Get to know Melbourne

Since its gold rush of the 1880s, Melbourne’s journey to affluence from Aboriginal beginnings has turned it into a metropolis streaked with idiosyncratic laneways and arcades, embellished with viridescent botanic gardens and Victorian landmarks. Packed with ardent institutions championing Australian live music, art and cultural pursuits, whether you’re at Chapel Street or Brighton Beach, sipping coffee or soaking in Hosier Lane’s street art, Melbourne is a goldmine of endless fun.
