A visit to the Shrine of Remembrance or the Royal Botanic Gardens is a must together with a visit at the St. Paul's Cathedral. These are buy a few of the must see places in Melbourne but if you really want to go out of the city then an hour's drive towards Yarra Valley is a must. You can rent out a Jeep in Melbourne and start exploring the city and see how the locals enjoy their place.
Yarra Valley is Melbourn e's wine country. The place has one of the best vineyards in this side of the world and they have been producing wines that are at par with the standard. There are day trips that can bring you in and out of Yarra Valley but a do-it-yourself excursion is an adventure in itself. You can visit a local tourism office and ask for a list of the must-see places in Yarra Valley and explore the place on your own. If you are just beginning to appreciate wines, then some wineries offer wine appreciation classes that can help you expand your understanding of wines.
