If you are here to feel the Melbourne vibe, I guess flinders street is a good area to be around. Live music by street artists makes it an absolute pleasant experience. You might find different food vendors from around the world serving Chinese food to Indian to Vietnamese etc. It’s a buzzing area with comfortable access to all forms of public transport- buses, trams and trains.
Wow!! The outer shell of this station is simply superb!! Very old timey!! I'm not quite sure what the different times on the clocks outside are supposed to mean, as it is the same time in all the train line stations in Melbourne
An absolute icon of Melbourne! The historic architecture is stunning, especially when lit up at night. It’s the perfect meeting point ('under the clocks'). The station is well-organized with clear signage, making it easy for tourists to navigate the city's train network.
