Melbourne is a wonderful city to visit and however long your stay, it will never seem long enough. It is known as the ‘garden city’ of Australia and even if you only visited its parks and gardens, let alone the galleries and museums, theatres and landmarks it would still need weeks. Any Melbourne serviced apartment will be a stone’s throw from something fascinating.

Melbourne city centre (center) apartments are a wonderful starting point to explore this vibrant city. Unlike many other Australian towns, there is no real height restriction to the buildings, so the waterfront is an amazing collection of ultra-high-rise and seen from the far bank of the Yarra River at night it is truly spectacular. As one of Australia’s oldest cities, Melbourne has more than its fair share of Victorian buildings and these have been incorporated into the city scene to good effect. Stepping out from your Melbourne serviced residence will be an architectural adventure on its own.

Even if you are not staying in a Melbourne holiday rental for the culture of the city, you really must see the National Gallery of Victoria. Not only is the collection housed there truly stunning, its Great Hall has a stained glass ceiling that has to be seen to be believed. If television is more your thing, you won’t have far to walk from your Melbourne self-catered apartment or aparthotel to reach the set of Neighbours – Ramsay Street in all its glory.

Shopping in Melbourne is a varied experience, from the ‘laneway culture’ of Centre Place, reminiscent of the Shambles in York, England, to modern shopping malls. A Melbourne holiday rental will give you an opportunity to try out all sorts of different experiences in this lovely city. There are many annual events in Melbourne and if you are interested in ballet, theatre or film it is worth timing your Melbourne apartment rental to coincide with one which is to your taste. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is often televised worldwide as a perfect showcase of stand-up comedy, but how much better it would be to enjoy it live. As the home of Australian film – Mad Max was filmed here – the Film Festival is very important to Melbourne and a short stay apartment would be ideal at this time of year.

Temperatures in Melbourne can reach a stifling 46°C in summer, but most buildings are air conditioned and a walk in one of the many parks bordering the river will cool things down before you return Melbourne holiday apartment to get ready for a night on the town.
