Top tips for New York to Melbourne
Explore the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria
Discover 94 acres of lush gardens, lakes and lawns right in the heart of Melbourne. Much like New York’s Central Park, Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens provide a lush green space away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. Take a walk around Guilfoyle’s Volcano, visit the Melbourne Observatory and explore over 50,000 plants in the 30 plant collections.
Take in the views from the Eureka Skydeck
There’s no better place to view a city than from up high. In New York, it’s from the Empire State Building – in Melbourne, it’s from the Eureka Skydeck. Located 285 metres above ground, the observation deck boasts 360° views of the city. For the ultimate experience, step inside The Edge – a glass cube which extends out from the 88th floor.
