Destination Overview

  The chic, slick and sophisticated city of Melbourne offers visitors a mix of old and new.

The extensive parklands centred around the Yarra River to the south east of the central business district offer a great opportunity to escape and relax for tourists and locals alike.  

  Being on holiday in Melbourne, you will quickly understand why the city is considered to be Asutralia’s most multicultural destination.

There are more restaurants in Melbourne than there are days in the year.

An Australia holiday would simply be incomplete if Melbourne was not included on the itinerary. Whether you visit Melbourne as part of a longer itinerary or you choose a holiday to Melbourne as a destination in itself, you will not be disappointed. There is a sense of style and elegance wherever you choose to visit in Melbourne. Melbourne produces some of the best art, music, fashion, cuisine and design in the world. The character filled neighbourhoods have a buzz of creativity and this truly comes alive during the city’s film, comedy and food festivals. The flourishing theatre district, inspiring art exhibitions and sensational musical productions are unrivalled and unforgettable.

Melbourne is of course home to the Australian Open which is the first of the four Grand Slam tournaments in the annual calendar. But tennis is not the only sport the Melburnians are passionate about. The locals are crazy about the Australian Football League or “footy” as it is more affectionately known. To get a sense of the excitement that this stimulates make sure you go on your Melbourne holiday during the finals season and are in the city during one of the 8 games that lead up to the grand final.

The central business district is the heart of the city and it is laid out in a grid system, making it easy for the visitors on holiday in Melbourne to explore. The central business district is a wonderful mix of heritage and modern architecture, elegant streetscapes that are tree lined, with boundaries surrounded by parks & boulevards and all of this makes Melbourne one the world’s most liveable cities.

A Melbourne holiday is an excellent opportunity to visit natural attractions in the areas surrounding the city. These include The Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island, Daylesford and The Macedon Ranges.
