World heritage-listed Carlton Gardens are at the epicentre of this inner-city precinct.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its sparkling fountains, sweeping lawns, ornamental lakes and stately trees, has a special place in Melbourne’s history. The Royal Exhibition Buildings were designed for the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880 and were home to Australia’s first national parliament in 1901. The Melbourne Museum and IMAX cinema, with the world’s largest cinema screen, also call the Carlton Gardens home.
