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 renowned 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.
