9 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Melbourne side-trips: The Great Ocean Road (in Torquay), Mandalay Golf Course (in Beveridge) and Werribee Open Range Zoo (in Werribee). Dedicate the 27th (Mon) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's much more to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Royal Botanic Gardens, get lost in a book at State Library of Victoria, take in panoramic vistas at Eureka Skydeck 88, and see the interesting displays at Melbourne Museum.
