About Melbourne
Australia’s second largest city is the centre for the arts, culture, education and entertainment and has been ranked as one of the world’s most liveable cities in the past. The Melburnians as the locals are called love the vibrant energy of the city which is undoubtable a result of harmonious and culturally diverse communities living side by side in this sophisticated cosmopolitan city in the south-east corner of mainland Australia.
Set around the shores of Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne has developed into a modern, fashionable city with a fascinating mix of heritage architecture, innovative designs and a range of trendy bars, restaurants, chic boutiques and galleries, each with its own distinct character and personality. It’s no surprise to the locals that the city is also referred to as the "cultural capital of Australia".
Melbourne is easy accessible with extensive transport infrastructure including world’s largest tram network. The unusual streets and laneways in the CBD with sometimes controversial street art, spacious parks and gardens, the Yarra River, the cutting-edge new structures at the Federation Square and the colourful Brunswick Street are just few attractions that are worth to be seen and which give an insight of what Melbourne is all about.
Melbourne is also regarded as one of the sporting capitals of the world, playing host to major events such as the Australian Grand Prix, Australian Open Tennis Championship and the Melbourne Cup.
Regardless of how long you are staying here; once you uncover the emotions this city has to offer, you will discover true Melbourne.
