10 days in Melbourne Itinerary

The state of Victoria crown jewel, Melbourne boasts shaded streets, leafy residential neighborhoods, vibrant street life, and a picturesque city center.

Venture out of the city with trips to Sovereign Hill (in Ballarat), The Great Ocean Road (in Torquay) and Wildlife Coast Cruises (in Cowes). On the 8th (Sat), spend a fun day on foot with Walking tours. Dedicate the 11th (Tue) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's much more to do: admire the natural beauty at Royal Botanic Gardens, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Werribee Open Range Zoo, indulge in some personalized pampering at some of the best spas, and take in panoramic vistas at Eureka Skydeck.
