Brighton Bathing Boxes
@solofemaletravel
Check out the iconic colorful bathing boxes at Brighton Beach. There are 82 of these distinctive multi-colored huts lining the beach of one of Melbourne’s most classy and exclusive neighborhoods, creating one of the most photographed spots in the city. Do it for the ‘gram.

The Creators Market
@solofemaletravel
This is probably one of my favorite markets, as it brings together all of the local artists. These markets are constantly going on in Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo and The Bellarine Peninsula. Check out The Creators Market website to see when the next one is.

Over 80 local artisans flood the lawn of Art Centre Melbourne every Sunday from 10:00AM to 4:00PM. You can find art and homemade goods made by some of the most artistic people in the city. There’s also live market music if the weather permits it. You’ll be sure to find something new and one-of-a-kind here each week. SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS.

Melbourne Town Hall
@solofemaletravel
This is a great place to go and learn more about the social, architectural and political significance at Melbourne’s historic Town Hall. Bookings are required with at least 24 hours of notice, but the tour will provide you with tons of knowledge on the city, something that doesn’t always come cheap!

Victoria Market Pharmacy
@solofemaletravel
I know, I know–SO MANY MARKETS, but I’m a sucker for local events. Every Wednesday from 5:00PM to 9:00PM, the Night Market is held at Queen Vic Markets. You can look forward to this event every week for great food, drinks, music and people watching!
