A brief introduction to Melbourne

Australia’s cultural capital, Melbourne offers a wide and unique range of galleries and museums, along with a delicious culinary scene and charming laneway culture.

Begin your trip by seeing Melbourne’s European-inspired architecture; some noteworthy buildings include the Royal Exhibition Building and Flinders Street Station.

Art lovers can immerse themselves in masterpieces from world-renowned artists at 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 interesting scientific exhibits.

We also recommend experiencing Melbourne’s famous laneways. These unique alleyways feature local cafes, quaint bars, and award-winning restaurants, all of which are complemented by vivid street art. Some of the more popular laneways are Centre Place and Degraves Street, which are only a few minutes walk from each other. Approximately 10 minutes away by taxi is the foodie hub of Carlton, where some of the best restaurants in all of Australia can be found.
