Carol蔷薇雨露:“After a 10-year absence, I accompanied my friends to the 88th floor of Melbourne's Eureka! 🌈
I went to the restaurant on the 89th floor once in the middle. It seems to be my third time here [Deyi] There is a new project downstairs VR”
M47***95:“I went to the museum on a whim. The ticket purchasing experience was excellent, as you could use the tickets as you went, and the price was better than at the venue. The museum isn't large, but the exhibits are well-designed, with a great combination of audiovisual equipment. In the Aboriginal exhibition area, each exhibit has a text description, pictures, and videos showing how it's used and what it's like to experience life. These made it easier to understand the purpose of the exhibits and learn more about Aboriginal life. There were also various props for experiencing the exhibits. I happened to catch an insect dance activity when I went, and a large group of children were happily singing and dancing in the lobby on the first floor.”
Mandadadada:“Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.”
爱笑的宝哥:“With nine-year-old children who love painting to enjoy the works of French Impressionist painters more than 100 years ago, let children get edified in the paintings, ear-stained, record their favorite works with the camera, and continue to enjoy after returning home. This is the satisfaction that art brings to us. It can last a long time.”
我家宝贝最疼爱的猪:“The competition was very exciting. The price of the tickets was not much different from that sold on the Australian official website. Many of the matches were very exciting. I was very happy to be able to watch this competition, especially the preliminaries of the two men's and women's singles champions. I was really lucky hahahaha”
awu45:“Known as one of the most beautiful libraries in the southern hemisphere, the State Library of Victoria is definitely a must-see attraction in Melbourne. It was built in 1854 and combines classical architecture with modern facilities. The iconic Latrobe dome reading room is like a magic academy. Retro long tables and green table lamps are displayed under the octagonal dome, which is definitely a good place to take photos. There are more than 2 million books in the collection, including Chinese books. What's more valuable is that it is open to the public for free, and it is full of compatriots who come to check in.
🚶 Recommended tour route:
1️⃣ 📸 Check in the dome: Take the elevator directly to the 6th floor to take a panoramic view. The light shines through the glass dome, and the atmosphere is full. The best ones have to line up to take photos!
2️⃣ 🖼️ Exhibition area: Permanent historical manuscripts and theme special exhibitions, feel the cultural precipitation, many people come here to "pretend" to work hard!
3️⃣ ☕ Cafe break: The cafe in the museum is suitable for daydreaming, and it is more comfortable with the fragrance of books

🈺 Business hours: Monday to Thursday 10:00-21:00, Friday to Sunday 10:00-18:00.”
096***07:“Royal Arcade is in the heart of the city.
I made an appointment with a friend for afternoon tea at this century-old shop, and happened to walk around.
There are boutique shops along the way, one of which sells fortune-telling, magic wands, etc., which is quite interesting.
If there are many people at this afternoon tea shop, it is best to make an online reservation.
The scones are very good, and the pink cake is also delicious.
It is a very orthodox two-round high tea, and you can order different teas for each round. The first round of dim sum is three-layer tower, and the second round is scones”

飞飞翔的鱼123:“St. Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne was built in 1880. This Gothic church features pointed arches and flying buttresses, as if telling a series of historical stories. The cross-ribbed spires inside are like God's fingers, which can pluck the strings of people's hearts with a gentle wave. Here, it seems that we can hear the voice from the depths of history and feel the power of faith. Standing in front of St. Paul's Cathedral, we seem to be able to hear the voice from the depths of history and feel the power of faith. It's like standing on the top of a mountain, as if we can touch the sky closest to God.”

Natashazwin:“We had an amazing stay at Hotel Chadstone Melbourne MGallery Collection. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly, professional, and attentive, making us feel welcome and well cared for.
The room was beautifully styled, clean, and very comfortable perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and of high quality.
The absolute highlight of our stay was the swimming pool. It was stunning, with incredible views and a calm, luxurious atmosphere. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some quiet time.
The hotel’s location was also ideal, right next to Chadstone Shopping Centre, which made everything so convenient.
Overall, a truly 5-star experience. We will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Melbourne!”
VANESSA TIAN:“Lyf Collingwood was the perfect place to spend our last night in Melbourne after our trip from Healesville! The hotel is modern, stylish, and incredibly comfortable — ideal for all kinds of travelers.
The 24-hour reception was super helpful, especially with our 5am check-out before our early flight. The amenities had everything we needed, and even though it was a short one-night stay, it was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend for a convenient and comfortable city stay!”

HaiSheng0727:“The hotel is located in Melbourne CBD, overall is good. But not sure whether the room cleaning service is provided everyday cuz they never come to clean my room.”
Anonymous User:“This is probably one of the most affordable Park Hyatt Hotel in the world. Elegant & classic design. Love it.
The room access card was faulty & on a few occasions l had to replace it at the front desk. That was quite annoying after a long day out. The food service at the lobby lounge was terribly slow. It took more than 30 minutes for my food to arrive.”

没有蜡olling:“Have breakfast at Auction rooms. This shop used to be an auction house. It didn’t sell famous paintings and antiques, but second-hand furniture. Now it has become a popular coffee shop in Melbourne. The coffee is delicious☕️😋, and the breakfast is healthy and beautiful! ”
没有蜡olling:“The cafe you are willing to go to again must be a true love. I went there once before and thought it was great. This time, I went there with my friends and tried some new things and drinks. I still think it is great. The menu is interesting, the ingredients are fresh, the chef is stable, the appearance is online, and there is no need to queue. It is my favorite recently!
Recommended:
No.1 Peking Pork Pancake Sweet pork ribs and thinly sliced cucumbers, fried chives are wrapped in pancakes, and served with sweet and sour sauce. It is the kind of satisfaction of eating roast duck, which is loved by meat eaters.
No. 2 Hash Brown The homemade potato pancakes are mixed with a lot of spices, and the graininess is also good. The flavor and taste are taken into account. Potato lovers are satisfied. The poached egg is stable and the runny is just right. It is the best sauce. It is recommended to ask for Hollandaise on the side when ordering (that is, the yellow Dutch mayonnaise), otherwise it will be a bit greasy.
No. 3 Any Drink! Whether it is pure juice or mixed juice, it is freshly squeezed, with foam, and the taste and seasoning are very good! The same is true for coffee. Whether it is Cold Brew, Italian milk coffee or Iced Coffee, they all received full marks.
No.4 The friends also tried several salads. Breakfast Caprese is relatively refreshing, and happy buddha is richer because the sauce is based on mayonnaise. According to their feedback, they are all very good!
Recommended to friends who want to try niche coffee shops! It is not an Internet celebrity shop and there are not many tourists, so there is no need to queue!”
TheForkUser:“The service was fantastic and the food was even better. The price was great for the serving size. The pub its selve a great atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpfull We will be back again.”
pxy0705:“This coffee shop is located in the famous Victoria Market in Melbourne. The environment of the whole restaurant is very clean and bright. The hand-brewed coffee here is very famous in Australia. It is not only fragrant, but also has beautiful latte art, which definitely gives people a delicious artistic enjoyment.”
健康美丽的芳芳:“This dessert shop is considered a classic restaurant in the area. Their desserts are quite exquisite. Basically, you can finish one in two or three bites, and they are not particularly sweet.”
