Southgate
Bathed in susnshine all day and alive at night, the Southbank between St. Kilda rd and Clarendon St. is a hive of activity. Lined with restuarants, bars, street performance and artworks is a wonderful attraction day or night. REALMelbourne recommends walking past Crown at around 6.30pm each night to feel the heat at the impressive flame-thrower show all along the river.

Perched 285 metres on top of the worlds tallest residential building, the observation deck has a poky-out glass floor device, which means that you can see all the way to the ground. The lifts get you up there in just 40 seconds, so your stomach might need to catch up with the rest of your body before you sample the food from the caf at the top.

Luna Park
Luna Park opened in 1912 and if you're brave enough to go on oldest working, and somewhat ricketty, roller-coaster in the world, then you'll love Luna Park. (PS ...it's made entirely of wood!)

Immigration Museum |
|
Located in the Old Customs House in the heart of the city, the Immigration Museum explores stories of people from all over the world who have migrated to Victoria from the 1800s through to the present day. Stories are brought to life through moving images, computer interactives, voices, memories and belongings. The result is an entertaining experience that engages the senses.

Ramsey Street |
|
Ramsey Street, you've seen it a million times on TV, it's actually called Pin Oak Court and people do actually live there. It's located in deep in the suburbs, but you can get the 75 tram from the city to nearby or just pay to go the official Neighbours tour. Get there before 7pm though as that's when the security guard starts his shift and you won't be allowed in. Zoom out on the REALMelbourne attractions map to see the location pin-pointed.
Pin Oak Court, Vermont South, Melbourne

Rialto Towers Observation deck |

Crown Entertainment Complex |
|
Obviously REALMelbourne doesn't want to encourage gambling, but we reckon it's worth popping into the Crown Casino building to see all the pretty coloured fountains.
