If you fancy seeing the city from a great height, then visit Melbourne 360, which is an amazing observation deck from which you can view the city from the top of the Rialto building. If you’ve got a real head for heights, then also be sure to check out Eureka Skydeck 88, which is a fantastic observation deck at the top of the Eureka Tower. From there, you can see the most spectacular panoramic views of the city. Also located here is The Edge, an amazing glass cube which sticks out of the building. You can go inside the glass cube (if you dare!) and take in all the incredible views!
