Melbourne Travel

Chic Melbourne is home to non-stop festivals, world renowned dining, art and cultural events, and musical shows, making it the "style-setter" of Australia. It is possibly the most "European" cities in Australia.

Set around the shores of Port of Phillip Bay, Melbourne is known for it's well laid out rectangle of neatly angled streets and distinct enclaves, each with it's own cultural pulse.

Truly metropolitan with everything from designer shops to local markets, Melbourne vibrates with activity and charm. A short tram ride takes you to the City Fringe where suburban life in Fitzroy and Carlton offer an Italian and alternate lifestyle flare. Or go south to Yarra into the stylish section of shops and dinning spots. Head east to Richmond that blends Greek and Vietnamese influences. West to Albert Park and Port Melbourne and view nineteenth century streetscapes.

Within an hour of Melbourne, enjoin a visit to the vineyards and countryside of Yarra Valley and the tall forests of the Dandenong Ranges.

Phillip Island offers fun for the entire family with numerous water sports and marine wildlife to observe.

The Mornington Peninsula offers world class golf, olive groves and restaurants along spectacular sea vistas.

Pamper yourself at Daylesford - sample mineral waters, explore antique shops, boat excursions on the lake and shopping in boutiques before settling in to a fine cuisine at many of the renown restaurants. Enjoy Melbourne.
