Melbourne

Regularly voted the most liveable city in the world Melbourne is an exciting mix of art, music, food, sport, gardens and it has a major obsession with coffee.

Built on its wealth from the Victorian gold fields in the 1850’s Melbourne’s beautifully preserved buildings from the historic landmarks of Flinders Street Station to the Royal Exhibition Building sit in harmony with more contemporary buildings like Federation Square on the banks of the Yarra River.

Melbournians love their multicultural food. There are many ethnic ‘eat streets’ featuring a Greek Precinct, Little Italy, the oldest Chinatown outside of Asia, and historic Jewish bakeries on St Kilda’s Acland Street. Discover the Queen Victoria Market where you can pick up the freshest ingredients or handicrafts.

Walking the many laneways, you will quickly fall in love with what makes the city of Melbourne so great. Uncover the hidden gems of Centre Place, the Block and Royal arcades where you can grab a scrumptious meal, or a unique design piece from one of the city’s many stylish boutiques. Hosier Lane is a mecca for those interested in the vivid street art brightening several alley ways.

Sport-lovers will enjoy a tour of the mighty MCG, home to both the cricket and Aussie Rules football. Stroll around the superb Royal Botanic Gardens and Fitzroy Gardens, pay your respects at the Shrine of Remembrance, with spectacular views of the city.

Visit the famous Acland Street, the bohemian heart of seaside St Kilda. It’s a wonderfully energetic and eclectic streetscape as artists, actors, and musicians put on shows in the town’s iconic theatres, galleries, and bars. It pairs a proud history of art and culture with the best of Melbourne food, shopping and entertainment. As the sun sets head to St Kilda pier to see the penguins come in from the ocean. And don’t forget, just down the road there are the colourful bathing boxes of Brighton Beach, like a classic postcard brought to life.
