Holiday in Melbourne

Melbourne, which is one of the most famous and elegant cities in Australia, attracts thousands of tourists every year. There are many places that people should visit, such as Great Ocean Road, Chapel Street, and the Crown Casino.

The Great Ocean Road is one of the most spectacular coastal drives in the world. It is about 180 kilometers along the south-western coast of Australia, and starts from Torquay. When people drive on the Great Ocean Road, there are many beautiful sights along the way. The Twelve Apostles are considered as the most famous attractions for tourists and photographers. As the Twelve Apostles are all in unique and natural structures, and nobody knows how they were formed, people feel so amazed when they see them.

In comparison to the Great Ocean Road, Chapel Street attracts people in different ways. It is considered as the trendiest shopping area in Melbourne. Since the local designers, who have trendy ideas, open their own store in Chapel Street, people can find various clothes that suit them the best. Shopping in Chapel Street does not require a lot of money; actually, the price range is really wide. For instance, the cheapest shirt in Chapel Street is around 10 dollars, and the most expensive one will cost you more than 2000 dollars. Therefore, it is considered as "the place one has to go" for most of young tourists.

For adults, Crown Casino is also one of the most popular places to go. The Crown Casino combines gaming, a hotel, shopping, restaurants, a cinema and other entertainment facilities to form the best and the largest recreation complex in Australian. Therefore, many people from different age groups find the Crown Casino a very interesting place.

In conclusion, Melbourne is an attractive, developed city. If you have a chance, visit Melbourne.
