Everyone loves Melbourne

Everyone loves a city with a secret and in Melbourne there are many. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of laneways and discover independent boutiques, eateries and café culture with coffee that is becoming known as some of the best in the world.

Shoppers will be spoilt for choice from new shining icons like Emporium Melbourne and flagship luxury brand stores, to local designer boutiques in the laneways and arts and craft and designer markets in the nearby precincts. 

Melbourne is acknowledged by many as the food capital of Australia for the innovation of its chefs and fresh, quality produce. The city’s eclectic dining scene fuses a myriad of cultures and flavours from all around the world.

A major events capital, Melbourne is home to some of the most exciting international event in the world. The Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing Carnival each November is where the fashion on the field is just as important as the horses. Summer is synonymous with cricket and especially the annual Boxing Day test at Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Australian Open Tennis Championship each January is followed closely by the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in March and the cultural program kicks in with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Virgin Australia Fashion Festival and Melbourne Food & Wine Festival – all in March. 

With a growing reputation as a creative leader, Melbourne art is sewn into the fabric of the city, at street level, above and below, art is celebrated everywhere from a blockbuster events and exhibitions at world-class galleries to a the famed street art adorning the inner-city lane ways.

Being the second smallest state in Australia has its advantages - within 90 minutes’ drive of the city, you’ll encounter the quintessential Aussie life and native Australian wildlife amongst the stunning bush, hinterland, rainforest, alpine regions and miles of coastline. Victoria is truly the perfect starting point for any Australian adventure.
