Woo great tips! We are getting all nostalgic watching this, missing u guys and Melbourne times! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Great video! Actually I've been binge watching all your videos...cuz I'm going to Melbourne at the end of this month for about 10 days long! Ahhh can't wait. Thanks for the tips tho
Please don’t do cheap on uggs, I did they end up smelly faster.
Real uggs are made by Aussie owned small business families. The skill and experience involved in creating them is worth the $ . Personally I am saving for a pair after wasting about 60 on couple cheapies that fell apart.
I love these Melbourne videos! New subbie :)
hello Nick,your videos are so informative,love it,can you kindly give me a link of the background music which starts at 4min 15sec in this video.Thank you.(y)
Thanks for these tips! Will remember South Melbourne beach!
+Jamie Banks It's so stunning walking around Melbourne beaches in Summer :)
Another local of Melbourne and can vouch that South Melbourne beach is the way to go. St Kilda beach and area is unsavoury IMHO.
THANKS for making this! would definitely use these tips when visiting Mel!
You're welcome. Hope you enjoy it 😊
im still enjoying (and mostly learning from) your videos as i prepare for my trip to Mel. any tips for first-time solo traveller?
Make sure to download the PTV app for public transport as sometimes wait times for trains and buses can be ages.
thanks for the tips
love your videos all the time,Melbourne is my next place to live for sure,thanks for your information,wish youse the best XO-XO
I wish i used the(youse) right,learned it from one of yours
N3 A6 Thanks heaps! Highly recommend this fun unique city 😊
Melbourne is less of a holiday destination, but the best place to live.......a couple weeks in a holiday isnt enough to understand why people love living here.
Of course you still go to Eureka Skydeck. It's the touristy thing to do. If you went to Paris, you'd go to the Eiffel Tower or Tour Montparnasse (or both), but certainly not a rooftop bar/restaurant. You might do that in addition to the landmarks, but you still would go to the landmark itself.
If you wanted a free view of the city, simply go to the Shire of Remembrance and go to the top of that.
Not everyone can afford to go to Eureka Skydeck and I've been to the top of the Shire of remembrance too. The view wasn't the same as the view i see from Naked for Satan's rooftop bar. In my opinion, the view was nice but very flat like you would see from Yarra river.
If you're a proper tourist, you'll save up so you can go to these admission only places. Or try and find a discount somewhere. When I went to Berlin I went on the observation deck (and revolving restaurant) of the Fernsehturm. There's just iconic landmarks you gotta go to.
On that note, avoid Southern Star Observation Wheel at all costs, unless you just have to go there to complete that checklist of being on all the major observation wheels from around the world. The view is just awful. Docklands was the wrong location, it should have been at Birrarung Marr.
I agree a rooftop bar has nothing on the 88 floor skydeck but afterall it's just an idea...
@@LordDavid04 "a proper tourist" wow now tourists are being judged. Not every tourist wants to do the same things you know
@@november132 What you don't want to save money by finding an attraction price cheaper online?
No one's forcing you to go anywhere, but you save money with online purchases, coupons and the like.
Great videos! Your voice sounds like those narrative voices on getaway hahah nice work!
+Tina Gao haha Thanks Tina! Was a fun video to make. ☺
Love the editing and tips, guys!
+JustKevYTP Thanks Kev! Editing is all thanks to Rachel! 😊
agree with South Melbourne beach, i never go to st kilda
Great tips guys
Seven PointFive Thanks heaps! 😊☺
Nice video brother really willing to come to Melbourne for my studies!
Yes! you should! It's a gorgeous city. You'd love it :)
I’m gonna be going to Melbourne in 2 months!
i ve been in Melbourne for the past one month.Your videos really help me out guys.Will you please tell me the shop where you people got dat really cheap ugg? M searching for d cheapest one. But i cant get dat for jus 10. kindly reply
+shereen fathima Amaxing to hear that! It's called BigW. I am not sure if they still have it as Winter is almost finished.
I'm from Melbourne, Florida; definitely not as cool as Melbourne, Austrailia!
+Ken Wilson haha I'm curious what it's like over there? Heard it's got nice beaches.
At the end of the video, where is the "I luv Melbourne" located?
Not sure if still there but it was on the cnr of bourke and elizabeth st. In front of a mobile phone shop
If I want to learn the history of Melboune? Where do I go?
& Immigration Museum too.
What are your favourite alternatives for Tourist things to do in Melbourne or your country?
I like the street art which has obviously changed each time I go. I like going over to the library and seeing what exhibitions they have on or watching people play chess outside.
I'll definitely be looking for rooftop bars on my next trip! I've considered Eureka in the past but never gone through with it.
We will probably do a Best Bars in Melbourne video before you come visit :-)
Catch a smart bus to see locals of all demographics an see multiple suburbs & shopping centres all on one day for the cost of a myki top up.
Visit Williamstown in winter! Fewer tourists when it's cold. Maybe get the beach to yourself. See the yatches at rest and admire the city and St Kilda from across the bay.
Catch ferry from Docklands to Williamstown.
The tourist trap is the flight to Sydney
Thanks for the beach suggestion. I was looking at staying near St. Kilda beach in October but maybe I'll look around a bit more :)
If your thinking of staying in that area I recommend Albert Park which is super close to the city but also has a small beach and is close to South Melbourne. Also I personally think the best beach fairly close to Melbourne is Chelsea beach :-) - Nic
If I stay for four days. Should I buy miki pass?
Hi! You should just buy daily tickets for 4 days :-)
Ok thanks! Location wise, is the CBD the most convenient place to stay? If I just plan to visit basic tourist areas.
If you intend to venture out to the suburbs, then yes get a daily ticket. Otherwise, if you stay in the CBD (hotel/apartment/whatever) the free tram zone is in effect. You can also pretty much walk if you wanted to. Only get a Myki if you intend to travel out to the suburbs by rail or tram.
Was good Video. Sorry but with me and my brother being on tight budget, We Get Coffee from 7 eleven. 1 Large gives the hit and is about 2-3 dollars.
Wayne Dunn i still get 7/11 coffee too i must admit. A great choice when you're on a tight budget!
where is cheap ugg ? is it their name?
Sami MoHammed big w

Why would you want the cheap Ugg? There's Ugg stores world wide, but shop around, you can find genuine Uggs at slightly more reasonable prices. Even then, you'd still fork out the money for that one time souvenir. Otherwise, just buy online on eBay. You might find a bargain there.
Op shops in the suburbs... miki still sucks...
Im from melbourne australia.its a boring city.its not like sydney.i know many tourists that have come here and not one person liked it it
Naked in the sky???? You mean naked for Satan! Bloody tourists what would you know about Melbourne
Hi! The rooftop at Naked for Satan is called Naked In The Sky 😊
