Market and museums in the city – Visit Us in Melbourne

Some coffee/brekkie (breakfast) Melbourne-style, fresh food and fruits at the market for lunch, and then a whole afternoon at the museum for a full day’s worth of activities.

Time	Activity
9:00AM	Breakfast and coffee at a nearby cafe
10:00AM	Take the tram to Queen Victoria Market. Take a stroll around the market. Look at the stalls for some Aussie souvenirs or goods. Buy cheese from the European stalls. Try the donuts.

Try to eat a few things so you don’t get hungry during your museum visit.
11:00AM	Travel to Flinders Street Station
11:20AM	Cross the street from Flinders Street Station and go to ACMI, and find out what exhibits are on for the day.
12:30PM	From ACMI (which is at the Federation Square), walk to the National Gallery of Victoria – You will cross the Princes Bridge above the Yarra River – You will also pass by the Arts Centre Melbourne – There are various dining options at the museum you can choose from based on your budget. Check the website for the menus and make sure you book if required. Buy tickets for the museum or any exhibits that require additional fees. Take your time and enjoy the day. You can leave your bags at the lockers.
4:30PM	Wrap up your visit and prepare to head back to your hotel. On the way back, you may choose to take a stroll beside the Yarra River and find some dining options at the nearby Southgate shopping mall.
	You may go back to your hotel to freshen up and rest a little before heading out to dinner. Just important to note that on most days, kitchens have a closing time (earlier than the actual restaurant closing time) so it is best to go to a restaurant for dinner by 7PM at the latest so you have enough time to order before the kitchens close.
