Melbourne

Melbourne’s combination of world-class dining, art galleries, homegrown fashion and a packed sports calendar, has earned Victoria’s capital as one of the world’s most liveable cities. Melbourne’s centre is threaded with cobbled laneways, which have become a mecca for coffee shops, cafés and unique shopping boutiques. Coffee culture has become so deeply embedded in the culture of this city, that it has truly evolved into an art form.
