St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne

The contrast between the outside noise and inside the cathedral can definitely make you feel out of place but in a good way. I find the cathedral to be quite beautiful, the architecture, the design of the building, the placement of religious art, the exhibition plates that told the story of the place and the feeling in that moment. The place is free for anyone to go in and if you want to make a donation to the cathedral there this stand that allow you to do it, I found it to be so convenient. And also at the end, on the way out there this souvenirs shop full of amazing stuff so don't forget to check it out. #melbournetrip #cathedral

Memorial Temple This is one of the darker scenes in this city, which will surely inspire you to reflect on the sacrifices made by the fallen in the First World War. Shortly after the end of the war, the Shrine was erected in the King's Domain Gardens and remains the focus of ceremonies on ANZAC Day (April 25th) and Remembrance Day (November 11th) each year. Afterwards, head to some of Melbourne's famous markets; the South Melbourne Market or the Queen Victoria Market are also great options. Federal Square Opened in 2002 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the federation, it features stylish geometric modern design in stark contrast to the historic Victorian architecture surrounding Melbourne. That being said, exploring the area is one of the best activities in Melbourne as they often host a plethora of events and entertainment. Usually held in the outdoor performance area of Federation Square, there is a good chance that there will be some events taking place during your visit. São Paulo Cathedral It was built in 1868 and is a stunning example of Australian Gothic Revival architecture. It is free to enter, so after admiring the impressive exterior, be sure to go inside and take a look. Melbourne Museum The collection is extremely diverse, from the Indigenous Centre (Bunjilaka) to the Children's Museum. The building itself is impressive from the outside, and the surrounding gardens and parks are also great places to explore or stop for a picnic. Eureka Tower This impressive skyscraper stands 91 stories tall, crowned with gold. Its gilding pays tribute to the Victorian-era gold rush, and from the ground, the sparkling facade is a sight to behold. Head up to the 88th-floor observation deck for an unparalleled view of the city below. If you're looking for a scenic activity, this is easily one of the best things to do in Melbourne. Melbourne Star This is an observation Ferris wheel, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from a height of 40 floors and 360 degrees. Royal Botanic Gardens These gardens cover about 40 hectares and are widely regarded as one of the best gardens in the world. You can see over 50,000 plant species here (impressive, right?), including some rare ones. Don't miss the chance to take a fascinating journey through Australian Aboriginal cultural heritage by walking along the Aboriginal Heritage Walk that passes through the gardens. After exploring the gardens all morning, grab a refreshing drink at one of Melbourne's best coffee shops, Manchester Press, where they make a mean Italian-style espresso.

Arriving at St. Paul's Cathedral in downtown Melbourne, just a newcomer is holding a wedding, we stand behind the crowd and watch it quietly for a while. This is the fourth time to meet the wedding on the road. For the first time in Guam, a private chapel. The second time was the shrine next to Asakusa Temple in Japan. The third time is Sri Lanka, a small village through the route. Listening to the new people reading the vows and firmly saying "I am willing", the eyes are a little moist. Good love, how wonderful. Opposite the church is Flinders Street Station. This is another landmark in the heart of Melbourne and the most prosperous transportation hub. For a few days in a row, whenever there is passing, there is always a bustling crowd. From the station, it is the classic Melbourne hiking route. It is said to be hiking, in fact, it is to go shopping along the characteristic streets. Melbourne's streets are very interesting, with all kinds of alleys and arcades intertwined, hiding the most famous cafes, restaurants and independent shops in Melbourne, with a variety of Italian coffee and food. My favorite is the nearly 125-year-old Brock Arcade, which follows the arcade-style shopping style of the 19th century popular in the European fashion capitals of Milan, Paris, London, etc. Exquisite marble columns and mosaic tiles, vintage and gorgeous. If you have plenty of time, you can enjoy an authentic afternoon tea in the 100-year-old Hopeton Tea Room, which seems to have been contaminated with a few British aristocrats.

#melbournetrip The Church was one of the beautiful church I have seen. I have seen one bigger and older in Iran-Isfahan that was really amazing and Mysterious. There is a tile on the right left side of the main door of this Church. This tile is a replica of an eight-pointed star tile, which is found under the rose window over the main door of the Church of St Simon the Zealot in Shiraz and in St Luke's in Isfahan. There is some detailed wooden statues in this church that will be so instructing.

📝Australia Travel Notes Part 12: St. Paul's Cathedral📝 ⛪️⛪️⛪️⛪️ St. Paul's Cathedral is diagonally opposite Flinders Train Station. It was founded in 1880 and completed in 1891. It is the earliest English church in Melbourne and has been around for 130 years. The entire church is quite majestic, but because I don't have any religious beliefs, I don't have any deeper feelings. 🖼🖼🖼🖼 When traveling abroad, I often use churches as a place to rest. If I get tired from walking around, I find a church to sit for a while. Perhaps because it's very quiet, people do indeed feel very peaceful at times. Visited on November 5, 2015
