21 Melbourne Walks That Will Make You Want To Explore The City On Foot
At least, when it’s not raining.
Bayside Coastal Trail
Enjoy a few kilometres of fresh air with some killer views of the bay. The Bayside Coastal Trail stretches 17km, but you don't have to go all the way from Beaumaris to Brighton. The track passes through Sandringham, Hampton and Black Rock along the way, so you can make the walk as long as you like, but don't skip a pit stop at Half Moon Bay.
Dights Falls Trail
Yarra Bend Park feels so far removed from the city, it's hard to believe that it's less than 10km from the CBD. Follow the Dights Falls Loop Trail: starting from Kanes Bridge, it follows the Yarra along to the falls, and then loops back around to the starting point. It's an easy 4km and will take you around an hour or so. Great for when you need a break from the city, or life in general.
Royal Park, Melbourne
They don't call Melbourne the most liveable city for nothing — where else can you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but still see the city skyline in the distance? Follow the Capital City Trail through the oasis of Royal Park, and when you hit Flemington Road, head left onto Elliot Avenue and back up The Avenue to where you started. It's about a 5km round trip of secluded times with the trees (and the occasional animal noise from the zoo).
Two Bays Walking Trail
Located about an hour's drive down the Mornington Peninsula, this stunning 28km bay-to-bay walking trail will take you from Dromana over to Cape Schank on the other side. It will take the better part of the day — but there's really no better way to spend it.
