Federation Square

posted by hberry on 10 August 2010 at 16:49

Its hard to believe that Federation Square has only existed for eight years now. It feels like it's been the centre of the city for decades the one give away being its quirky ultra modern architecture. There are cinemas, restaurants, pubs, art galleries and a lot more reasons to pay it a visit. There's also a tourist information point here which is very handy.

st Kilda Beach

posted by gosteen on 10 August 2010 at 16:42

St Kilda Beach is a great spot to head to if you feel like getting out of the city for a bit St Kilda is your best bet. It's got a wonderfully laid back atmosphere as well as some lovely old buildings. The Palais Theatre and the retro theme park 'Lunar Park' are highlights on this front. There are also some great restaurants and little cake shops. The pier has a great view back over the city.

Great Ocean Road

posted by phincken on 10 August 2010 at 16:28

We'd had lots of recommendations to drive the great Ocean Road and we certainly weren't dissapointed. We found a shuttle bus company in Melbourne who offered a standard day's drive. The coast itself is breathtaking and the 12 appostles (massive rocks free-standing clear of the coast) were a definite highlight. Bells beach is worth a look as is the Otway national park. If you've got a car, all the better.

Grand Place

posted by fclark on 10 August 2010 at 16:06

You're unlikely to miss this site on a trip to Brussels as it lies at the very heart of the city. It is flanked by the breadhouse and the town hall and is simply the most beautiful town square in Brussels . Victor Hugo agreed with me on that front. the breadhouse is also the home of the city museum which is definitely worth a visit.

annual floral carpet

posted by htodd on 10 August 2010 at 16:00

This is a lovely tradition in Brussels and well worth trying to coincide a visit with. The main square is covered in a carpet of begonias laid out in patterns which are apparently different every year. You can see the carpet from a number of different elevated viewpoints around the square.
