Carlton is famous for its Italian eats, a history deeply rooted in the area from early days. But what makes Carlton a great spot is the combination of new and old, creating an interesting and diverse cultural precinct. Peruse the well-walked Lygon street or veer off and you might just stumble into some interesting spaces otherwise overlooked. With leafy, terrace-lined streets it's a beautiful area to take a morning stroll and admire the Victorian architecture and World Heritage listed sites, with coffee and croissant in hand no less.
Dinosaurs, taxidermy, open-air forest and Indigenous Australia stories - an impressive cover of natural and cultural histories. There's even an IMAX on site too! The beauty of museums built with state-of-the-art technology such as Melbourne Museum, is they appeal to all ages. Pop along solo or drag all generations of family for a day out at Carlton Gardens and immerse yourself in an array of interactive activities.
