1. Get back to nature in the Royal Botanic Gardens
Melbourne is lucky to have Royal Botanic Gardens in the middle of the city. The garden is home to a cool 8,500 plant species, zen lakes and lush lawns.
Being so accessible, the gardens are ideal for a picnic or even just somewhere different to eat your workday lunch. Don’t forget to hop on a boat for Punting on the lake.
