Itinerary

Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia, bids you 'Wominjeka' (meaning ‘welcome' in the language of the Wurundjeri people, the Traditional Owners of the Melbourne area). From its founding in 1835, Melbourne has grown into one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, celebrated for its rich history, vibrant arts scene, and buzzing nightlife.

You'll be greeted on arrival at the airport before enjoying a comfortable transfer to your accommodation, The Voco Melbourne Central. The remainder of the day is yours to unwind or discover Melbourne's vibrant laneways, cafes and riverfront.

Accommodation: The Voco Melbourne Central

After breakfast, join a local guide for a city walking tour - the perfect way to experience Melbourne. As your guide shares insights into the city's history and culture, visit iconic spots like Flinders Street Station, Chinatown, and Hosier Lane.

Afterwards, embark on a guided tour of Queen Victoria Market, a Melbourne landmark with over 145 years of history. Once the city's wholesale hub, the "Queen Vic" has evolved into a vibrant food lover's paradise, brimming with fresh produce, gourmet treats, artisanal products, and street food from around the world. Your guide will lead the way through the bustling food halls, uncovering local highlights and international bites, offering a feast of ingredients that celebrate Melbourne's multicultural spirit.

From Melbourne's cosmopolitan CBD, you may choose to join an optional excursion to the natural wonders of Phillip Island.

Enhance Your Journey - Visit Philip Island In Philip Island, visit the Koala Conservation Reserve where elevated boardwalks offer the chance to observe koalas in their natural habitat, alongside native birdlife and bushland species.
