Carlton Gardens

The Carlton Gardens are one of Australia's most significant historical and cultural sites. They are home to the Royal Exhibition Building, a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture, and the modern Melbourne Museum. The gardens themselves are a superb example of Victorian landscape design, with grand avenues of European trees, ornamental lakes, and elaborate fountains. The gardens provide a beautiful and tranquil space for Melburnians and tourists to relax and walk. The site is listed by UNESCO for its historical, architectural, and botanical importance. The gardens include a playground and tennis courts. Dogs must be kept on a leash. Street parking in the area is limited and paid. Entry to the gardens is free.
