Melbourne is truly a stunning city to see in person, known as the country’s ‘cultural capital’. From gleaming skyscrapers, cobblestone laneways, to the sapphire oceanfront nearby, the views of Melbourne are sure to take your breath away. But where exactly should you go to see Melbourne at its finest? Here are our top best viewpoints in Melbourne, to see the city in all its glory.
Eureka Tower
What better place to visit for a spectacular view than Melbourne’s tallest skyscraper around? Stretching up to 297 metres that measures up to 88 separate floors, with the top floor being the popular Skydeck which offers 360-degree views of the entire region. Letting you see not just the bustling city below, but the outer regions of both the outer suburbs, bushland, and nearby coastal area. There are multiple activities to enjoy while at the Skydeck, including an outdoor balcony, a thrilling clear glass room that juts out from the building and even a bar!
Yarra Boat Cruise
The Yarra River of Melbourne weaves through the heart of the city, sliding past the stunning skyscrapers and the main attractions dotted about. Enjoy a unique way of seeing these sites by hopping on a boat for the afternoon, either hiring out a boat to self-drive or hop on a guided boat cruise. Slowly drift down the river and enjoy a delicious dinner and drinks while the day slowly turns to night.
St Kilda Pier
St Kilda is by far one of Melbourne’s prettiest suburbs, being nestled right alongside the beachfront. Featuring soft golden sands, and plenty of restaurants and bars lined against the coast, St Kilda has many great viewpoints to enjoy. However, undoubtedly the best is the pier, being the heart of the region that is perfect for a romantic sunset stroll. You can even try your luck at spotting the colony of little penguins that make their way onto the beach after a long day fishing in the waters.
