Melbourne is regularly voted one of the world’s most liveable cities. Home to world class art galleries, excellent restaurants, hip cocktail bars and smart designer shopping.
It is also a sports mad city with major events such as the Australian Open Tennis, Formula One Grand Prix and Boxing Day Cricket Test all vying for top billing against AFL football, Rugby League and Rugby Union. There is a reason why people say that Melbournians will turn up to the opening of a letter.
The world class NGV Art Gallery has two main locations each with excellent permanent collections and tours, with a major extension also underway.
The city has a labyrinth of laneways many of which are covered in street art and are home to designer shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.
