Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria - Melbourne Gardens

A popular outdoor recreation hotspot for locals and travelers alike, Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens is conveniently located in the heart of the city. Thousands of different plants are grown here, and you can discover new views with every entry. Ideal for a picnic with friends, a walk with your pets, or a romantic wedding with a beautiful view, there is elegance and nature all around the grounds. The most recommended tour is to slowly explore from the main entrance, focusing on several notable areas, including the Lakeside Garden, the Herb Garden and the Australian Botanical Area. There are plenty of lawns along the way for companions to sit and enjoy a picnic time together. If you prefer photography, you can take beautiful photos by the pool and in front of a large green grass. There are different varieties of flowers in the garden in different seasons. Keep an eye out for seasonal flowers. In terms of must-see spots, we recommend going to the small bridge in the center of the lake, where the nearby views are healing with reflections and waterfowl; There are wedding decorations in the garden from time to time, the atmosphere is romantic, plus the surrounding fresh environment, the whole person relaxed. Practical tips: 1. The Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne is open daily from 07:30 am to 17:30 pm (seasons may be slightly adjusted). 2. The park is very large, it is best to wear sneakers for easy walking, and bring a jacket in case the weather turns cold. 3. Pay attention to the rules with pet friends, such as using a dog leash to keep the environment clean. 4. D area has public washrooms, drinking machines and other equipment, remember to check the map to find the nearest Exit and facilities. Notes: - Fires and grills are prohibited in the garden, large tents or sound systems are not allowed to avoid affecting other visitors. - There may be wedding events during the holidays, some grasslands will be temporarily restricted access, you can keep an eye on official information or on-site arrangements in advance. - The weather in Melbourne is changing fast, it is recommended to check the weather forecast before departure.
