Melbourne is Australia’s cultural capital, and has a dynamic, cosmopolitan atmosphere that can’t help but inspire. The city is split into neighbourhoods, each offering visitors a new side of the city. Whether you choose to stay in trendy Fitzroy or by the beaches of St Kilda, everyone has their preferred neighbourhood. However, Melbourne as a whole offers a plethora of cafes, bars and restaurants, ranging from street vendors up to Michelin-starred; you’ll find something to suit every palate and budget. If you can tear yourself away from the streets and great shopping, Melbourne is also one of the best spots for sports enthusiasts looking for a match, race or game. Here you can catch a local AFL game, cricket, horse racing, or if you time is right, the F1 race at Albert Park, the first of the season.
If you do plan on staying during one of the bigger sporting events, do bear in mind that everything from luxury hotels to backpacker hostels book up far in advance and prices are often much higher for that period of the year, so to avoid any disappointment, book as early as you can. There’s plenty of range when it comes to where to stay, with a mix of luxury hotels and fully serviced apartments scattered throughout the city. A few of our favourites include The Blackman – An Art Series Hotels, located in the busy beachside neighbourhood of St Kilda, and the Melbourne Penthouse Apartments, on Flinders Street in the city centre, a short walk from Federation Square.
No matter where you choose to stay, you’ll probably find yourself pretty close to a shopping street, mall or district so do give yourself some time to indulge. The city centre is home to both the Melbourne Central and Emporium shopping malls, as well as Little Collins Street where you’ll find an array of designer boutiques. For outlets, head to Bridge Road or Chapel Street, and for typically Australian souvenirs, head to the Victoria Market.
For foodies, Melbourne is paradise. There’s a melting pot of cultures here which has resulted in restaurants featuring cuisines from across the globe popping up. African, Chinese, Thai, European, you’ll find it all here. There’s also a real coffee culture here, with independent cafes popping up on every street, each with their own following, swearing it’s the best coffee in Melbourne. Try a few, and see which you prefer, and enjoy watching the people go by as you do so.
