Melbourne is a diverse city that knows how to live. A city that's absolutely jam-packed with things to see and do, from roaring sports stadiums to the labyrinth of colourful laneways.
Choose from high-end cuisine to basement rock gigs, plays, festivals and blockbuster sporting events – all happening across a city full of parks, gardens and historic architecture.
Explore historic arcades and laneways lined with fine dining restaurants, chic cafes, hidden bars and fashion boutiques or head to one of the many lush gardens throughout the city.
Discover Melbourne's obsession with football, cricket and soccer, as well as hockey, tennis and just about anything else that involves working up a sweat. Head to the sports precinct to visit the iconic ground of the MCG.
In Melbourne everything is live and full of energy. Turn up the volume at a concert hall, bar, pub, or open air stadium with music from local and international talent taking over venues across the city.
