Recent months have been the best tourist season in Australia. Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to the tourist information here in Melbourne, mainly the price level here and what's interesting here. Let's take a look!

Melbourne's consumption level

The price level in Melbourne is slightly lower than that in Sydney, but it is also higher than that in remote cities, which belongs to the middle level. A regular set meal in Melbourne restaurant is about 18 Australian dollars, and a cup of coffee is about 6 Australian dollars.

It is quite common to use bank cards to make purchases in Australia. From shopping in the supermarket to eating fast food, you can almost pay by credit card with Visa and Mastercard logo. UnionPay cards can also be used in many places, but many places don't accept Diners or American Express credit cards.

At present, ATMs of most banks in Australia and ATMs of 7-Eleven can accept UnionPay card business.

What's interesting about Melbourne

1. Diversified architecture and rich immigrant culture

Because Melbourne relies on many immigrants in its development history, rich immigrant culture is reflected in Melbourne's diverse architectural art styles. You may not know that the number of Victorian buildings in Melbourne is second only to London in the world, and Gothic architecture is also quite interesting.

There are many new and ancient buildings in the center of Mexico, which represent the development history of the city. They complement each other and form a unique scene. Laigong Street is known as "Little Italy", and there are many Italian cultures and Italian buildings brought by Italian immigrants from generation to generation nearby.

In Heidelberg and other areas where German descendants gather, there are also various German-style buildings. In addition, Melbourne is also known as the "city of churches" in the southern hemisphere. There are many cathedrals left over from the Victorian era, including the famous Wesleyan Church, St Paul's Cathedral, Scottish Cathedral, St bartlett's Bishop's Cathedral and St Michael's United Church.

The Royal Exhibition Hall, located in Caton Garden in the northeast of Mexico City, is the first building in Australia to be rated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

2. The world's largest tram system and free ride area

You must take a tram to Melbourne, which has the world's largest tram system and is the only city in Australia with trams (the tram in Sydney is the sightseeing line). These lines cover almost all the main roads in the downtown business district, and some lines extend to the zoo or St. Kilda Beach.

most trams run every few minutes during peak hours, and there are fewer trains at night and weekends, but the interval is generally less than ten minutes. In addition to the previous free tram No.35, Melbourne has also set up a free tram area in the city center.

trams are free in this area. Every tram stop in this area has a sign of free tram zone. It is worth noting that you must swipe your card from the free area to the charging area, otherwise you will be punished.

Free Tram Route Map No.35

Tip:

Free Tram Route No.35 starts from Docklands and surrounds Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD), stopping at all platforms along the way, and vehicles pass clockwise and counterclockwise. The operation time is 1:-18: from Sunday to Wednesday, and 1:-21: from Thursday to Saturday, and there is a bus every 12 minutes during the operation.

Different from other lines, the tram around the city still retains the tram model of 5 or 6 years ago, which is very historical in itself. In addition, there is an audio broadcast on the bus, which introduces the landmarks and main attractions passing by, which is almost a must-see experience for travelers all over the world.

3. Natural landscape: hot air balloon, Dayang Road, Penguin Island

In Melbourne, you can experience the only sightseeing hot air balloon in Australia. Besides, you can't bear to miss the beautiful scenery of Dayang Road. Although it's a little far from downtown, it's famous.

This coastal highway from Melbourne sometimes passes through beautiful beaches, sometimes hangs on a cliff tens of meters by the sea, and sometimes winds in virgin forests. The magnificent coastline in the southern hemisphere and the "Twelve Disciples" standing in the sea will leave countless shocking movies in your lens and mind.

Another big star in Melbourne is the Little Blue Penguin. On Phillip Island in Melbourne, you can watch Oamaru, the smallest penguin in the world, swim out of the sea in droves, stagger across the beach and return to their nests. Cute enough to be cute.

Well, I hope this article can help my friends who are going to Melbourne. I wish you all a pleasant journey!
