Parliament House in Melbourne
Located at the intersection of Spring Street and Bourke Street in the CBD, Parliament House is one of the most iconic and recognisable landmarks in Melbourne. It has been housing the Parliament of Victoria since 1855, and was shortly the seat of the Parliament of Australia when Melbourne was the Federal Capital between 1901 and 1927.
The building is a reminder of how wealthy the city was during the Gold Rush, and no expenses were spared to build this imposing Victorian structure. A majestic grand staircase takes you from the street to its no-less-impressive interiors, ornate with columns, carved ceilings and grand halls.
You can visit Parliament House and get a free tour of the premises on weekdays, and there is no need to book when the Parliament is not sitting. On sitting days, you can still take a tour but you may be required to book in advance.
Parliament House is easily accessed with any trams going up Bourke Street or Collins Street, or with the city circle line and trams running along Spring Street. Parliament House is located in the free tram zone area, so you don't need a ticket if you travel within the CBD.
