Named the world’s 3rd most livable city by Time out last year….the same year it’s city’s population surpassed Sydney’s and became Australia’s largest city… Lets check it out!!
Melbourne is indeed very charming…. A Metropolitan city with a harmonious mix of: old and new buildings, diverse cultures, a big melting pot of people from all over the world… A city that feels young, vibrant and full of energy
We always find the cities we have been to with a river flows through it especially luring ( Florence, Paris, Chicago, Amsterdam, Rome, new York, London, Budapest, Moscow … Etc) and Melbourne proves our point again..Yarra river runs through it and divide the city into north and south bank
We really like the way NGV ( National Gallery of Victoria) displays their art works, just like their city, they mix things up beautifully, classic with modern art intermingle thoughtfully anf gives a refreshing perspective
One of the exhibit at the museum is for people to write a love note to their mom and paste it on the walls, all 4 walls are fully covered….. we contributed as well ✌️
The block arcade is a time capsule that brought us back to Victorian era with its intricate mosaic floors, boutique shops, tea rooms and cake shops that make customers swoon
We had lunch at one of Melbourne’s famous Laneways, Degraves St Laneway … Laneways are narrow alleys packed with boutique coffee shops, chic restaurants, and bars…the food is ok, but great place for people watching and great vibe
And then we went shopping along Swanston st…. Its Friday afternoon and the whole area is packed and buzzling… Also crawling with Swifties!! Taylor swift is doing her concert in Melbourne starting today!! We can feel that energy and excitement in the air
Their tram system contributed greatly to the charm of Melbourne… Super convenient and it’s free within a downtown area zone
We were given almost 11 hours to conquer Melbourne but by the 7th hour R already used up all her energy after logging in est. 18000 steps…. And P kept going (apparently he has a bigger battery power😆, he ended up logging 28000 steps) this city is huge…. We only covered the CBD (Central business District, Australian for downtown) area, hopefully next time, we will do the suburbs…
