hi I'm Janice and I hope your day's
going well wherever you are as you can
tell by the title of my video this will
be a guide on how you can spend 24 hours
when in Melbourne that's good so we're
gonna start this guide off at 7 a.m. and
if you know me well enough you would
know what the first thing on this list
is gonna be coffee no Melbourne has
amazing coffee as I've said in some of
my other videos I mean Sydney is still
the best but Melvin comes a close second
and so the first thing that I suggest
you do is to get yourself a cup of
coffee to start your day honestly you
really just can't go wrong with coffee
if you need inspiration on where you
should go check out my video right here
and while you're sipping on that coffee
take the opportunity to explore Mel
burns many laneways where you'll find
really interesting shops and hidden gems
and with Melbourne being the very artsy
city that it is also check out one of
Melvin's most famous graffiti lanes I
have to say that this place looks really
really cool in pictures and in like
magazine articles when I got there it
was so crowded I could barely take a
picture without some stranger being in
my shot so if you're just there for the
experience and you want to soak it all
in then great but if you you know want
to take a picture for your Instagram
then I suggest coming back a bit later
like at night because there's a lot less
people at night and you can probably
take a lot more photos without people
sort of in your shot all the time I went
back at 8 p.m. and there was barely any
[Music]
depending on how hungry you are I'm
assuming now would be a good time for
you to go and find something to eat
head on over to Queen Victoria Market
and check that place out
both act the Queen Victoria Market is
one of Melvin's most iconic market and
has been in operation since 1878 it is
one of the largest open-air markets in
the southern hemisphere and there are so
much to check out do you're sure to find
something that you'd be interested in
extremely important to research before
you go places because I was going to
head to the Queen Victoria market and
it's not open on a Wednesday but when
it's open there are so much different
things you can check out whether it be
fresh fruit vegetables nuts sea food
coffee bread pastry meat pies like the
list is endless and there's so many
cafes as well so you know you're
definitely gonna find some type of food
that you're gonna enjoy and then now
that your belly is full and you're fully
reenergized
head on over to Flinders Street Station
and check that place out I personally
thought this was really interesting but
this was Australia's first ever railway
station and in 1926 it was the most busy
station in the world which means that it
was more busy than Grand Central Station
in New York and Liverpool Street Station
in London how crazy is that and if you
want to take a picture of this iconic
station what I recommend is going across
the street like diagonally across it so
that you can see like the entire
building and I'd stand there for a few
rounds at the traffic light so that you
can wait for all the cars to stop and
then like if you're quick enough
snap it just in time and while you're in
the area steps away from Flinders Street
Station is Federation Square it's a
really unique spot in the heart of
Melbourne and there's always something
going on there
there's the ACMA which is the Australian
Centre of moving images it is a free
exhibition about the journey
of movie images but if art isn't your
thing grab one of those beach chairs
that you can find across the square
which is what I did I found a chair I
set under this like really nice umbrella
and I was watching whatever was on the
big screen which at the time was a rat
to his vs. warrior game I ended up
sitting there for like an hour because
the game was so good and I just couldn't
bring myself to leave it was a great
game
congratulations Raptors and then
afterwards it's lunch time I've said it
before and I say again you really can't
go wrong with Melbourne cafes
I love Melbourne brunch lunch breakfast
foods yeah I've made a video recently on
my five favorite places to get brunch so
check it out if you need inspiration
know depending on what your preferences
are we have a few options as to how you
can spend the next few hours of your day
if shopping is your thing head on over
to Bourke Street more where you can find
apartment shops and flagship fashion
brands but if you have zero interest for
shopping you don't want to pay extra for
baggage head on over to Brighton bathing
boxes if photography is more your thing
this is an iconic group of 82 wooden
bath boxes that were used by the ladies
to get changed into the swimming
costumes before they headed on over to
the beach but if you can't be bothered
to Trek all the way there
then maybe check out ngv the National
Gallery of Victoria entry into the ngv
is free but if you want to go to one of
their like special exhibitions you have
to pay a little bit more I'm not sure
how much that prices but check out their
website to see what is on how much it is
[Music]
now the next part of the day is
something that I personally enjoyed a
lot but it's probably not for everyone I
actually really enjoy being around large
bodies of water because I find that
really calming and if you do as well
then head on over to st. kilda swarf I
honestly don't think my camera does it
justice but right now we are at thank
you Latvia not only can you see the
panoramic skyline of Melbourne but you
can also see penguins there's a special
boardwalk that you can get quite close
to them like there's a fence so you can
actually touch them wear anything but
you can get very very close and you can
see them and you can hear them and it is
so so cool okay I found the place
there's a lot of people here
you should try and come like just before
and around sunset because that's when
the Penguins come out I see
and now dinner melbourne has an amazing
food scene with some of the best
restaurants just go down Flinders Lane
and you'll find a whole series of
amazing food if you're willing to
splurge a bit then definitely go check
out one of these restaurants which is
what I did for the purposes of this
video
all right so I have just got myself a
lobster roll from super normal I'm
incredibly excited because there are so
much hype about this lobster roll and it
was really really packed oh my gosh
okay I knew the place was fancy but I I
was expecting it to be slightly bigger
for some reason this was $17 all right
this is the lobster roll that I'm
talking about I'm laughing because I
thought it would be a lot bigger and
this is literally a two by two for me
but I'm very very excited alright
without further ado let's try this
lobster roll it better be good this was
$17 okay it's actually really delicious
the lobster meat is it's just oozing
with lobster meat in there and the
sources is delicious it was probably the
best bite of lobster I've ever had in a
roll but for $17 I expect it to be like
at least the size of a Subway sandwich
so what I pay $17 to eat that again no
house delicious but I'm so sorry
so we're gonna have to go get more food
and so speaking of food he's one place
that you can always rely on for cheap
and delicious food Chinatown
[Music]
make sure you give Chinatown a visit
when you're here I've got a whole
steamer of dumplings I think they were
eight and the gigantic bowl of noodles
or for under $20 it was delicious and
amazing and warming this is just on its
own
the broth tastes absolutely amazing
sort of like me burn Roth it's quite
intensive like viscosity its choir its
listen it's not just a clear profit
these are the soup dumplings I keep
breaking them as I'm eating them that my
my favorite way of the movement is to
put some vinegar on it I don't even need
soy sauce or anything
[Music]
you have aromas dumplings you can always
trust Chinatown to find cheap and
delicious eats you think this is it
nope experienced mobin's nightlife and
check out their hidden bars and themed
those I visited Storyville bar which is
Melvin's fairytale themed bar they have
themed cocktails and a pretty sick
interior and overall it was a pretty
cool experience
all right last and definitely not least
if you're still out and about late in
the evening or very early in the morning
go get yourself a good old slice of
pizza
[Music]
I know I know I'm lactose sensitive but
I really just couldn't resist some
cheesy goodness to end the night and I
like to live in the moment and don't
think about the consequences all right
that is it that's a lot to pack into 24
hours so you know pick and choose as you
please I hope you enjoyed this video
