Melbourne
Melbourne is chic, stylish and a melting pot of multiculturalism. Renowned for being one of the world’s most livable cities. The capital of Victoria and Australia’s second-largest city. This down-to-earth city is oozing with funky hidden bars, cool cafes and boasts a galore of shopping.
Taste the coffee culture, try an Aussie-styled brunch or tickle your senses at the endless restaurants on offer. Visit art galleries, or go to the famous Queen Victoria Market to savour local produce. Go neighbourhood hopping - stop by the hip seaside suburb, St Kilda. Stroll along the jetty and try to spot Fairy penguins.
Wander down Chapel Street or feel fancy in South Yarra. Admire vintage stores on Brunswick Street or view street art on Flinders Lane. Soak up the bright lights in Chinatown or slow down at Brighton Beach. This colourful place has an abundance of parks and nearby nature to explore too!
