Parkville is one of Melbourne’s most distinguished inner suburbs — home to the University of Melbourne (founded 1855), the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and the Royal Park precinct. The Melbourne Zoo, which opened at Royal Park in 1862, is one of Australia’s oldest and most-visited animal parks. Royal Parade runs through the suburb’s heart, connecting the CBD to the inner north with a tree-lined boulevard flanked by heritage buildings of the university precinct. The suburb’s intact Victorian and Federation-era streetscapes reflect its long history as a prestigious residential address.
