However, do not let our desire to visit there until the tide. Below are 8 free attractions in Melbourne which can be visited.
1. Trem City Circle
The tram is one of the transportation mainstay of this city, especially around the city center. To cater to tourists, the state government of Victoria has provided a tram around the city (city circle) that surrounds a free business center and downtown.
This tram route is Flinders Street> Harbour Esplanade> Docklands Drive> La Trobe Street> Victoria Street> Nicholson Street> Spring Street> Flinders Street and opposite direction. Information given in the tram attractions are skipped. I recommend you the first time to Melbourne for this free tram ride. You can ride the tram at the places marked "city circle". It is very easy.

There is no other place in Melbourne that can rival the Queen Victoria Market or commonly referred to VicMart affairs shop. If you do not feel like shopping, the streets of the market is also quite fun, really. VicMart selling souvenirs, clothes, vegetables, fruits and so forth.

The beach is also one of the icons ternyaman cities in the world. St Kilda beach is only located about 6 km from the city center. One of the hallmarks of this beach is a grassy gardens and palm trees around the beach, so when the sun is too hot you just take shelter under a tree while sitting on the grass.
