Melbourne

Melbourne has world-class dining, art galleries, and thriving homegrown fashion. The centre of Melbourne is threaded with cobbled laneways, which have become a mecca for coffee shops, cafés and unique shopping boutiques. Sports enthusiasts can hit the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) for international cricket matches or Australian Football League matches. There is also the Melbourne Cup, and the Australian F1 Grand Prix.
For those pursuing arts and culture, Australia’s oldest national gallery (1861) hosts an exciting range of international and local exhibitions and events. The city is also home to the Australian Center for the Moving Image (ACMI) and Heide Museum of Modern Art.

Outdoor activities in Melbourne include walking and cycling in one of the many beautiful parks, scuba diving or spending time at one of the many beaches nearby. The Dandenong Ranges National Park a few km east of the city allows for a beautiful daytrip, with the park offering stunning nature, great walking and hiking and fantastic views.
