Located on the northern banks of the Yarra River, Melbourne is one of
the most popular places in Australia to visit. It's often referred to
as the 'sporting and cultural capital' and offers many great aspects
for all types of people ranging from backpackers, families and to
groups of students.
Although Melbourne is widely known as the 'planned city' it boasts
impressive places of natural beauty as well as exotic wildlife. Living
up to its name as the sporting and cultural capital, Melbourne is also
home to a non-stop program of festivals, art exhibitions and musical
extravaganzas such as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the
Australian International Air show and the Australian F1 Grand Prix.
If you're a follower of fashion then the city itself is home to some
of the largest shopping centres and precincts which will leave you
spoiled for choice. Or if you're more of the person who likes to relax
and enjoy themselves then the nightlife in Melbourne offers many bars
and clubs catering for everybody. The historical buildings in
Melbourne are also a large tourist attraction with the spectacular
Royal Exhibition buildings and Cook's cottage.
Many places within the city are within walking distance but public
transport is very reliable with the city's wide network of trains,
buses and trams all readily available. The bright yellow taxis are
also easy to come across in the city as they are numerous and can
usually be found patrolling the streets for fares.
The cost of living in Melbourne is very reasonable with cheap flights
to the city also available through some of the 25 airlines operating
in the city's airport. Just outside of the city there are many tourist
attractions you can visit and take part in such as panning for gold at
Sovereign Hill, travelling along the Great Ocean Road or visiting
penguins on Phillip Island.
