Why visit
Visit Melbourne for a city that works through neighborhoods, food, transit, gardens, galleries, and civic architecture. The Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens give the page a formal heritage anchor, but the city is broader than that one site. It is best with time to move between the central grid, inner suburbs, markets, and parks rather than treating the visit as one monument stop.
When to avoid
Do not visit Melbourne expecting the weather or distances to behave politely. Wind, rain, heat, and cross-town movement can all change the day. Keep the plan neighborhood-based. If the trip has only a few hours, choose one area around the heritage building or the central city instead of trying to sample the whole map.
