Visitors who wish to orientate themselves should make the trip to the
Rialto Towers Observation Deck in the city. The Rialto Towers is the tallest office building in the Southern Hemisphere at 253m. Taking a tour on the City Explorer Bus is also a good way to visit most of the city’s attractions; alternatively a City Lights Tour in the evening. The historic
Queen Victoria Market, built on the site of Melbourne's first cemetery, has been operating for more than 120 years. It houses about 1000 traders selling clothing, arts and crafts and fresh produce. Heritage and Foodies Tours of the site are available.
The 35 hectare
Royal Botanic Gardens on the Yarra River have over 51,000 plants on display to complement the site's manicured lawns and wildlife. Guided and self-guided audio tours are available. Another Melbourne icon, The
Melbourne Zoo at Parkville, has spent some time and effort recreating the natural habitats of its animals.
