To visit in Melbourne, Australia, here are 7 places you need to go:

Memorial Temple This is one of the darker scenes in this city, which will surely inspire you to reflect on the sacrifices made by the fallen in the First World War. Shortly after the end of the war, the Shrine was erected in the King's Domain Gardens and remains the focus of ceremonies on ANZAC Day (April 25th) and Remembrance Day (November 11th) each year. Afterwards, head to some of Melbourne's famous markets; the South Melbourne Market or the Queen Victoria Market are also great options. Federal Square Opened in 2002 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the federation, it features stylish geometric modern design in stark contrast to the historic Victorian architecture surrounding Melbourne. That being said, exploring the area is one of the best activities in Melbourne as they often host a plethora of events and entertainment. Usually held in the outdoor performance area of Federation Square, there is a good chance that there will be some events taking place during your visit. São Paulo Cathedral It was built in 1868 and is a stunning example of Australian Gothic Revival architecture. It is free to enter, so after admiring the impressive exterior, be sure to go inside and take a look. Melbourne Museum The collection is extremely diverse, from the Indigenous Centre (Bunjilaka) to the Children's Museum. The building itself is impressive from the outside, and the surrounding gardens and parks are also great places to explore or stop for a picnic. Eureka Tower This impressive skyscraper stands 91 stories tall, crowned with gold. Its gilding pays tribute to the Victorian-era gold rush, and from the ground, the sparkling facade is a sight to behold. Head up to the 88th-floor observation deck for an unparalleled view of the city below. If you're looking for a scenic activity, this is easily one of the best things to do in Melbourne. Melbourne Star This is an observation Ferris wheel, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from a height of 40 floors and 360 degrees. Royal Botanic Gardens These gardens cover about 40 hectares and are widely regarded as one of the best gardens in the world. You can see over 50,000 plant species here (impressive, right?), including some rare ones. Don't miss the chance to take a fascinating journey through Australian Aboriginal cultural heritage by walking along the Aboriginal Heritage Walk that passes through the gardens. After exploring the gardens all morning, grab a refreshing drink at one of Melbourne's best coffee shops, Manchester Press, where they make a mean Italian-style espresso.
