When we first reached Melbourne, we started our day with a leisurely stroll through Melbourne's laneways, known for their vibrant street art, charming cafes, and eclectic shops. We started from Hosier Lane and explored around laneways like AC/DC Lane and Degraves Street. 📍Federation Square, Melbourne VIC 3000, We also visited the iconic Queen Victoria Market, one of the largest open-air markets in the Southern Hemisphere. There were many stalls selling fresh produce, gourmet foods, clothing, souvenirs, and more. The market is definitely worth to visit 💯 Queen Victoria Market 📍Queen St, Melbourne VIC 3000. We also experienced Melbourne's cultural scene by attending a performance at one of its renowned theaters, such as the Melbourne Recital Centre and Arts Centre Melbourne. Do checked out their schedules for concerts, plays, or dance performances to prevent disappointment 🤣 Besides, we also took a scenic stroll along the Yarra River, starting at Southbank Promenade and crossing the pedestrian bridges for panoramic views of the city skyline. We accessed the Southbank Promenade from along the river and we also visited the most famous Brighton Beach to see the iconic Brighton Bathing Boxes, a row of colorful wooden huts lining the shore. We enjoy a very relaxing afternoon on the beach and took a swim in the refreshing waters of Port Phillip Bay. 📍Brighton Beach is located in the suburb of Brighton, accessible by train from Melbourne's city center I would also recommend you to try my favourite restaurant, Cumulus Inc. It is a popular dining spot located in Melbourne's central business district that has a contemporary Australian menu with a focus on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. This restaurant has relaxed atmosphere, stylish decor, and excellent service 🙌🙌 Prices vary depending on the menu items and drinks chosen, but we spent around $50-$70 AUD per person for a meal. The food was all very delicious and definitely worth to try out! Cumulus Inc. 📍45 Flinders Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia #vacation #Beach #getaway

#melbournetrip #visitmelbourne #melbourne #australia It’s winter time here Down Under but that means the beach is not as crowded as usual. It was a sunny 15 degree Celcius and I got myself out to Brighton Beach to check out those iconic colorful bathing boxes! It was relatively easy to get there with public bus, 5-10 minutes walk from the stop, and you’ll get there! As it is the only things to see at Brighton Beach, 15-30 minutes are probably enough if you don’t need to take photo on each of those boxes. You can head to some cafes around, just make sure to be there before 3PM because the cafes close early. How to Get There : drive, take taxi, or take public Bus 600, 922 or 923 (pay attention to the schedule though, it only comes every 20-30mins)

#wecreate memories on this beach! 🤩 Just 20min away by car from the city, it was a good place to getaway to chill and enjoy the seaside. The colourful beachhouses are the highlight and are absolutely eye-catching! With a variety of themes, one can pose with them depending on one’s creativity! There is a parking lot nearer the Brighton Beach Gardens as the parking lot for the beach itself is under maintenance. Do remember to pay for parking at the machine ✅ There are benches to sit around to take in the scenery. Bring sunnies on a bright day to better enjoy the sight! Once you’ve had your fill of the seabreeze, head over to Swordfish Chippery for some yummy fish and chips! They even offer banana and pineapple fritters…I was curious but not enough to spend on fried pineapple 😂 If you do try it, could you let me know?

Well, how can I claim to be in Melbourne when I don't visit the famous Brighton Bathing Box! I took an uber there and it was freezing the day I went. One of the tiny boxes was sold for $700,000 during the period I went. Based on information, people purchase the boxes here to keep their surfing equipment in the box as this is a popular place for surfing during the summer. Many of the boxes are painted artistically. Great to chill here if the weather allows! If not, I will suggest just spending 15 minutes here to take some photos and enjoy the sea breeze. #australiatrip

I was excited to visit this place for the colourful "boxes" along the beach. It is a good spot for photo taking, and it is free entrance fees. It is also one of the icons in visiting Melbourne.

Brighton Beach in Melbourne is a beautiful beach lined with 96 colorful huts. It is about 40 minutes by train from the city, so it is very easy to access. I took the Sandringham Line from Flinders Street Station to Brighton Beach Station, and then walked to the beach. The beach is lined with huts that have been used as changing rooms for beachgoers since the late 19th century, and are now used as private villas. The view of the colorful huts lined up is really photogenic, and you will want to take lots of photos✨ The beach has a calm atmosphere and quiet time flows, making it perfect for solo travelers. Especially in the morning and evening, the changing light makes the scenery even more attractive. [How to get there] - Take the Sandringham Line from Flinders Street Station to Brighton Beach Station (travel time: about 25 minutes). - A 10-15 minute walk from Brighton Beach Station will take you to the beach. #0yentravel2025January #overseasseasonalplaces #australia #melbourne

#beachtime You can come to Melbourne - go to Brighton beach~ What is more distinctive is the rainbow the cottage, which is very good for taking photos. The whole coast is in Australia is a little more average. Because it's too sunny, it is recommended to play after 5:00 p.m., so that you can see the beautiful sunset ---The sand on the beach is not very delicate, and there are quite a lot of broken shells. It is recommended to wear shoes well. March 11th happens to be the end of the high temperature for three consecutive days, so the sea temperature is not bad. It is estimated that it is a little cold at ordinary times!
