Melbourne | Today's Check-ins 🌆

1️⃣ St Paul's Cathedral Just admired from outside—didn't go in this time! ⛪ 2️⃣ Flinders Street Station An ancient train station 🚂 with bustling crowds, surrounded by cute shops and eateries. 3️⃣ State Library Victoria ✨ MUST-VISIT! The solemn, elegant atmosphere took my breath away. So quiet yet powerful! 📚 4️⃣ Queen Victoria Market Honestly… not a fan. 🥲 Felt like an outdated open-air market—messy and unimpressive. Left in 2 mins! (Though I heard the bread & coffee are good ☕🥖) 5️⃣ Yarra River 🌟 Highly recommend! Right next to Flinders Station, lined with iconic buildings. Lively music barges 🎶, perfect for dining/chilling. Loved strolling along the green banks! 🌳 6️⃣ Royal Botanic Gardens 🌿 Another favorite! A 15-min walk from Flinders Station. Ancient, towering trees (some centuries old!) make you feel like you’re in a primeval forest. Photos can’t capture its grandeur—so I didn’t bother snapping much! 😌 Serene and uncrowded—spent a whole morning here. 7️⃣ Amazing Greek Restaurant! 🇬🇷 Locals’ top pick! Cozy 2-floor spot with great vibes & service. Food = 💯 (but pricey ~AUD 80/person). Worth it! (See pic 14 for name!) 8️⃣ Melbourne CBD Tips 👟 The city center is tiny (3x3 km)—walkable in a day! Free trams 🚃 within the zone, but check boundaries to avoid fines! 9️⃣ University of Melbourne 🎓 Didn’t make it this time—heard it’s stunning! Leaving a reason to return. 😉 #MelbourneDiaries #TravelAustralia #CityExplorer #Wanderlust
