Melbourne

A magnet for culture vultures and coffee lovers, Melbourne’s bohemian vibe and exciting art scene captures the heart and captivates the imagination.

Home to sophisticated urban dwellers with an unerring taste for great coffee, world-class art and trendy fashion, Melbourne offers charming surprises at every corner.

One of the city’s secret treasures is its tapestry of cobbled laneways that run through the CBD. Tucked between tall buildings, these laneways are dotted with exclusive fashion boutiques and a delightful range of tiny cafés serving Melbourne’s fabled artisan coffees.

An international hub for sports and cultural experiences, Melbourne offers an annual lineup of festivals and events such as the Melbourne Cup known as the ‘richest two-mile handicap’ thoroughbred horse race, and the Moomba Festival, Australia’s largest free community cultural festival.

Melbourne has no shortage of prestigious museums and galleries such as the National Gallery of Victoria, which is Australia’s oldest art museum. The city’s creative heartbeat can also be experienced out in the open and for free.

Look up and around to see Melbourne’s streets adorned with bold, brilliant street art in places such as Croft Alley in Chinatown, AC/DC Lane and Hosier Lane.

With its vibrant coffee and art scene, it’s no surprise that Melbourne has long been celebrated as Australia’s cultural capital and one of the most innovative cities on the planet.
