Melbourne

Australia's second biggest city, Melbourne is referred to as the "cultural capital of Australia". Ranked as one of the top three worlds most livable cities by 'the Economist', Melbourne is no wonder one of the favourite destination to world.With its spectacular combination of old and new architecture, elegant streetscapes, harmonious ethnic communities and lavish parks & gardens. Include Australia's best dining; an efficient transit system and a packed events calendar and you have all the ingredients for one of the most enlightened and liveable cities in the world.

Melbourne has something for everyone: family fare, local and international art, countless shops, multicultural dining, Australian and Aboriginal history, spectator sports and vibrant nightlife. Get your bearings on the free City Circle Tram loop around the city. For unique attractions, head to Healesville Sanctuary to see local animal species, or take the Aboriginal Heritage Walk in the Royal Botanical Gardens. Make a side trip to a national park to enjoy the area's rugged beauty. Melbourne features include Victorian-era architecture, bounteous cultural institutions museums, art galleries, theatres and spaciously landscaped parks and gardens. Its 3.5 million populations are multicultural and entirely sports-mad. Melbourne prides itself on being a great city. It's hardly surprising, Melbourne has a lively passion for social eating and drinking, which is reflected in the thousands of restaurants serving up gastronomic experiences from around the world.

Sophisticated and slick, edgy and rough, Melbourne’s physical and cultural landscape is shaped by a dynamic population, ever-ravenous for a bite of global culture. The result is Australia’s most accessible multiculturalism. Ornate Victorian-era architecture and leafy, established boulevards reflect the city’s history, and cutting-edge developments such as Federation Sq exemplify its enigmatic contemporary style. But, Melburnians still keep their urban frenzy to a deliciously sedate pace. Trams lumber back and forth on routes radiating out like spokes from central Melbourne, and cycling is a common way to get from A to Z.

Character-filled neighbourhoods, such as Fitzroy, St Kilda and Carlton, hum with life and the city produces some of the best art, music, cuisine, fashion, performance, design and ideas in the world. Melburnians are also devoted to their sport and they go ballistic around the Australian Football League (AFL; ‘footy’ to the locals) finals and during Spring Racing Carnival. They love to shop, eat and attend the myriad festivals that the city offers. You’ll even find them defending the city’s temperamental weather, and if you’ve ever experienced Melbourne’s inclination to plummet from searing heat to drizzling rain in the space of an hour, you’ll understand that this must be the true definition of unconditional love. MELBOURNE is the most European of Australia's cities, the European influence is perhaps most obvious in winter, as trams rattle past cosy cafés and bookshops, and promenaders dress stylishly against the chill.
