Sophisticated and cosmopolitan are probably words befitting Melbourne, Australia’s second largest city. Sitting on the northern tip of Port Philip Bay, the city can be explored on a cruise down the Yarra River or in a colonial tramcar. Feel the creative pulse at Flinders Lane, which has the densest concentration of commercial galleries in Australia – a testament to Melbourne’s vibrant arts scene. Shopping is never enough at Chapel Street with its myriad local designer boutiques or at the sprawling open-air Queen Victoria Market. For some sporting action, there is no lack of exciting events to fill spectator stands all year round.
A quick getaway from the urban conurbation is all it takes to be rewarded with some of Victoria’s most spectacular regions. Drive down the scenic coastal Great Ocean Road or get up close with Australian wildlife on Philip Island. Book accommodation in our choice hotels today to experience all that Melbourne has to offer.
