Melbourne

What is better? Sydney or Melbourne? The answer does not exists or better, it depends for the tastes.

The Mercure Melbourne Spring Street very good compromise between price and position. The downtown is limited by Spring St., Flinder St., La Trobe St. and Spencer St. From one end to the other it takes 30 minutes walking. Fo the laziest there is the red cable car line for free.

Federation Square, main square of the city it is very modern. In fact it has been recentrly renewed in 2002. In keen modern style could not to like but seeing it day by day it is easy to change mind.

Observation Deck - Rialto Towers: it's a must! Once bought the ticket you can go back in the same day. Melbourne deserves to be saw by day, during sunset and by night. The price is 14,50 AUD.

I was astonish from the order and the cleanliness. Crowded but without mess it is a place where to buy the gifts and to buy at a very reasonable price: smoothies, sandwitch, hash house. Everything of very good quality. If you want to buy a boomerang that's the right place: bt now they are all made in mass production and painted with a little of fantasy.

Shrine of Remembrance was built in 1934 and it is a war memorial dedicated to the deaths of all the wars, It is in St. Kilda treet. Dipped in the greenery, its silence and the neoclassic architecture make it a suggestive place even if inside the city.

Royal Arcade, between Little Collins St. and Elizabeth St. the Royal Arcade is the second commercial arcade of Melbourne. Its construction ended in 1870.

State Houses of Parliament, built during the English Empire it is the Victoria State Parliament.

The Fitzroy is a block different from Melbourne downtown at a glance even if it is just 10 minutes walking from it. The Fitzroy is the block of the artists and of the bars before disco.

The Crown Tower and Casino hosts the biggest bet room of the southern hemisphere, 5 discos, countless restaurants, caffee rooms and fast food. There is all you need to enjoy the night.
