The city of Melbourne is timeless and vibrant. It is the perfect spot for a proposal at night with all the city lights and views. There are also a number of stunning locations during any time of the day or evening. Start with a show and dinner, and maybe choose a horse and carriage ride to set the scene. The botanical gardens are lovely, or why not enjoy a river cruise around the city.
