The BEST Jigsaw Puzzles of MELBOURNE!
We look through what it takes to be one of the BEST puzzles that expresses Melbourne, essentially helping you to discover the city of Melbourne a piece at a time~
Melbourne is filled with a thousands upon thousands of sights to see – from picturesque landscapes to quaint hidden alleyway gems, and throughout our bustling streets our fine city still offers a unique experience to everybody that comes by. Some of these beautiful little views have been captured by the extremely talented (and local!) photographer, Chris Cincotta, along with one of our most popular puzzles, ‘The Melbourne Map 1,000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle’, a fully illustrated representation of the city of Melbourne, down to the finest details!
The jigsaw puzzles vary as they’re all set in different locations from across and as an overview of Melbourne. The central theme from Chris Cincotta’s “Melbourne I Love You” collection is designed to capture the essence of the city and to view it from an artistic lens, while the New Zealand (Holdsons Company) manufactured ‘The Melbourne Map’ set is a more illustrated re-make of the city from up high! These lovely jigsaws re-acquaint those with the simplicities of puzzles building, additionally they can be put together either solo or with friends and family which makes for a great group activity as well.
The various pictures from the ‘Melbourne I Love You’ series of jigsaws include ‘Romance on the Yarra’, ‘The Rainbow Laneway’, ‘Iconic Melbourne’, ‘The Great Ocean Road’ (and many more), and ‘The Melbourne Map’ puzzle is essentially a draw-over from an image of the city with some minor yet charming, artistic liberties. Each of these are 1000-piece puzzles and are quite the fun challenge to put together. Here are some of the jigsaws from Chris Cincotta’s series, and their dimensions:
