Top tips for Paris to Melbourne
Get a bird’s eye view
When it comes to scaling heights, Paris has the iconic Eiffel Tower. For a panoramic view of Melbourne, head to the Eureka Tower. The observation deck, the Skydeck, is on the 88th floor and gives a unique bird’s eye view of the city and the surrounding bay. It’s unmissable – but you’ll need a head for heights.
Take a serene river cruise
Just like a boat trip along the Seine, a great way to get an alternative view of Melbourne is from the water. A number of tour operators will take you along the Yarra River. It’s a relaxing way to see the city, especially if you include a waterside restaurant stop-off.
