The capital of Victoria and the second largest municipality in Australia, Melbourne is often referred to as the "Garden City" and with good reason – its charm is highlighted by many parks and gardens.

Set around the shores of Port Phillip Bay, its straightforward layout is easy to navigate. This true metropolis has a dizzying array of chic fashion stores, buzzing laneway cafés, trendy bars, botanic gardens, sports stadiums, Manhattan style skyscrapers, film and food festivals, art galleries, opulent theatres and so much more. For couples, families and everyone in between, Melbourne truly runs the gamut of activity and attraction.
