🌟 Melbourne Travel Guide: How to Experience the Cultural Capital ☕️

After a week in Sydney, I returned to my beloved "Cat City" (Melbourne)—a place filled with study memories! Here’s my curated guide to exploring Melbourne like a local: 💡 Visa & Entry Same as Sydney (see previous guide). 💰 Money & Spending ✔ Avoid airport currency exchanges (high fees)—use Bank of Melbourne in the city. ✔ Withdraw AUD via NAB/ANZ ATMs (UnionPay accepted). ✔ Card payments widely accepted. 📱 SIM Cards At arrivals: Telstra (best coverage), Optus, or Vodafone ($20–30 AUD). 🚃 Transport Myki Card: $7 fee + top-up (works on trams/trains/buses). Free Tram Zone = look for green signs! SkyBus: $22 AUD one-way to Southern Cross Station. Rideshare: Uber (30% cheaper than taxis). ☕️ Must-Eat Top 5 1️⃣ Patricia Coffee Brewers ☕️ Best Flat White in Melbourne! 2️⃣ Hookah Lounge 🦞 Buttery lobster rolls by Southbank. 3️⃣ Hardware Société 🍳 French baked eggs with truffle (arrive before 10:30 AM to skip queues). 4️⃣ Pidapipó 🍦 Authentic Italian gelato. 📸 Top Attractions 1️⃣ Flinders Street Station Golden-hour photography spot + historic trams. 2️⃣ Hosier Lane 🎨 World-famous graffiti alley (wear solid colors for photos!). 3️⃣ Royal Botanic Gardens 🌿 CBD oasis with black swans and rainbow lorikeets. 4️⃣ Great Ocean Road 🌊 Join a tour (~$120 AUD) for the 12 Apostles + Loch Ard Gorge (helicopter rides recommended!). 5️⃣ Brighton Bathing Boxes 🌈 82 pastel beach huts—perfect for JP-style photos. 🎪 Hidden Gems ▪ Queen Victoria Market Night Market (Wed 5–10 PM): Global street food + live music. ▪ Melbourne Star Observation Wheel: Romantic night views. ▪ ACMI: Free interactive film exhibits. ▪ MCG Stadium Tour: Behind-the-scenes for sports fans. #MelbourneGuide #AustraliaTravel #StudyAbroadLife
