When it comes to choosing a travel destination it is no easy thing to do, but if you chose Melbourne here are a few suggestions to help you maximize your time in this beautiful city.
Take a first-time orientation walk in Melbourne
If you’re visiting Melbourne on your own for the first time, this is a great place to start your city excursions. While these orientation walks are provided free of charge by volunteers, you must make a reservation at the visitor’s center in Federation Square. This free walk is a must-do activity that takes place every day, rain or shine.
The South Melbourne Beach is a must-see attraction in Melbourne
South Melbourne Beach is one of the Bay’s largest beaches, stretching west towards the Albert Park and Port Melbourne areas. Because it boasts white sand, clean waters, and a variety of playgrounds, the beach is a terrific spot for kids to visit. It is popular with tourists, locals, and athletes since it allows them to walk, run, swim, and engage in a variety of other sports in a peaceful setting. On the wide coastal reserves, there are also BBQ facilities, picnic spots, and pathways for bicycling and rollerblading. Instead of rushing home when the sun sets on the beach, go to one of the many cafés and restaurants within 5 minutes of South Melbourne Beach.

ACMI, which is located in Federation Square, presents moving images in a variety of formats, including exhibitions, festivals, films, and creative and educational workshops.

Here is the whole list of self-guided walks, which includes historical sites, lush green parklands, spectacular bridges, sculptures, the waterfront with a promenade walk along Southbank, arcades, and street art lanes in the city center.
Stop at Federation Square for a rest
This is where you’ll begin many of Melbourne’s activities and excursions. It’s a large square just across from Flinders Street Station with free internet, cafes, and museums. It used to be Melbourne’s main visitor center, however it was relocated due to renovations. This is Melbourne’s main square, which broadcasts live events including as the Australian Open and public festivals.
Pay a visit to the Melbourne Visitor Information Centre
Grab a copy of Melbourne What’s On, a free and informative guide to all activities and events taking place in Melbourne during your visit. The Visitor Centre has relocated from Federation Square to 90-130 Swanston Street, on the corner of Little Collins and Swanston Street.
Relax at Victoria’s State Library
The State Library is another important destination for solitary travelers in Melbourne. I always enjoy spending my time there, whether it’s to see a new exhibition, browse through books, sit in the reading lounge, or simply use the excellent free wi-fi. This is a great way to unwind in Melbourne.
Take a meal in Chinatown
If you haven’t already guessed, Melbourne is a foodie’s paradise. I enjoy eating in Chinatown because it is inexpensive, excellent, and there are always other single people there, so I never feel out of place. Shanghai Street, Shanghai Village, and ShanDong MaMa are among my favorite places to eat in Chinatown.
There’s no need to go vast distances; there are plenty of sights to visit in Melbourne’s beautiful countryside. Melbourne is difficult to top for the variety of sites and activities available within a short and pleasant drive of the city
