Flinders Street Station is one of Melbourne's largest and busiest train stations, as well as one of the buildings left behind from the Victorian era. As the first railway station in Melbourne, it serves as the central station for local railway lines. Its grand architectural style is very attractive and easily recognizable. Located in the city center, the station's unique location facing Federation Square and St. Paul's Church has become one of Melbourne's most important cultural centers. The entire station is built with yellow stone, and the bronze dome is one of its greatest features. When night falls, the station is illuminated by dim yellow lights and looks especially beautiful. As far as the eye can see, the magnificent buildings give people a peaceful and beautiful feeling. Melbourne residents often meet under the station's clock, which has become an important part of their lives. To experience the charm of Flinders Street Station, it is recommended to visit at night when you will surely be amazed by its unique classical beauty.

Visiting the Victoria State Library, built in 1854, can provide a unique experience. In the La Trobe Reading Room, you can look up at the famous giant arch, feeling the influence of culture. In the Arts Reading Room, you can find a corner to quietly appreciate music. At the same time, sitting on the lawn in front of the library with locals, enjoying the sunshine, watching people come and go, is also a good way to relax. However, be careful not to let the seagulls staring at your snacks startle you.
