A Brief introduction to Melbourne
Known as Australia’s most ‘European’ city, Melbourne is famous for its quaint laneways, charming cafe culture, and contemporary and classic art scene.
We recommend starting your journey by visiting the city’s famed laneways, which are brimming with local cafes, chic bars, and welcoming restaurants serving up an array of cuisines. Centre Place and Degraves Street are two of the city’s most famous laneways and are just a few minutes’ walk from each other.
Art enthusiasts will appreciate the many galleries and museums dotted around Melbourne. Be sure to visit the Koorie Heritage Trust, the Immigration Museum, and Australia’s oldest art museum - the National Gallery of Victoria. To experience the city’s vibrant and colourful street art, Hosier Lane, AC/DC lane, and Centre Place are all must-visits. Be sure to enjoy a hot flat white while taking in the sights and listening to live local music.
