The Royal Botanic Gardens actually has two locations, but it is the Melbourne Gardens that has been impressing visitors while they take some time to relax in the greenest part of the city. With over 50,000 individual plants and over 8,500 different plant species, you can explore these gardens for hours or bring a picnic and relax by the lake. If you are up for it, you could crack some laps around the 3.827km running track known as The Tan. Craig Mottram holds the record for the fastest time around the track at 10 minutes and 8 seconds.
