This cultural capital serves up world-famous coffees with an extra shot of style.
With its effervescent arts scene and divine drinking and dining options, Melbourne lives up to its reputation as Australia’s cultural capital. Melbourne’s laneways are a canvas for creativity, whether that’s in the form of vibrant layers of street art, or hole-in-the-wall cafés and bars where locals perch on milk crates close to the bluestone. Despite being Australia’s largest city by population, Melbourne balances out its cosmopolitan flare with a hint of laid-back charm – thanks to Melburnians’ recognition that play is just as important as work. Speaking of play, it’s not all cabaret and cocktails in marvellous Melbourne. This city is also mad about sports, as demonstrated by a recently added public holiday celebrating the annual Grand Final of the Australian Rules Football (AFL) season. Melbourne roars to life for a variety of sports throughout the year. The Australian Open brings tennis stars Down Under in summer, the Formula One Grand Prix takes over Albert Park in March and it’s all things AFL during winter. Melbourne’s Central Business District is extremely easy to navigate thanks to its orderly grid system, with free trams on hand to whisk you from brunch to bar, and beyond.
