A brief introduction to Melbourne

Renowned for being the cultural heart of Australia, Melbourne is famed for its diverse range of galleries and museums, tantalising food scene, and charming laneways.

Melbourne is said to emulate Europe more than any other Australian city - and you only have to gaze at the breathtaking architecture to see why. Some of the most iconic landmarks include the Royal Exhibition Building and Flinders Street Station.

Artistic masterpieces from around the world can be seen in the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art and the Heide Museum of Modern Art. The Melbourne Museum is also worth a visit as it is the largest museum in the Southern Hemisphere and is home to numerous captivating scientific exhibits.

We also recommend strolling down Melbourne’s famous laneways, which feature trendy cafes, chic bars, and award-winning restaurants, all of which are complemented by vibrant street art. The most popular laneways in the city are Centre Place and Degraves Street, which are a few minutes’ walk from each other. Just 10 minutes away by taxi is the foodie hub of Carlton, where you can find some of the best restaurants anywhere in Australia.

Melbourne is also a great starting point for many exciting day trips, with one of the most notable destinations being Mornington Peninsula. Approximately 90 minutes away from the CBD (Central Business District), it is the ideal place to unwind and relax as it boasts hot springs, parks, wineries, and beaches. Be sure to also venture out to nearby Port Phillip Bay, where you can marvel at gorgeous, picturesque views and go on memorable dolphin and seal swims.
