Melbourne Region Information
Melbourne is Australia's most European and stylish city, a melting pot of different cultures and sophistication. It has a distinctive character forged from the many different people who have made it home. It’s a thriving fusion of world cultures, modern facilities and classic architecture, it embraces art and music with gusto and is home to the most sports mad population in Australia.
Melbournians enjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle that is second to none. A huge range of eclectic dining choices, nightlife to rival any in the world, dozens of art galleries and museums, as well as internationally acclaimed performance art including theatre, music and comedy. Major sporting events are a regular feature of Melbourne and it has arguably the best shopping anywhere in Australia.
In holiday mode in Melbourne there are fantastic attractions - the kids will love the Aquarium and the Zoo or take a trip to the top of the Eureka Tower, one of the world tallest residential towers. There are some wonderfully pretty parks and gardens where you can slow down for a while, or you can take a stroll along the walkways beside the Yarra River, stopping off for a coffee when the feet are weary.
Away from the CBD Melbourne is no less impressive. There are a mixed bag of distinct suburbs around the city also which are well worth exploring. Most can be easily reached by a quick tram ride and each has its own distinct character and claims to fame. Bayside St Kilda is relaxed and ecletic, a great place to enjoy an outdoor beer garden on a warm day or stroll the incomparable Acland Street cake shops. Richmond is famous for it's designer outlets and boutique shopping streets while Lygon Street in Carlton has become almost a national institution for Italian dining.
Melbourne is one of the world's great cities - discover it for yourself in all it's guises.
