A brief introduction to Melbourne
Australia’s cultural capital, Melbourne is well known for its diverse selection of galleries and museums, thriving culinary scene, and charming laneway culture.
An internationally influenced city, it’s said that Melbourne emulates Europe more than anywhere else in Australia – and you only have to look at its architecture to see why. Some noteworthy buildings include the Royal Exhibition Building and Flinders Street Station.
Artistic masterpieces from around the world are housed in the National Gallery of Victoria, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art and the Heide Museum of Modern Art. The Melbourne Museum is also well worth a visit - it’s the largest museum in the southern hemisphere and boasts a number of scientific exhibits.
We also recommend experiencing Melbourne’s famous laneways, which feature local cafes, small bars, and award-winning restaurants, all complemented by striking street art. Some of the more popular laneways are Centre Place and Degraves Street, which are only a few minutes’ walk from each other. A ten minute taxi ride north will take you to the foodie neighbourhood of Carlton, where you can find some of the best restaurants in all of Australia.
