class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shop or stay in the \u2018Paris End\u2019&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking towards the east of Melbourne&#8217;s CBD comes with an air of affluence. The streets are tree-fringed, the buildings are grand and (of course) the boutiques are designer. It\u2019s the part of the city where Gucci, Dolce &amp; Gabbana and Dior are neighbours, along with hotel counterparts like Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, Grant Hyatt Melbourne and The Hotel Windsor.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melbourne\u2019s high tea game is strong, but the \u2018Paris End\u2019 is where it really shines. At <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/au\/offer\/the-hotel-windsor-victoria-australia\/006Ii000002J8u6IAC?adults=2&amp;children=none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Windsor<\/a>, you\u2019ll be transported back to the 1800s, with tiered cake stands, champagne and intricate porcelain gracing each table. Enjoy freshly baked scones, dainty sandwiches and house-blend tea, all while feeling like a Bridgeton character.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit the State Library Victoria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This central library is well-known for its Harry Potter-esque La Trobe Reading Room, where visitors read on wooden tables and chairs that look like giant spokes under a beautiful dome. But, you would do well not to judge a library by its most Instagrammable asset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the hallowed walls of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slv.vic.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State Library Victoria<\/a> you will also find Ned Kelly&#8217;s famous armour, a whimsical children&#8217;s reading space and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slv.vic.gov.au\/world-of-the-book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World of the Book<\/a>, a permanent but constantly evolving exhibition featuring over 300 rare and historically important tomes from the library&#8217;s collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also grab a bite and a coffee at Mr Tulk, the ground floor cafe named for the first librarian, admire the murals in honour of the end of the second world war, and go on a time-warp trip through Melbourne with Rennie Ellis&#8217;s striking social photography in <a

(the birthplace of test cricket) and Melbourne Park (home to the Australian Open Grand Slam tennis tournament). The fuss goes well beyond the grandstands, continuing to various pubs around the city \u2013 you haven\u2019t experienced true footy fever until you\u2019ve visited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londontavernhotel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The London Tavern<\/a> in Richmond on game day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sample <em>shokupan <\/em>at Melbourne\u2019s best Japanese cafes&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melbourne has long had a love affair with Japanese cuisine.

Constructed in 1923, Curtin House is Melbourne\u2019s six-storied, Art Nouveau building, acting as a bit of a vertical laneway, filled with hidden boutiques and nightlife venues. It\u2019s a one-stop shop for a no-fuss night out: start at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rooftopbar.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rooftop Bar<\/a> to catch the skyline at sunset, head to Thai restaurant and beer hall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiemelbourne.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cookie<\/a> for dinner and then boogie the night away at <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoff.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Toff.<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spot penguins in St Kilda&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ve likely heard about the penguin parade at Phillip Island, but did you know that St Kilda Pier is home to its very own colony of the little creatures?
