Travel

Enjoy Australia's most liveable city and make like a local with the very best map to Lonely Planet's home town. <br>Highlights of the city found on this map include: <br>- Federation Square - The striking Federation Square is Melbourne's public hub, imbued with a healthy cultural heart.<br>- St. Kilda - St. Kilda is Melbournes' good time suburb: its lush seaside surrounds are constantly in the limelight, replete with a reputation for a seamier side.<br>- Melbourne Museum - Experience the Melbourne Museum, and let go of the idea that museums are fusty old spaces with a typed card placed in front of a few fossils.<br>- Royal Botanic Gardens - Certainly the finest botanic gardens in Australia, and among the finest in the world, this is one of Melbournes' most glorious attractions.<br>- National Gallery of Victoria - The NGVI reopened in 2003 after extensive renovations. The stunning framework of enormous walls, rough concrete columns, and skylights rival the art contained within.<br>- Brunswick Street - The inner suburb of Fitzroy condenses a lifetime of outings into one neighborhood.<br>
