About Melbourne

With regular medal-winning appearances in the Economist’s Most Liveable Cities list (taking the top award three times since 2002), Melbourne has a right to be boastful. But despite it’s temperate climate, safe streets, cosmopolitan lifestyle and beautiful setting, locals remain low-key about their city.

They know that Melbourne is Australia’s undisputed event, sport, culture and food capital; a city with a European approach to style and a lifestyle that puts it in the fast lane. No need to shout.

Australia is famed for being free of social and political turmoil and filled with sun, surf and beaches, unique native flora and fauna, and warm, friendly people. And nowhere will you find these qualities more evident than in Melbourne. A modern, multicultural metropolis of four million people, it is a city that has made blending business with pleasure a sophisticated art form and a way of life.

Melbourne truly understands how to conduct business on a global level; however it has also been aptly described as 'Australia's most stylish city after sunset'. There are plenty of things to do in Melbourne. Easily navigated on foot, the city’s confidence and success are infectious; whether closing a deal or relaxing with colleagues and new friends, Melbourne is the perfect destination.

Melbourne Highlights

Visitors to Melbourne are delighted and amazed by the sheer breadth of unique sightseeing and entertainment experiences that are available within a short stroll, tram, train or taxi ride of the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) and the city's 23,000 hotel rooms.

Whether you're taking a short break between sessions or after a hard day's work, or have arranged a few days of personal time, you are just minutes away from sandy beaches or any one of the beautiful parks and gardens sprinkled throughout the city; and just hours away from wine country, old gold mining towns, snowfields and the world-famous surf coast.

There is no shortage of things to do in Melbourne’s city centre. You can wander through art galleries, tour historic sites along the 'Golden Mile Heritage Trail', experience the living Australian Forest and indigenous display at the Melbourne Museum or maybe take a leisurely cruise along the Yarra River past Southgate, the Docklands and the MCEC.

Recognised as the 'food capital' of Australia, Melbourne is also renowned for its fabulous shopping. Melbourne attractions include designer stores in the city; the exclusive boutiques of Chapel Street; and bargain-hunting in the buzzing atmosphere of the Queen Victoria Market. And when wandering in the city, peer down almost any laneway and catch a glimpse of the 'secret Melbourne' – a place of edgy art, hidden bars and cutting-edge design.
