city also offers some more unique things to do. If you're a sports fan, visiting the Melbourne Cricket Ground is essential. And should you want to view the cutest penguins alive, a trip to the nearby Phillip Island Nature Park is requisite. Melbourne is also the "events capital of Australia." So if you align your trip with the city's Melbourne Cup, Australian Open, or any festival really, you won't be disappointed.
