Saint Patrick's Cathedral, a beautiful church you might stumble upon while exploring Melbourne's CBD, is a stunning example of Gothic Revival architecture with a distinct British flair. The church features unique bell towers and stained glass windows, with an exterior made of bluestone that gives it a grand and solemn appearance. Saint Patrick's Cathedral is the tallest church in Australia and is conveniently located in Melbourne's city center, near Parliament House and Cook's Cottage, making it easy to visit all these attractions together. The interior of the cathedral is equally majestic and solemn, following a traditional east-west axis with the altar at the eastern end, symbolizing the resurrection of Christ.

#thingstodo As a Christian country, there are many beautiful churches in Australia and the St Patrick’s Cathedral which is the mother church of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne that built on 1858 is definitely one of the most impressive building 👍🏻👍🏻 Highly recommend whoever visiting to Melbourne to spend some time here, take some beautiful picture and you wont be disappointed for sure ❤️ Opening: Mon - Fri: 7 am - 5 pm Sat: 7 am - 7 pm Sun: 7 am - 7.30 pm Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I had a great morning at the old Eastern Hill Fire Station, it's like a time capsule, and it totally fascinated me. 🫶🏻 The station has a few activities too. You can put on some old uniforms, there's a giftshop, interactive displays about the history of fire fighting in Melbourne etc. 👀 I learned things I did not know before. It’s such an extensive collection of memorabilia there are a number of items not kept on site as there is no room for everything! All the displays are diligently labelled and volunteer staff happy to chat and explain anything further. 🥰 Will take around 45 minutes to see and read everything. Had a great time here, really recommended 👍🏻✨ #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom

Address - St Patrick's Centre 486 Albert Street East Melbourne VIC 3002 Highlights - A place of worship for the Catholics. Such a beautiful and elegant church, blessed place to explore. There are benches outside for you to sit and meditate… and reflect. Visit the bookshop at the side of the Cathedral. They have some nice stuff for you to purchase.

#australiaroadtrip Melbourne is such a vibrant and diverse city! It's known for its incredible food scene, arts and culture, and beautiful parks and gardens. You can explore the famous laneways filled with street art, visit world-class museums and galleries, or catch a game at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. Plus, the shopping is fantastic, with places like Melbourne Central offering a mix of high-end and unique local stores. There's always something exciting happening in Melbourne!

#newyearnewtrip Oh, Fitzroy Gardens, you had me at "conservatory." Seriously, this place is pure magic. Wandering through the lush greenery, I felt like I'd stepped into a Victorian romance novel. The Sir Redmond Barry Rotunda practically screams for a dramatic declaration of love, and the fairy tree? Don't even get me started on the cuteness overload. I spent a blissful afternoon getting lost in the maze of paths, admiring the meticulously manicured flowerbeds (especially the roses – swoon!), and pretending I was a character in a Jane Austen novel. The miniature Tudor Village is ridiculously charming, and Captain Cook's Cottage? A fascinating glimpse into history. Whether you're looking for a romantic stroll, a family outing, or just a peaceful escape from the city buzz, Fitzroy Gardens is the perfect place to find your happily ever after (or at least a really good Instagram photo).

Today, start from La Trobe Street, take Route 35 (every 12 minutes, clockwise, ends at 5pm, with maps on board, old-fashioned decor). Pass Flagstaff Gardens, Old Melbourne Gaol, Carlton Gardens (very beautiful, the building behind is the Exhibition Hall, and behind that is the Melbourne Museum), continue on Route 35 for 2 stops to Parliament Station, where there are free 45-minute guided tours on weekdays, limited to 25 people, you need to queue at the entrance in advance. Having just missed the 12pm tour, I continued on Route 35 for 2 stops to Flinders Street and got off at Federation Square (the tram passes Old Treasury Building and Treasury Gardens). Federation Square is right next to ACMI, which has exhibitions on light and shadow and the origins of film, worth a visit. Diagonally opposite is St Paul's Cathedral, and diagonally opposite that is Flinders Street Station. Due to time constraints, I took a quick tour of the cathedral and then headed back. I walked back to Parliament at 1:30pm, but still missed the 2pm tour, so I had to queue for the 3pm tour. Many people were taking wedding photos here. Security checks, passport registration, and bag storage start at 2:30pm. The front hall, the Parliament Chamber (one side represents the government, the other side the opposition), the rooftop Parliament Garden, the library (1861), the legal chamber, this nearly 1-hour tour is well worth it. Then take Route 109 to LUNE on Collins Street, card payment only, ordered an almond croissant, AUD 11.8, with almond syrup inside, quite delicious. Then walk to the NGV Australia next to Federation Square, the 2nd floor is Australian art, the 3rd floor is an exhibition of famous painters. A 5-minute walk takes you to Hoisier Lane graffiti street. Take Route 19 to Queen Victoria Market Station, this is the nearest free tram stop to the University of Melbourne, get off and continue walking 1 km, in about 10 minutes you will reach the University of Melbourne. Return to Flinders Street, have a steak, and wait for sunset. On Friday nights, there are concerts at Federation Square, very lively, from Princes Bridge you can see the Yarra River, on one side you can see the Australian Open venue, on the other side you can see Queen's Bridge, view Southbank, the night view is nice.

#Overseas travel #Melbourne #Fitzroy 🇦🇺 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 💚 Fitzroy Gardens I'm introducing Fitzroy Gardens, which I happened to visit while walking from Richmond to Melbourne City during my trip to Melbourne, Australia. It rained once on the day I visited Fitzroy Gardens, so the damp rain smell made it even more charming. After the rain, the green scent of Melbourne became even stronger. I walked through Fitzroy Gardens, which is full of green trees, and the smell of the trees was so good. I could hear the birds singing, so it was just ecstatic. It's about a 10-minute walk from Melbourne City Center, so if you want to enjoy nature in the city, be sure to visit Fitzroy Gardens 💚

#australiatrip Can you also feel that Gothic architecture is cool in Australia?? This is St. Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne, which was officially opened as a Catholic church in 1897. Although this may not have the same long history as some European cathedrals, it is still a landmark with significant historical value in Melbourne, and the towering tower makes it known as the largest church in the southern hemisphere. The architectural style of this church is the Gothic style mentioned in the title. As a traveler, as soon as I approach the range of the church, I feel like I have traveled from downtown Melbourne to Europe in the last century

| St. Patrick's Cathedral. 🌈Gothic Cathedral in Melbourne St. Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne is a Catholic church that officially opened in 1897. Although its history is not as long as some of the ancient cathedrals in Europe, it is one of Melbourne's landmarks and is known for having the tallest church spire in the Southern Hemisphere. The church's architecture is Gothic, making you feel like you've traveled back to medieval Europe. 🌈The Unique Charm of Gothic Architecture Gothic architecture is an art style that was popular in Europe from the 13th to 15th centuries, known for its dark and elegant characteristics. Gothic architecture is often associated with mysterious themes such as vampires and noble aristocrats. The black and gold color scheme of St. Patrick's Cathedral gives it a mysterious vampire castle vibe, and even when surrounded by the blue skies, white clouds, and green plants of a modern city, its unique Gothic style is still hard to miss. ❤My Visit Experience Although ancient architecture can be seen everywhere on the streets of Melbourne, St. Patrick's Cathedral stands out from afar with its height and shape. Once you enter the church grounds, it's like stepping into a quiet park. The church is open to visitors at specific times, but photography is usually not allowed inside, which made me respect its solemn atmosphere as a religious sanctuary. 📚The Unique Feeling of Traveling Alone I visited the church alone that day, and as someone who is fascinated by this type of architecture, I stayed there for over an hour. On one hand, I was waiting for the right light to take satisfactory photos, and on the other hand, I was reluctant to leave because of the church's tranquility and harmony. The freedom of traveling alone allowed me to enjoy this peace without worrying about others' time, and it became a precious memory of my trip.
