Ming Shen Tham If youre looking for breathtaking views of Melbourne and beyond, the Melbourne Skydeck is an absolute must-visit! Located on the 88th floor of the Eureka Tower, it offers unparalleled panoramic views of the city skyline, the Yarra River, and, on clear days, even as far as the Dandenong Ranges and Port Phillip Bay. The experience begins as soon as you step into the elevator. The ride up is smooth and quick, taking you to the top in under a minute. Once you step out, you’re greeted by the glass-enclosed observation deck that stretches 360 degrees around the tower. The views are truly spectacular, whether it’s during the day, where the city sparkles with life, or at night, when Melbourne’s lights dazzle in all directions. One of the standout features of the Skydeck is "The Edge" – a glass cube that extends out from the side of the building, offering a thrilling and unique experience as you stand suspended above the city. For those looking for something a bit more relaxed, there are comfortable seating areas where you can simply enjoy the view. For photography enthusiasts, this is an absolute dream. The views are perfect for capturing stunning cityscapes, especially during the golden hour when the sun sets behind the skyscrapers. The space is also well-maintained, clean, and offers helpful staff who are eager to answer questions and share tips for maximizing the experience. Additionally, the Melbourne Skydeck offers interactive displays and informative panels, which can be fun for both adults and kids. You’ll learn a lot about Melbourne’s history, landmarks, and the construction of the Eureka Tower itself.

Tony Wenz Nice spot for a walk. Take the dog to the dog beach on the left side ⛱️ Acland Street is nearby, as is Lunar Park. Formerly known as Brooks Jetty.

ATN KSD Walking down Collins Street in Melbourne, I felt a mix of excitement and admiration. The elegant blend of historic charm and modern sophistication made it feel like the heart of the city. The grand architecture, from the beautiful Block Arcade to the impressive Scots’ Church, gave the street a timeless character. I loved the energy—the hum of conversations from stylish cafés, the quiet elegance of luxury boutiques, and the steady rhythm of city life. Whether it was enjoying a peaceful coffee, admiring the heritage buildings, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Collins Street left me feeling inspired and connected to Melbourne’s unique charm.

amit kapuria 5 Stars – A Truly Divine Experience ISKCON Melbourne is a spiritual gem in the heart of the city. The temple is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and filled with divine energy. The deities are stunning and the daily aartis and kirtans uplift the soul. The devotees are welcoming and always ready to help newcomers feel at home. The Sunday Feast is a highlight – delicious vegetarian food served with love, accompanied by inspiring talks and joyous chanting. It’s more than just a place of worship; it’s a community that promotes peace, compassion, and devotion. Highly recommended for anyone seeking spiritual growth, cultural connection, or just a peaceful break from daily life.

Mate Antolos Very lucky to find this little gem 4.2 km from the Melbourne CBD. Parking along Alexandra Avenue or close to Como Landing where the punt ferry operates on Saturday and Sunday and public holidays from 11-4 pm. Free ferry as well as entry to the island. Opposite is a lovely cafe called Kanteen. As well as the walking paths there are sculptures and picnic and bbq facilities. There are also toilets and the old scout hall which is a gallery. Worth the visit in this cost of living crisis. Also note the island can be hired for private events.

Andreas Ludwig Stunning park and lake. Lots of space to exercise, relax, walk the dog or just enjoy the news and the weather. My dog and I had some hours to kill, waiting for my wife, and used the time to walk around the lake. Wonderful views, rest areas and views. Very happy 2 hours!

Shawn Zhang A wonderful spot to watch the sunset, Melbourne skyline, and people, lots of people. Very busy over the long weekend, and probably most weekends too. Parking right at the lookout can be tricky to find, but if you are happy to walk 10 minutes, then you should be fine. Still worth the trip as the view is beautiful!

Melvin Romain Lovely little Park in the middle of St Kilda. Very nice to spend some good time with friends around nature
