State Library of Victoria

I used to come here to study when I was in the exams, because it was very quiet. This time I was the first time I had visited the library officially, though I had been here dozens of times before. The library is very large and beautifully designed. It feels like visiting the library can enhance the culture. It is located in the center of the city and has very convenient transportation. The library is very big, very clean and very beautiful. Many tourists come to take pictures. Every exit has automatic doors, I feel intimate~

Very artful library, like a museum or museum, with circular walkways, volunteer guides to explain to the top floor to take pictures, and many art works can be seen when visiting. Some people come here to rest and recharge, really a good place to settle their minds.

One of the largest library in the world. Magnificent architecture for this amazing place. A place where in every square meter you can appreciate what incredible thing is the culture, the art, the literature. Very interesting the sections around the dome with several topics related to Melbourne and Australia. And finally the balcony at level 6 where you can have a wonderful view of the dome. Definitively a must go during your stay in Melbourne.

1️⃣ Victoria State Library is one of the largest libraries in the world and the oldest public library in Australia. With its unique charm, it has become a popular place for melbourne. The biggest reason for personal feeling is that the reading room on the first floor of the library is unique in design. The eight long tables radiating from the center outside make the reading room into many spaces, so it is very unique to look from the upstairs to the first floor. 🎫 Tickets: Free; ⌚️Open time: Monday to Thursday 10:00-21:00, Friday to Sunday 10:00-18:002️⃣Puffing Billy Steam Train as one of the best steam trains in the world, this has also become a popular attraction in Melbourne. The train will lead you through the Dantonong Mountains. Due to safety problems, it is now not allowed to hang your legs outside the carriage. The entire ride is about half an hour and there are locals waiting for the red lights at all the intersections to wave to you. Still can come and experience if you are interested. 🎫Ticket: 59 AUD round trip ⌚️ departure time: 10:30, 11:10, 12:30, 14:30

Amazing state library in Melbourne, Australia. Huge, encompassing, and educational in its history, culture, and academics towards students, the locals, and tourists alike. The library housed many exhibits for people to lean the history of of Australia, the notorious robber Ned Kelly, and books throughout history. You can spend hours in the library just exploring. As for the architecture, it's beautiful and a work of modern art in the interior! Great place to visit as a tourist and best of all, Melbourne Walking Tours start at the library as the meeting point!

Great place for many things- explore one of the most interesting building in Melbourne. The dome is amazing- free art exhibitions and galleries- books and magazines - free internet- lovely café

The State Library of Victoria is a must visit for tourists. The building is beautiful both on the outside and inside. You don't have to pay an entry fee to the library, but there are occasionally paid exhibits and tours. This is great for those who are on a budget.I strongly recommend getting yourself lost in the library's inner architecture. Ever room has its own charm and unique details that tell a story about the history of Victoria.After you have finished, you have to eat lunch on the grass outside. Your trip to Melbourne won't be complete if you don't chill out, out front of the Library.

Easy to spend 2 hours here, even if you're not "a library person" typically. Fantastic curated exhibits in a gorgeous space. The reading room is like Harry Potter meets Washington DC.
