"Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building" Top 5 Page for this destination Melbourne Favorite Tip by ATXtraveler

Favorite thing: Melbourne is internationally known for its opportunity and its achievement. Home to one of the richest Gold Rushes the world has ever seen, this town tends to be rather opulent in the buildings and historical markers it creates to attract the world community.

One of these wonderful exhibits is the Royal Exhibition Building, whose main purpose was to bring international recognition to Melbourne as a result of its rich Gold Rush days of the late 1800's. The world answered in 2004 as it recognized the building as a World Heritage site.

Even outside of this magnificent building, the vision of Melbourne's world class status is the Carlton Gardens, which has a beautiful range of colours and is constantly being revised and re-planted to give this building a wonderful look.

The interior of the building is just as magnificent as the outside, and features wonderful wood floors, and large ceilings. There are tours of the building every day at 2pm, and are $5AUD.
