How This Photographer Captured The Soul Of Melbourne's CBD

Instagram has changed the way we see our world and has given photographers, professional or amateur, a way to share their images like never before. Melbourne is home to some of the very finest Instagrammers, and we caught up with Adrian Guglielmino, one of Melbourne’s finest up-and-coming photographers.

Melbourne’s Docklands and iconic Melbourne star ferris wheel, beautifully captured. If you are in the city during the winter months, make sure you catch the stunning winter fireworks display here.

The Webb Bridge in Melbourne’s Docklands is one of the most remarkable structures in the city.

The Yarra River pierces through Melbourne and continues out to the bay. Here we can see the Melbourne Arts Centre and the dominant Eureka Tower reaching high into the night sky.

Flinders Street Station clings on to the edge of the Yarra River and boasts the longest train station platform in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Queen Victoria Market holds two seasonal night markets. This one from the Winter Night Market captures brilliantly the buzz of a busy Wednesday evening full of good food and mulled wine.

The Birrarung Marr Bells are an installation of 39 brass bells for the centenary of Australia’s federation in 2001. They are situated between Federation Square and the William Barak bridge.

The William Barak Bridge, named after the last chief of the Yarra Yarra tribe, was built to improve the pedestrian experience and takes you straight the iconic MCG sports arena.

Melbourne is known for its many laneways and its changeable weather, but a sudden downpour need not ruin your plans: the Causeway is well covered and home to many great bars and restaurants. By Jamie Newell

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
