Tourism Victoria
For a vibrant, exciting and sophisticated city, you can’t go past Melbourne.
With chic fashion stores, buzzing laneway cafés, trendy bars, galleries and theatres, the city is also alive with an astonishing array of sporting, film and food events.
In Melbourne things are not always what they seem. A blank doorway could lead to an opulent restaurant, a spiral staircase could take you to a lively rooftop bar, or a tiny cul-de-sac could conceal cafes, galleries and designer boutiques.
Visitors to this enchanting city will enjoy some of Australia’s best eating and drinking with an array of award-winning and acclaimed restaurants, cafes, bistros and bars. Melbourne’s dining spots offer a dizzying spread of the world’s great cuisines.
Melbourne is also the starting point to explore some of Australia's most spectacular coastlines, wildlife reserves, award winning wineries, temperate rainforests, surf beaches, winter highland skiing and historic townships. Just one hour’s drive takes you to a world away.
