Melbourne, Australia
The state capital of Victoria, and the second most populous city in Australia, Melbourne is a multi-cultural hub, and one of the country's most vibrant cities. A centre of commerce, education and tourism, it is famous for its architecture, its tram network, and of course, its famous parks and gardens.
Widely regarded as the cultural capital of Australia, the city is famous for its many festivals, including the Melbourne Fringe Festival, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Melbourne International Film Festival and the Melbourne International Arts Festival. Visitors to the city would also do well to attend a performance of the Australian Ballet, or the Victorian Opera, both performing arts groups that are excellent at what they do.
In recent decades, Street Art too has become a major part of the city's urban culture, and visitors will notice artistic depictions on a variety of surfaces. Hoiser Lane, in particular, has many great examples of the kind of work this genre is famous for. Tourists who are intrigued by this phenomenon might want to check out the Melbourne Stencil Festival, which is held yearly.
Often called the national sports capital, Melbourne has hosted or co-hosted a number of prestigious leagues and tournaments over the years, including the annual Australian Open, the 1956 Summer Olympics and the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Home to professional teams like Melbourne Storm
(Rugby League) and Melbourne Victory (A-League Football), the city's sporting tradition is a long and established one, and sports fans would do well to catch a game or two while in town.
Of course, if you would pick a walk in the park over an afternoon at a game, then Melbourne has something in store for you as well. From the Royal Botanic Gardens to the National Rhododendron Gardens, the city boasts a number of different green locations to use as breathing space.
From street art, to sport and just plain leisure, Melbourne's diversity is sure to provide you with exactly what you need during your stay, and should, above all, give you a little taste of what Australia is all about.
