A brief introduction to Melbourne
A thriving city filled with unique laneways, fascinating galleries and museums, and a mouth-watering culinary scene, it is little wonder that Melbourne is known as Australia's cultural capital.
Experience Melbourne’s one-of-a-kind laneways, which feature local cafes, trendy bars, and award-winning restaurants, all of which are complemented by colourful and vibrant street art. Some of the most popular laneways in the city include Centre Place and Degraves Street, which are just a few minutes walk from each other.
Art and history enthusiasts can immerse themselves in Melbourne’s European-inspired architecture, with some of the more noteworthy landmarks being the Royal Exhibition Building and Flinders Street Station. Be sure to also view artistic masterpieces from world famous artists at the National Gallery of Victoria, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, and the Heide Museum of Modern Art.
To indulge in the city’s delicious culinary scene, we recommend visiting the foodie hub of Carlton, which is where some of the top restaurants in all of Australia can be found.
If you need a break from the city, we recommend heading to stunning Mornington Peninsula, just a few hours' drive from Melbourne. Enjoy the natural beauty of its beaches, coastline, and vineyards, and discover the region's rich history and culture. Take a leisurely stroll along the rugged coastline, admire the colourful bathing boxes, and savour the flavours of locally produced wines. The Enchanted Adventure Garden offers a fun-filled day out for families, with its mazes, tree surfing, and zip-lining. For those interested in history and art, the charming town of Sorrento boasts a variety of historic buildings, galleries, and boutique shops.
