“Things to do in Melbourne”

Melbourne is a vibrant and cultural rich city where there is a lot to introduce students – even if you have a tight budget. In AABT (Australian Academy of Business and Technology) Melbourne, we encourage students to take advantage of the city’s free activities to detect, open and enjoy the Melbourne style without using a percentage. These are some of the best free things to do in Melbourne.

1. Ride the Free Trams
One of the fine perks of being a scholar in the metropolis is the Free Tram Zone. You can tour inside Melbourne’s CBD without even tapping your Myki card. It’s a first rate way to discover the town and reach important landmarks, inclusive of Blue Lotus College Melbourne, without spending a dime.

2. Science Gallery Melbourne
Located on the University of Melbourne, the Science Gallery is an revolutionary area in which technology meets artwork and design. With interactive exhibitions and rotating themes, it’s a first rate place to get inspired—and admission is usually loose.

3. State Library of Victoria
This iconic building is more than just a library. It features historic architecture, free exhibitions, study zones, and even guided tours.

4. National Gallery of Victoria (NGV)
Australia’s oldest public art museum offers free access to its regular collection. From classic European art to Indigenous Australian works, NGV is perfect for an afternoon of art appreciation.

5. Royal Botanic Gardens
These beautiful landscape gardens are outside CBD and are free to travel. Go for a walk, enjoy picnic or attend a free tour to learn about the original flora in Australia.

6. Federation Square Events
Fed Square is the hub of public events in Melbourne. Throughout the year there are hosts for free cultural festivals, film nights and live performances. It’s a great place to rest and see people.

7. Walk Along the Yarra River
Take a beautiful walk with the river Yarra or cycle. You will pass through prestigious Melbourne sites such as MCG, Southbank and various public art installations.

8. Watch Street Performers
Melbourne is known for its lively street art and performance scene. Buskers often perform at Bourke Street Mall, Southbank and Federation Square.

From outdoor exploration to art and culture, these free things make it easier without using luck without enjoying Melbourne’s student life. For those who want to study in Australia on a budget.
