Stunning!!! However people are rude, my partner and I were taking a moment and appreciating the beautiful artwork and structural design in the section at the back of the church that says “please be quiet and don’t take photos” when an Asian lady proceeded to sit on my girlfriend after backing into her and almost knocking her over to get a better angle for her photo. Being able to light a candle was a beautiful touch as well. Overall church is beautiful.

Beautiful architecture and a very peaceful atmosphere within the Cathedral. There's a few information boards within, alongside lots of religious texts and artefacts. Very close proximity to the station and an iconic place to visit when in Melbourne.

This is a wonderful place to worship. I enjoy the architecture and the peace it brings. The spinning globe on display for a limited time brought modern to the classic scene was an interesting fusion. As I wrote this review, I sense God is saying the earth is my foot stool, as I recall watching it spin.

An impressive, breataking buffet of architecture to absorb. Such detail and effort was dedicated into the design and construction of this cathedral. A definite must see for anyone visiting Melbourne.

Beautiful Cathedral located in the heart of Melbourne. Free entrance so worth a visit!

This is the best and the biggest church in Melbourne. Awesone midnight mass and service, loved the ambiance and the presentation, so heart touching and beautiful it was. Definitely a must visit. So much history is laced in its core and its story.

The most beautiful church in Melbourne with a lovely community. They also have the most amazing choirs so definitely worth popping in for a service if you're in town.

Gorgeous! Church is huge and very ancient. very amazing Architecture! However, if you wanna take photos of the interior, they will request you to pay photography license i think 5 AUD. Regardless, its highly recommended. easy access by trams! Its in the free tram zone!

The most beautiful and eye catching church in Melbourne's CBD, particularly during the winter season, where it sits amongst the bare trees that is a photographers delight ! Very peaceful inside if you are seeking a safe haven away from the crowds and tourists.

St Paul’s Cathedral is an Anglican Church ⛪️ in the heart of city of Melbourne opposite the iconic Flinders Street station. It was built from 1880 to 1891 and the spires added later in 1926. It’s beautiful inside and worth a look if you are in Melbourne CBD.

Beautiful architecture. On entering, that quiet sense of peace enfolds you and you can't help but feel a little closer to our maker. Well worth the visit. Entry is free, but you may make a donation if you wish. There is also a small gift shop on sites.

St Paul's Cathedral is an absolutely stunning display of historical Catholicism and architectural splendour. The wood, stone, marble and stained-glass all add to the story of this building with mosaic artistry displaying biblical scenes. The care taken to preserve this building is simply a labour of love, so a huge thank you to the staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure the building is at the standard it is at.

St Paul's Cathedral, opened in Jan.1891 is an Anglican cathedral in Melbourne. It is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Melbourne and the seat of the Archbishop of Melbourne, who is also the metropolitan archbishop of the Province of Victoria. A must-visit when in Melbourne. Great tourist spot.

Located a short walk from Flinders Street station, this cathedral reminded me of the European cathedrals with its grand architecture both outside and inside. It was quite a humbling experience to be inside the church and to admire the design of the place. Deserves a short visit if you're a fan of grand cathedrals. I also love the messages of love they put forth in the church.

The building is ancient architecture and wonderful in front of Finder Station. This is a wonderful place to worship. I enjoy the architecture and the peace it brings. The spinning globe on display for a limited time brought modern to the classic scene was an interesting fusion. This one of place should visit and free for everyone including tourists and public.

Beautiful and historical church in the heart of Melbourne in a busy intersection. When you are in the church, all the noise outside is just silent. Peaceful place of worship or to meditate. Marvel at the beautiful architecture and stain glasses.

We visited the cathedral two times and joined the evening prayer on Friday. It was lovely to listen to the pipe organ and the choir. I and my friend especially enjoyed the gift shop with a lot of catholic accessories and brought back some of them to make necklaces. We are thankful for the staff’s kind assistance.

What an amazing and beautiful building in the heart of the city. The atmosphere is spiritual and welcoming. U feel very calm in the peaceful environment. I always like to visit here, when my mood is off or upset. Quiet place..... Nice atmosphere!!!

Calmest place in the middle of the city. One can spend their time praying and meditating in a silent and beautiful space. One could also write down prayers and intentions in a book which has its own dedicated place inside the Cathedral (middle-right hand side passage)

I love this place. I come on my lunch break to seek God and pray, and for services when I'm in the area. It is ornate, peaceful, reverent and utterly beautiful. One of my favourite places in Melbourne.

Amazing church if you like old buildings. $5 photo fee to take as many photos as you like which is really reasonable otherwise it's free to wonder around.

If you love architecture this is a must see! Steeped in history and tradition. If you are after beautiful services or quite reflection look no further! ?

Melbourne landmark buildings, need to spend money in the picture, it seems the church also need to generate revenues, we don't have to spend money on camera. It is a standard of the layout of the church, while there is no European cathedrals so majestic, but also in the southern hemisphere is good. The location of the church is very good, sit trams can arrive directly, opposite the station, graffiti is on the side of the street. It's worth going to Melbourne for the first time.

The place to get married for sure. So central to Melbourne. The many bypassers stopped to view the bride entering the church and clapping as she made her grand entrance. The stretch Maserati and driver supplied by RSV Limousines provided outstanding service.

Right in the heart of the city, this lovely church ruthat's a must see for anyone in Melbourne looking for lovely church that's right in the heart of the city. I've included a few snaps below. I particularly enjoyed the escape room, although it was very, very scary. There was a lovely clam that greeted me. Couldn't ask for much more.

Architecture and art in one. 🎻🌎 visited even before Luke Jerram’s installation art and the church gives tranquillity despite the busy streets of Flinders. Everyone is welcome, regardless of religion.

If you’re in the area, you should definitely visit this place, regardless of your faith. Serene ambience. If I’m not mistaken, this is one of the oldest building built in Melbourne. I’m not a Christian but yet, I liked the cathedral and the area around there!

Impressive Anglican cathedral in the heart of Melbourne. Classic neo Catholic style to it borrows heavily from the Roman tradition down to the doorways. Cut from a nice yellow sandstone by the looks of it, it remains a church in use to today. Just across from the similarly Impressive Flinders Street Station.

A place you must visit in CBD. The historical church for you to release your mind and feel the atmosphere in the past. Enjoy.

Beautiful 19th century Catholic Church across from the Old Federation Square train station. We decided to come inside to take a look. There were about a dozen people either sitting in the pews or walking around. It's free but donations are accepted by cash or tap.

Very nice architecture and is just in front of flinders station. Inside was very solemn, you can tour around and souvenir shops also available but always pay respect to those who went there to pray.

Very beautiful church!! I should've gone inside as of now I am seeing amazing architecture inside online..

If you travel to Melbourne, this is a place you must visit. Know history of Cathedral is awesome.

A great place to take pictures at the entrance with Flinders Street Station in the background. I highly recommend visiting this beautiful Gothic cathedral. Souvenirs are also sold at the exit.

Beautiful 🥰

It's a wonderful building. I did not take any photos inside so as not to disturb the worshipers. The donation box near the exit was cashless, and it was so interesting that I took a photo of it. A historic association and the latest touch payment. How about that.

The Church was one of the beautiful church I have seen. I have seen one bigger and older in Iran-Isfahan that was really amazing and Mysterious. There is a tile on the right left side of the main door of this Church. This tile is a replica of an eight-pointed star tile, which is found under the rose window over the main door of the Church of St Simon the Zealot in Shiraz and in St Luke's in Isfahan. There is some detailed wooden statues in this church that will be so instructing.

Went to have a look at the Cathedral, very picturesque. I was impressed with everything I looked at. While I was there, there was a Piano Recital as the Lunchtime Concert. It was given by Hannah Shin. What an accomplished Musician and Pianist. I personally enjoyed every minute of this Concert. We don't have Concerts like this or as much as good as this Level of performance. Congratulations Hannah and thank you.

Such a beautiful place to visit when in Melbourne. It shuts out the hustle & bustle of Flinders Street.

(Translated by Google) You can enter and leave freely. There is a charge for taking an internal photo. As you can see the steeple in the distance, you can go out as the center of the city. (Original) 出入りは自由です。内部写真の撮影は料金が発生します。遠くまで尖塔が見えるので、市街地の中心として外出の目印になります

(Translated by Google) It is an old church. (Original) 古い教会です。

Not bad, fact you have to pay $10 for a photo licence is a bit much. I would think the more photos you allow, the more people would come to admire it.

Loved getting married in St Pauls Cathedral full choir bell. My x was catholic and l am church of England. Similar for us both to.have A NORMAL SERVICE.No Mass..CBD..There is another church St Patricks Church for Catholics. * But St Pauls was alot more ELITE..l remember the photographer could only TAKE a few photos as it wasn't allowed. They may have Mass there now ? But i doubt it ...Susanne Reynolds Melbourne. End.Hills...

(Translated by Google) There is a fee to shoot inside, but the inside is so-so. (Original) 拍裡面要收費，但裡面就一般般。

Cool

It is one of the most beautiful cathedral i had ever been!The peacefulness and beauty on entering the Cathedral are inspiring. I always find solitude here.Windows each tell a story with beautiful stain glass pictures.Definitely recommended.

Cute little church in Melbourne's centre

Beautiful church ?

It became obvious why Catholics had built such beautiful cathedrals and churches throughout the world. Not as gathering or meeting places for Christians. But as a home for Jesus Himself in the Blessed Sacrament. Cathedrals house Jesus. Christians merely come and visit Him. The cathedrals and churches architecturally prepare our souls for the beauty of the Eucharist... Perhaps this cathedral is such a great one and reflects the culture

Beautiful a very historic place to visit

(Translated by Google) Its architecture is very beautiful (Original) Su arquitectura es muy bonita

Good but hardly spectacular cathedral, if you've been to a few. Worth a visit. Free unless you want to take photos.

Very nice place. Must visit.

What's not to like about this beautiful church Truly a piece of art and history.

visited there on weekend. fascinated by what wS inside very large spire at,Altar end of cathedral . did my own Open House tour. very helpful gent at entrance

The enter price for photographer is depends on how big of your camera & lens. I ask my mom take my sony A9 and change the small len of 55mm 1.8.

Nice st. Pauls Anglican church, didn't go their for their mass as I'm not Anglican. I'm Roman Catholic. Went their with many catholic friends to see a beautiful Mozart played in hail Mary and our father. It was amazing, highly recommend it. We tried to book @ saint Mary's star of the sea. It was booked out. Overall the architectural @ saint Pauls was nice wouldn't go for their mass, can't take their eucharist as I'm baptised catholic and will never change. God bless.

The light show before Christmas is really nice.

Great place to worship right opposite flinders street station beautiful inside too

Stunning cathedral and welcoming staff. There is a QR code to read about the history of the cathedral which was good to learn.

A great place to have a casual stroll through and take in the sights, view the stained glass, its absolutely massive but worth stopping by if you have never been or rarely visit Melbourne.

I went there to watch a carol choir concert. The cathedral was amazingly beautiful

Lovely church. Worth a visit

Loved it the cathedral, definitely a beautiful place to visit for anyone. You don't have to be religious to appreciate the architectural beauty and the peaceful ambiance of St Paul's cathedral. Truly spectacular!

Come here often for worship. Everything I come all clergy and staff. Treat you like a real person. You feel wanted. Worth a 1000 stars

It's a place that bodies have to miss, doesn't matter the religion or culture, entering in this church it's possible feel a peaceful time. The Cathedral is a great place to visit here in Melbourne.

Calm and silent. Beautiful, elegant architecture. Maintained and managed perfectly. Clean and tidy. Kids friendly. Worth visiting.

The world globe was amazing and the information good to read about a beautiful cathedral and well kept. Our only issue is how loud the music was. This is of course a personal thing and some people may not find it as loud.

Had a wonderful time. One of the volunteers spent an hour with me going over relics and statues. Be sure to get at a map at the entrance

The Cathedral has a wonderful atmosphere. It was easy to sit quietly and pray. The church was well attended for a Saturday afternoon with many people taking in the audio visual of the planet.

Beautifully constructed cathedral with rich architectural heritage. The Gaia exhibit was on when we visited!

It's located opposite Flinders Street station (diagonally) towards north west, a neo-Gothic style cathedral that was completed i 1891, so you can expect beautiful decorative pattern.

Beautiful architecture, colour floors and windows, stone columms and wood decor. Came as a visitor, there was a memorial for families affected by COVID, clerical collection display, private silent chapel, kids draw board, and other community arts. Could imagine the grandeur of a service here would be nice.

Another amazing church in Melbourne with Gothic Revival style of design. Leave the bustling Flinders Street Station intersection behind, St Paul’s Cathedral is an Anglican church located on the busiest intersection opposite Federation Square. Arrived downtown quite late, so it’s a pity I didn't get to admire the interior of the church. Maybe I’ll schedule next trip to visit again.

Our visit to Saint Paul's Cathedral wasn't planned. As it turns out we're pleased we did. We sat and enjoyed the vastness of the space and spiritual serenity. Praying wasn't on my agenda so I simply slowed down with the meditative calmness and took in the wonderful architecture. A really welcome respite from the rushing City outside. With the high stone walls and solid structure I notice a feeling of security and safety. Churches don't need structures of this nature, they are more about People I thought, however, maybe I'm different now. This place, the building and space within are a real refuge providing a kind of powerful resolve that's not religious.

A beautiful cathedral in the middle of the city. Very amazing architect and a great place to go and pray. Once you're inside, all the noise of the outside world is gone and you can just concentrate on how beautiful this cathedral really is

Absolutely Beautiful Church. Not to be missed, right opposite Flinders Street and Federation Square in Melbourne City! The atmosphere is peaceful and divine and the little gift shop is must check out! The church holds alot of history and the architecture is one of a kind.

Astonishing historic building. Delicate and solemn. It would take you 10-15 mins if you just want to look around.

Best church I have been to yet! Their traditional service is truly amazing! They are not afraid to show images and pictures of Jesus! They send out a newsletter once a week if you subscribe via email, giving detailed information on what's upcoming. They rotate between preachers which is refreshing and the people who attend are super friendly. The church is in a super convenient location, with Flinders St station across the road, and nearby tram stops. Cafes are also located nearby. This church also has visiting hours for tourists and has musicians who play on Wednesdays at 1:00pm weekly. The inside of the church is truly stunning! I definitely recommend thia church!

The most beautiful cathedral and largest I have been to in Australia. Lovely staffand we attended church service also

A beautiful old architecture right at Flinders Station. I visited the cathedral during my solo to Australia. It was lovely to listen to the pipe organ and the choir. There is a gift shop with a lot of catholic accessories. You find lot of peace here. It’s a good place to worship. Once you are inside the cathedral you forget everything. In the heart of the city.

An impressive and stunning cathedral. A must see building in Melbourne CBD.

It’s near Flinders street station where is one of the iconic spots of Melbourne. Nice building both outside and inside. Can buy souvenirs at there as well.

The atmosphere is warm, and the people are friendly, creating a welcoming environment for visitors. However, my experience was slightly marred by what I perceived as an undue focus on politics and political biases that, in my opinion, detracted from the sacred ambience that one would hope for in a cathedral. In a place dedicated to the teachings of the Lord, I expected a more singular focus. However, if you can overlook the occasional political aspects, this Anglican Cathedral offers a serene space for reflection and worship.
