Bordering the Yarra River near the Main Yarra Trail, the Royal Botanic Gardens are one of Melbourne’s most beautiful green spaces. The gardens cover 38 hectares and feature a mix of landscaped lawns, lakes, and collections of native and international plants. Walking paths wind through the gardens, offering quiet spots to relax beneath large trees or beside the water. It’s a peaceful place to take a break from the city, with great views of Melbourne’s skyline rising beyond the greenery.

The gardens encompass a diverse array of both native and non-native fauna, including over 10,000 flower species, most of which are not native. These gardens served as the starting point for the spread of many introduced species throughout southeastern Australia.
