Melbourne Information
Melbourne, the
cultural capital of Australia, is known for
the good things in life - fashion, food, entertainment
and sport. The capital of Victoria and Australia's
second-largest metropolis is a city of style,
of Victorian architecture, trams, theatres,
art galleries, leafy gardens, inner-city excitement,
and the beach.
Melbourne Attractions!
City
as a Whole
You'll barely meet a visitor who hasn't fallen
in love with Melbourne. Rattling trams, parklands
singing with blackbirds, stately architecture
and palm trees - it's like northern Europe
on the Mediterranean.
Food
and Wine
The influence of decades of immigration from
all over the world has made Melbourne a paradise
for those who love food and wine. Whole streets
are dedicated to food, whether it be Indian,
Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Greek,
or a host of other styles. You can't miss
the world-class wines either.
Design
Melbourne's love of style is no more evident
than in its architecture. From gorgeous Victorian
public buildings to designer hotels and dozens
of examples of post-Modernist constructions
scattered around the city, Melbourne's architecture
stands out. Interior design and arts and crafts
are also visual highlights of this happening
city.
