No Holiday In Melbourne Is Complete Without A Visit To These Top 5 Attractions

By Michael Taylor

Whenever you are visiting a new region of the world it is important to put some of the most outrageous landmarks on the list of things that you must see. Melbourne , Australia is a region filled with spectacular sights to see but making sure that you hit the hot spots will be the most important thing you can do to make sure that you have a full Melbourne experience.

1. Rialto Towers & Observation Deck - While this is Melbourne s tallest building is one of two such opportunities to the tower above this amazing city. The Eureka Skydeck 88 is the other. And while the building will settle for less just seems appropriate to go as high as you can while on their adventure in Melbourne. I recommend taking in only one of these two sites because, while the views are breathtaking view from the top of two different buildings is really disappointing.

2. The Melbourne Cricket Ground - One of the most popular attractions is also one of the oldest. First opened in 1853, the Melbourne Cricket Ground is an attraction year-round to challenge many Aussie Rules football and international cricket matches. The MCG is a must when visiting Melbourne.

3. OLD MELBOURNE Gaol - This building is a vestige of a bygone era of history. Opened in 1841, this structure is former Victorian existing prison. The original structure of this building is still standing and is one of the pieces of history in the region because that is where Ned Kelly was hanged back in 1880.

4. BRIGHTON BEACH - Brighton Beach is more than just a beach it is a water front property that is clean and lined with some adorable little bathing box houses that are all decorated differently and run down the beautiful white sand beach. This beach front area is patrolled and is a fun way to take a break from city life and get your feet wet.

5. FUNFIELDS - While this is an amusement attraction there is good reason why this one makes the list of the top five Melbourne attractions. Very simply it is because you can ride a toboggan and there are too many places where you can have an experience like this at an amusement attraction. A fun place to spend an afternoon of fun and a great way to feel a little bit of that Aussie Adventurer course through your veins.
