๐Ÿ’ก About Melbourne

Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia, is a stylish and creative city famed for its hidden laneways, world-class coffee, thriving arts scene and passionate sporting culture. Repeatedly ranked among the world's most liveable cities, it has an easy, cosmopolitan charm.

Melbourne's graffiti-splashed lanes hide tiny cafรฉs, wine bars and boutiques, while grand Victorian arcades and gardens recall the wealth of the 1850s gold rush. Its multicultural population has made it one of the great food cities of the Southern Hemisphere.

Sports are a religion here โ€” Melbourne hosts the Australian Open, the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the spectacle of Australian Rules football at the mighty MCG. Cool, artsy and endlessly diverse, Melbourne is Australia at its most sophisticated.
