A Run and Early Dinner On The Tan
Picturesque runs followed by scrumptious nosh.
Overview
Bordering Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens lies The Tan, a 3.8-kilometre track surrounded by some of the city's greatest landmarks. Finish your day with a run or walk — or a mix of both, we don't judge — around the track, where you'll pass sites including the Shrine of Remembrance, AAMI Park and the Swan Street Bridge, which gives way to a stunning view of the CBD on a clear day. The Anderson Street incline busts quite a few calories, so you can afford to treat yourself after your exercise session. Post-light exercise session, hop over to Jardin Tan, Shannon Bennet's vibrant Vietnamese-inspired eatery for an early dinner — it's right in the middle of the Botanic Gardens, so plan your route accordingly.
