OutstandingLovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.
Carlton Gardens attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Carlton Gardens is located on the north side of Melbourne's city center and is one of the few United Nations World Cultural Heritage sites in Australia. The core building of the garden, the Royal Exhibition Building, was built in the late 19th century, combining Byzantine, Renaissance and Gothic styles. It has hosted the World Expo and is still used for large-scale exhibitions and celebrations. Its dome structure and cast iron decorations show the architectural features of the Victorian era, and the light yellow tones of the exterior walls form a harmonious contrast with the surrounding green plants. The layout of the garden is mainly geometrically symmetrical, with a central fountain surrounded by an open lawn and neatly trimmed shrubs and seasonal flower beds on both sides. The garden is shaded by ancient trees, and many trails connect historical buildings and leisure areas. Citizens often jog or have picnics here. The glass curtain wall of the Melbourne Museum on the south side adds modern elements to the classical landscape, creating a unique atmosphere of interweaving time and space. As a cultural and educational venue, the garden regularly hosts open-air movies, art fairs and other activities, and its winter light show attracts many families. When visiting, pay attention to the reliefs of mythological figures on the facade of the building and the original wooden stage structure preserved inside the exhibition hall.

Carlton Gardens Photos: Trip Moments
I want to ask Melburnians, why is there such a carefree sense of freedom that seems to disregard everything elseGardens everywhere, everywhere! And they're all free~ As soon as the sun comes out, the lawns are full of people. With my friend @Mcdull's Travel Diary, I strolled through gardens, taking photos along the way, and couldn't help but marvel at Melbourne's relaxed vibe~ People running, reading, sunbathing by the roadside, even a convent is full of artistic flair. 🌄Every time I finish visiting NGV, I love sitting on Southbank and daydreaming. Kayaks pass by in front of me, one after another. Turns out a city can be this livable~ · Here are a few Melbourne gardens I recommend. Go live like a local~ 1️⃣Fitzroy Gardens (home to Captain Cook's Cottage, though the outside of the cottage is prettier than the inside) 2️⃣Melbourne Park: When watching the Australian Open, I love walking back to the hotel along Melbourne Park. The Yarra River's relaxed vibe is at its peak. 3️⃣Carlton Gardens: Iconic Exhibition Building + fountain, full of English charm, but I heard it was a University of Melbourne execution ground. International students have a bit of dark humor. 4️⃣Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne 5️⃣Albert Park: This is an F1 racetrack! The CBD in the middle of the lake is truly beautiful. 6️⃣Abbotsford Convent: An Italianate convent built in 1889, once one of Melbourne's early charitable convents. Not many people, good for photos. 7️⃣Southbank: Although not a park, the Yarra River always holds the souls yearning for freedom~ · Besides that, Melbourne has its own La La Land, with 2 absolute favorite sunset spots: 1️⃣St Kilda: Stay a bit later, and you can see little penguins come ashore. 2️⃣Point Ormond Lookout: By the sea! All romantic and free souls! I really admire how foreigners are so unashamed about love! I want to ask Melburnians, is this carefree, relaxed vibe of yours that seems to disregard everything else innate? Melbourne, VictoriaGrace Beaumont149

Melbourne in Fall🍁How to get around: Walking, my favourite thing to do in the city is walking around and feel like your apart of the city! Must-see attractions: Carlton Gardens, the beautiful water fountain feature and the Royal Exhibition building — most weekends they have either a market or an art installation on. Definitely take a look as you step inside there’s the most beautiful interior paintings. A must do is taking a vintage black and white photo in the photo booths scattered around Melbourne, there is one located by Flinders Train Station or Collingwood too 🎞️ Food guide: Best coffee, A Coffee in Collingwood ☕️ For lunch, go to Operator San by Queen Vic Market (they also have the best matcha in Melbourne) 🍵🍛 Drinks, you have to check out Caretakers Cottage - such good vibes. 🍸🥃 Dinner, head to Melitta delicious Mediterranean food 🍴 #falladventures_TI***2g

Melbourne D4 citywalkToday, 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.josephfire

Springtime Magic in Melbourne 🌿☀️#springitinerary I absolutely adore spring in Melbourne! The city bursts into life with blooming flowers, especially at the Royal Botanic Gardens and along the Yarra River. The weather is perfect—warm but not too hot—ideal for exploring charming cafés, strolling through Fitzroy’s vibrant streets, or enjoying a picnic in Carlton Gardens. Cherry blossoms add a dreamy touch, and outdoor events like the Melbourne Flower Show make the season even more special. If you love fresh air, sunshine, and a lively atmosphere, spring here is pure magic!Strawberry-
Melbourne travel guide.🇦🇺Melbourne attractions guide|||———❗️✅Recommended 📍Port Melbourne Beach: The sunset is amazing. You have to be there to understand the vastness of the world. 📍State Library Victoria: The architecture is stunning. The symmetry is very satisfying, but there are a lot of tourists. 📍Royal Arcade: You will pass by here when shopping. It has a retro vibe. 📍St Paul's Cathedral: Not as big as the cathedral in Sydney, but very beautiful! The color scheme is unique. ———😌Not bad, worth a visit if you have time 🔸Fitzroy Gardens: Quite big, but it's just a big lawn. 🔸University of Melbourne: Old and peaceful. If you don't have a friend to show you around, you can only take photos of the old buildings. 🔸Melbourne Central: A busy shopping mall. 🔸Flinders Street Railway Station: More functional than beautiful. Good for Jay Chou fans to take photos. 🔸St Patrick's Cathedral: There was an event when I visited, so I couldn't go inside. The photos look magnificent! The architecture is beautiful but hard to photograph. 🔸Melbourne Museum & Carlton Gardens: The museum is small, and the exhibits are new and scattered. It lacks a sense of history and is more like an encyclopedia for kids. ———🤷♀️Not worth visiting ▪️Graffiti walls: I don't understand why people take photos here. It looks like a dump. 🇦🇺There are many places with interesting graffiti. ▪️Queen Victoria Market: A big market with nothing to see. There are a few cafes nearby. You can buy souvenirs here. ▪️Federation Square: Not really an attraction, just a nice outdoor mall. ▪️Melbourne Town Hall: Not worth visiting as an attraction.PenttiJ?rvi3
Carlton Gardens: A Must-Visit in MelbourneDuring my trip to Melbourne, Carlton Gardens was an unforgettable destination. This historic garden not only showcases the essence of Australian landscape art but also blends rich cultural heritage, offering visitors a feast for the eyes and soul. As soon as I stepped into Carlton Gardens, I was captivated by its vast lawns, dense avenues, and colorful flowers. The garden was established in 1839 and has become one of Australia's most famous garden buildings. Covering an area of about 26 hectares, it is grand in scale and elegant in environment. Whether it's the first ray of sunshine in the morning or the golden afterglow at dusk, Carlton Gardens showcases different beauty in its unique way. Walking along the garden paths, I felt like I had traveled back to Europe a hundred years ago. The architectural style here is unique, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and other elements, with every detail full of artistic atmosphere. The Royal Exhibition Building, as a landmark building in the garden, attracts countless tourists with its spectacular appearance and rich historical background. Various exhibitions and events are often held inside the exhibition hall, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Melbourne's rich cultural heritage and artistic atmosphere. In addition to the beauty of the architecture, the natural landscape of Carlton Gardens is equally enchanting. There are two small lakes in the garden, with clear water reflecting the surrounding green trees and flowers, like a beautiful painting. On the lawn, children run and play happily, and pets stroll leisurely in the sun, filling the entire garden with vitality and energy. During my visit, I also discovered that Carlton Gardens is a great place for photography. Whether it's the ancient buildings, lush trees, or colorful flowers, they can all become the focus of the lens. I brought my camera to capture these beautiful moments as precious memories of this visit. Moreover, the convenience of transportation to Carlton Gardens is commendable. There are several stations and tram stops near the garden, making it easy for visitors to reach and explore nearby attractions. This also makes Carlton Gardens an ideal urban oasis, providing a place of tranquility and relaxation amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. Overall, my experience at Melbourne's Carlton Gardens was enjoyable and unforgettable. It not only boasts beautiful natural scenery and unique architectural styles but also rich cultural heritage and convenient transportation. Whether for nature lovers or history and culture enthusiasts, Carlton Gardens is a must-visit destination.WanderlustExtra11

Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.
The gardens are huge (26 hectares) and I wandered through them before a theatre performance so only saw a few. Located in the CBD, the gardens are very nice with lots of greenery. There are ducks in the pond. I have to mention the facilities in the park - it includes the Melbourne Museum, the Royal Exhibition Building (closed when I visited) and the IMAX Theatre.
Carlton Garden is also a famous attraction in Melbourne. The garden occupies a large area and is lined with old trees. All the leaves have turned yellow, and the mood of autumn is strong. There is a fountain at the end of the tree path, where a couple of Hong Kong people are taking wedding photos. The fountain is exquisitely carved and has a strong classical flavor. The thick-browed boy felt as if he had gone to a garden in Europe. There are many people taking a nap on the grass in the garden. The thick-browed boy really envies Australia for having such a beautiful public space, unlike the so-called parks in Hong Kong where there is almost nothing to do except dance the auntie dance.
Melbourne's Carlton Gardens is an urban garden in the city center. It has rich vegetation, large tracts of forests and lawns, as well as lakes in the garden. Water birds live here all year round. The whole park gives people a sense of tranquility and elegance. It is a great place for tourists and citizens to exercise and take a walk.
The garden was specially designed for the grand international exhibition held in Melbourne from 1880 to 1888. The Royal Exhibition Building and the garden are made of wood, brick, steel and slate, and the overall style combines various elements of Byzantine and even Italian Renaissance. Its heyday was before 1915, when more than 50 large-scale international exhibitions from Paris, New York, Vienna, Jamaica, Chile and other places were held here.
Melbourne's Carlton Gardens is a European-style garden with classic fountains and neatly trimmed flowers. The air here is very good, and flowers bloom all year round, making it look very noble and elegant.
Melbourne's Carlton Gardens is a very famous city park. It is located in front of the Melbourne Royal Exhibition Building. It is shaded by green trees, has wide lawns, and is dotted with several artificial lakes. Wild ducks and other water birds swim leisurely on the lakes, and the breeze is really comfortable.
Carlton Gardens Carton Park, Melbourne... The Royal Exhibition Hall and Museum are here, and it's also a wedding dress resort.
