Australia is a land of vast expanses, occupying an entire continent. Incredible beaches, picturesque forests, untamed wilderness with unique flora and fauna, developed urban infrastructure, and a rich cultural heritage—Australia manages to combine a maximum of possible facets. Yet truly getting to know the country will not be possible just by relaxing on the beaches and visiting well-known landmarks. To delve deeper, one should learn more about its cultural capital: its history, art, and traditions. These factors have significantly influenced the formation of Australia’s character.

The main challenge for any tourist is choosing places to visit. Tourist agencies do not always offer up-to-date options, and yet, one wants to spend their vacation in a way that leaves behind positive impressions. You no longer need to worry about this, as we have conducted our own investigation and found out where you can glean the maximum useful information. The list of Australia’s best museums will be presented below. 

Australian Museum in Sydney

The Australian Museum is a true historical and scientific artefact, vividly reflecting the development of this unique country. Here, a collection with over 18 million exhibits is presented. Impressive, is it not? Each of them reveals ancient traditions and culture of Australian Aboriginals, as well as the history of the first settlers and the diverse nature of the continent. Many displays are touchable, so children will not get bored strolling in this place. One thing that is definitely worth seeing is the life-sized skeletons of prehistoric animals. It is an enlightening experience that will leave no one indifferent. Museums also often host interactive exhibitions and public programs in the fields of nature conservation, human development, and mineralogy. If you have a few spare hours, you can make good use of them.

National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne

The gallery was founded in 1861, making it the oldest in Australia. Its extensive collection of artistic works from various eras comprises over 70,000 pieces, including creations by Giannino Castiglioni, Anthony van Dyck, Paolo Uccello, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Paolo Veronese, Dosso Dossi, Claude Monet, and Pablo Picasso. However, the gallery’s renown extends beyond its paintings, encompassing a diverse array of artefacts: ancient Egyptian artefacts, Greek vases, historical European ceramics, and a variety of sculptures. Notably, the gallery is divided into two separate buildings — the International Art Gallery and the Ian Potter Centre. Often, these facilities also host exhibitions of contemporary art, fashion, and design. 

Australian War Memorial, Canberra

In the heart of Canberra, the capital of Australia, stands the Australian War Memorial — a symbol of memory and respect for those who gave their lives for the peaceful future of their descendants. This memorial, surrounded by beautiful landscaping, serves as a vivid reminder of all the wars in which the Australian Union participated. The memorial complex includes the Memorial Zone, which encompasses the Hall of Memory featuring the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier, a military museum, a research centre, and an open-air Sculpture Garden. Within the Hall of Valour, one can see bronze plaques bearing the names of 102,000 Australian servicemen. It is deeply respectful that the plaques display only the names, devoid of awards and ranks, as in death all individuals are equal. Other exhibits comprise collections of weaponry, uniforms, and photographs — all aiding in comprehending the realities of war and its consequences.

Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), Hobart

The extraordinariness of this museum is evident even in its name since the location truly combines the uncombinable. In reality, it is a stunning symbiosis of antique and contemporary works of art. The unusual labyrinth of underground galleries, carved into the rocks, conceals treasures from globally renowned artists and sculptors. Glowing installations, sculptures, and paintings are aimed at eliciting a response from the visitor and prompting reflections on significant philosophical, social, and political themes. Often, the museum hosts various cultural events, such as literary evenings, live performances, and film screenings. This place opens new horizons for the perception of art, expanding the boundaries of creative thought.

Northern Territory Museum and Art Gallery, Darwin

More than 30 thousand exhibits of Australia’s cultural heritage are open for contemplation at the Northern Territory Museum. The location features five permanent galleries, a mobile exhibition, educational platforms for students, a theatre, souvenir shop, and café. So instead of a classic museum, visitors receive an entire cultural complex with an abundance of valuable landmarks that have left their mark on Australia’s historical heritage. The highlight of the museum is the 5-metre crocodile taxidermy, which appeals to both children and adults. The collection of paintings depicting the life of Aboriginals, ancient rituals, and traditions allows for a fresh perspective on the history of Australian lands and the connection between the present and the indigenous population.

Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane

Both galleries are united by the fact that they are part of the Queensland Cultural Centre. The Queensland Art Gallery presents a delightful collection of artworks spanning diverse periods and styles. Here, one can encounter masterpieces of classical painting, sculpture, and applied art: works by Pablo Picasso, Anthony van Dyck, Richard Godfrey Rivers, Giacomo Ginotti, and many others.

In turn, the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane offers a fresh perspective on contemporary art. Here, you can witness bold experiments with form, colour, and materials, where artists have brought forth their ideas, emotions, and experiences. Astonishing installations, modern painted masterpieces, and provocative sculptures compel the gaze to linger. Interestingly, the gallery often hosts triennials of contemporary art, organised in collaboration with the Queensland Art Gallery. Planning ahead for a visit to such an event is advisable, as it will doubly enhance the enjoyable impressions.

Museum of Western Australia, Perth

Functioning since 1891, the museum has managed to assemble an impressive collection of exhibits — over 4.5 million in total. In addition to historical displays describing the culture of indigenous people and their way of life, there are plenty of other intriguing discoveries here. Among the most astonishing are an 11-tonne meteorite and the skeleton of a blue whale. Equally captivating is the Maritime Dampier Gallery, where you can learn more about the Dampier Archipelago, its biodiversity, and its peculiarities. And the Discovery Centre is perfect for a family outing, as the exhibition is presented in an interactive format.

After acquainting yourself with Australia’s primary cultural locations, it becomes evident that the themes and formats of museum operation are rich in diversity. Depending on individual interests, every tourist can find something here to spend time profitably and glean more information about the establishment of Australia as a country, its history, culture, and art. 

How to find the time to visit all the museums in Australia

Undoubtedly, each of the listed museums is worth a visit. However, with time in short supply during your journey, you want to see as much as possible. The situation may seem challenging, but there is a solution. We suggest you acquaint yourself with some helpful tips for skilfully planning your time during your museum tour.

  1. Plan your itinerary. Before embarking on your adventure, compile a list of the museums you wish to visit and determine the order of your visits. This way, you can reduce travel time between them. However, consider the geographical locations and opening hours of the museums so as not to waste time needlessly.
  1. Check the museum’s opening hours and entrance ticket prices – this step is crucial and deserves separate attention, as it directly affects the success of the previous step. Optimise your time and do everything possible to avoid disappointment due to closed doors.
  1. Consider obtaining a museum pass. Individually, entrance tickets are significantly more expensive than the cost of a pass, making it an advantageous alternative. This will grant you free or discounted access to several museums, saving you money and time spent waiting in lines.
  1. Do not rush. Visiting museums in haste is not advisable, as you will not retain much. Allocate sufficient time to each museum to relish the exhibited items and to learn more about Australia’s history and culture. Remember that a thorough acquaintance with the exhibits outweighs the quantity of places visited.
  1. Rent transportation. Moving from city to city via public transport and trains is not the best idea when time-saving is a priority. For convenient travel between different museums, it is recommended to utilise car rental in Australia. This will enable you to flexibly plan your trips and easily reach even the most remote museum complexes. Cars in Australia can be rented on the website of LocalCarRents.

Visiting museums in Australia is a true adventure that will leave you with a sense of unity with Australia’s atmosphere and culture. By following our advice, you can cleverly utilise your time and relish everything these museums offer. Encompass the maximum possible to truly experience the multifaceted culture of this amazing country!

The pandemic has completely changed the way we work. While pre-2020 only saw 27% of people able to work remotely, it is now estimated that 62% of workers in the UK are now full-time hybrid working, which means time is split between the office and home.

With 33 million square meters of parkland, Madrid is the perfect city to choose if you work best outdoors.

Madrid is also incredibly easy and inexpensive to reach, with low-fare flights to Spain easy to find.

Many confuse the experiences of Singapore and Malaysia with each other, thinking that visiting one is fulfilling enough as it is. While this may be true, the complete Southeast Asia experience is best experienced in both countries. From unique food spots to iconic beaches—maybe you want to celebrate a milestone birthday in event space Singapore and Malaysia too?

If you’re still not convinced, read on! Here are the top 6 reasons why you should visit Singapore AND Malaysia this year.

1. They’re right next to each other!

Why You Should Visit Singapore And Malaysia 2022

When you travel, you want the best bang for your buck right? Since Singapore and Malaysia are right next to each other, you can go on a two-tropical country tour by flying to just either one. 

While there are cultural similarities between the two countries, the food, sights, and people do vary. Take in Singapore’s bejeweled city life and Malaysia’s lush green jungles in one extraordinarily planned trip. Just make sure you know your routes and tourist spots so you don’t waste fuel or energy!

2. The food scene is incomparable and iconic!

Image from Yu Jinyang on Unsplash

Southeast Asia is undeniably a food spot for foodies all over the world. As a melting pot of cultures, the region fuses many types of cuisines really well. Singapore and Malaysia are not exempt from this—both countries’ food culture is diverse in flavor and texture. 

For Singapore specifically, Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, and Indian influences are most evident. However, since the island currently stands as a leading ex-pat destination, Western food (like bagels, pasta, and sandwiches) is present now too. 

Must-try food in Singapore: 

  • Hainanese Chicken Rice Set 
  • Kaya Toast 
  • Nasi Lemak 
  • Soya Drinks 
  • Chilli crab
  • Hokkien prawn mee
  • Fried Carrot Cake

Image from Jordan Ling

Malaysia, on the other hand, also brings together many different cultures. However, their flavors and aromas are said to be more authentic to Southeast Asian cuisine (whereas Singapore is a mix between SEA and Chinese). Street food is also a stand-out in the country, whether in the city or the province. 

Must-try food in Malaysia: 

  • Ayam Percik 
  • Mee Goreng Mamak 
  • Apam Balik
  • Roti John
  • Beef Rendang 
  • Curry Laksa
  • Nasi Lemak

3. Singapore offers a balance of city life and tropical life!

Image from yokeboy on Unsplash

As a leading country in science and technology, Singapore definitely has unique experiences for tourists around the world. From a beautifully-lit Gardens by the Bay experience to a trip to their Art & Science Museum, the country makes science accessible to all. 

The beauty of Singapore’s take on all of this is that it does not sacrifice natural beauty for manufactured beauty. The aforementioned Gardens by the Bay capitalizes on the country’s biodiversity—boasting plants and flowers unseen in most places of the world. For holistic learning and experiences about the tropics, Singapore is the destination for you. 

4. Malaysia’s hospitality is one for the books!

Image from Yusron El Jihan on Unsplash

Malaysia, on the other hand, stands out globally for its friendly demeanors and hospitable lifestyle. The country is used to being the home of so many cultures, so living in harmony is no problem for them. 

For many people unfamiliar with Southeast Asia, taking your first trip can be intimidating because of how far and different it is from their current lives. As one of the most tolerant countries in the world, Malaysia is a good gateway to SEA culture and experience. 

This does not translate to tourism, either. Malaysia is one of the most trade-friendly countries in the world, open to new innovations and solutions in this fast-paced world. Budding start-up owners may be interested in piercing through the Malaysian (and eventually, Singaporean) customer base. 

5. Unique theme parks and event spaces!

Image from Ilyani Nasir and Nauris Pūķis on Unsplash

Taking kids with you on your trip but can’t bring them to big tropical adventures yet? Singapore and Malaysia have their fair share of theme parks and activities that are family-friendly! 

The most famous theme park in the region might be Universal Studios Singapore—which boasts 18 unique rides designed just for the Singapore park. Spend a day with your kids there by taking a short trip to Sentosa Island…or better yet, stay there for a few days! 

Here are some places you can visit in Resorts World Sentosa and Sentosa Island (that isn’t Universal Studios Singapore): 

  • S.E.A. Aquarium
  • Adventure Cove Waterpark
  • Crane Dance 
  • Trick Eye Museum
  • Sentosa Boardwalk
  • Scentopia
  • Madame Tussauds Singapore

Image from Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park

As for Malaysia, the country has a lot of underrated theme parks and activity spaces. The most famous theme park (as of now) might be Berjaya Times Square—the largest theme park in the country—but did you know Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park just opened as well? 

Take your children to Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park and bask in its nine themed park worlds, with some referencing popular 20th Century Fox movies like Ice Age, Rio, and Epic. 

Here are some themed and activity places you can visit in Malaysia:

  • LEGOLAND Malaysia
  • Adventure Waterpark
  • Sunway Lagoon
  • ESCAPE Penang
  • VAR Live
  • i-City Theme Park

6. Mind-blowing getaways!

Image from Joshua Tsu

Of course, it wouldn’t be a trip to Southeast Asia without having fun on beautiful, sandy beaches. Both Singapore and Malaysia have their tropical getaways, so you won’t miss out on the tropical fun whichever country you stay in longer. 

However, a quick Google probably will show you that there are simply way too many beaches to choose from. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, we’ve got the top picks per country for you! 

For those planning to have some beach fun in Singapore, Palawan Beach, Siloso Beach, and Tanjong Beach are must-sees. Any of these would offer memorable lounging and swimming experiences, but if you’re in a time crunch, Palawan Beach is the best choice (it’s just in Sentosa beach). 

Those on a budget can opt for a visit to Siloso Beach instead, which is a public beach. Lastly, Tanjong Beach is for young soul-searchers who want to party!

Image from Gaddafi Rusli on Unsplash

Being a generally bigger island, Malaysia offers more than just beach getaways; they are more island escapes than anything! Top ocean picks for tourists and locals in Malaysia include Turtle Beach, Coral Beach, and Monkey Bay Beach. 

Swim with wild turtles and snorkel with family at Turtle Beach, located at Perhentian Besar. If you’re looking for a more rugged tropical experience, sail away to Redang Island and swim in Coral Beach. Lastly, if you want a balance between land and sea tropical experiences, visit Monkey Beach on Tioman Island!

Condense the Southeast Asia trip experience by exploring Malaysia and Singapore! The two countries offer varied and unique experiences for all travelers, no matter their age and their ideas of “fun” are.

Crypto-Friendly Travel Destinations

Travelers look at many different pros and cons when choosing a vacation destination. When a locale is known for its hospitality and affordability, many people may book airline tickets and hotel accommodations. Others look closely at how well the area supports their hobbies, evidenced by many popular golf and diving resorts. And then some want to know how friendly a location is towards cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Vacationers don’t always rely on traveler’s checks and credit cards to cover expenses. So, they might prefer a place that welcomes crypto payments. 

Crypto and Tourism

Cryptocurrency is quickly becoming a favorite payment method among those heavily interested in technology. Tech advancements often make things easier for people, as many apps reveal. Does the travel destination also make things easier for the crypto enthusiast? The answer depends on where someone travels. Specific destinations might be more facilitating than others.

Crypto and Payment Options

A cryptocurrency fan may prefer to make all or some payments via digital currency apps, although the person might not stick with a crypto-exclusive payment strategy. Having more than one payment option appeals to tourists. If you lose cash, it is gone. Losing a credit card comes with hassles for replacing the plastic. Credit cards might get maxed out. Cryptocurrency payments add another option to payment methods, possibly removing some worries about running short on available funds.

Places to Travel

Anyone looking for a place where hotels, restaurants, and other tourist-friendly venues has a choice of two top locations: Spain and Austria. Many destinations in Europe seem welcoming to crypto holders, and these two countries rank at the top of the list.

Not every country encourages crypto payments. China and Qatar outright banned digital assets, which is their right. Maybe Vienna and Madrid will score wins with tourists while other countries miss out.

When in Rome, Use Crypto

One popular destination has drawn millions of tourists and will continue to do so for years. Rome, Italy, has so much to offer, and tourists flock to the location from all over the globe. Likely, Rome’s tourism authority and hospitality sector know that making things easier and accommodating the most comprehensive array of tourists helps keep popularity high.

Accommodation ranks as a top hospitality component, and Rome wants to accommodate crypto travelers. 20 hotels and five top restaurants accept crypto in the legendary city, which might be far more than what’s available in other places.

Other Top Locations

Even people who follow crypto news and trends might not know all the various locations that support digital currency payments. How many know Prague ranks as the second more welcoming cryptocurrency location in the Czech Republic? 33 restaurants and five nightclubs want everyone to know they accept digital payments.

The curious may wonder what location ranks as number one. The answer might surprise some. Ljubljana, Slovenia, holds the top spot. The number of shops and sports venues that accept cryptocurrency could be far higher than expected. Perhaps this city is one cryptocurrency traders may wish to explore.
