Help with new telescope choices

Hello!

I'm new to astronomy and I would love some help in picking a telescope. I have done tonnes of research and have left myself extremely confused, the more I learn the more I feel overwhelmed.

I want to start off with a telescope that would be easy to set up and would be portable as I live in the middle of Melbourne city and can't get a nice view of the night sky. I would love to be able to view stars, the moon and of course some planets. My budget is $400.

I like the look of this one! I have noticed dobsonians are recommended a lot for beginners Thoughts?

I have been on many sites and have read a lot of reviews and I would love someone to please point me in the right direction, thank you in advance!

Regards,
Hanora
