Details

Carlton sits immediately north of the central grid and is one of the ten suburbs named in the City of Melbourne precinct guide. Melbourne Museum, the Royal Exhibition Building, and Carlton Gardens form a practical shared precinct, while Lygon Street adds food and retail choices. Check individual venues for tickets and access because the gardens are open space but exhibitions and tours follow separate conditions.
