  • I did not get to go on a tour, they were not available the day I walked over to see it. Very easy to walk from the central station, or take a tram.

  • The Melbourne Parliament is a beautiful and historic building located in the heart of the city. It is home to the Victorian Legislative Assembly and the Victorian Legislative Council, which are the two houses of the Parliament of Victoria. The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, with its grand neoclassical design and impressive Corinthian columns. The interior is equally impressive, with its ornate chambers and grand hallways. Visitors to the Parliament can take a tour of the building, which allows them to see the chambers and learn about the history and function of the Parliament. Overall, the Melbourne Parliament is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the city. It is a testament to the history and democracy of Victoria, and it is a beautiful and impressive building to behold.
  • Beautiful architecture but currently part of the building at the front is undergoing renovation. If catching the city circle tram, they may stop here for 10 minutes, enough time to give you some photo ops
