Things to check out around Hisense Arena?

The Melbourne Botanical Gardens are just across the Yarra from Hisense which is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. On the Southern side of the Gardens sits the Shrine of Remembrance which overlooks Swanston Street – the main thoroughfare through the CBD. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier rests within the commanding structure, and below is a brilliant museum dedicated to Australian and Allied soldiers past and present.
