Melbourne, Victoria’s coastal capital, is a city of stately 19th-century buildings and tree-lined boulevards. Yet at its centre is the strikingly modern Federation Square development, with plazas, bars, restaurants and cultural events along the Yarra River. In Southbank, the Melbourne Arts Precinct is site of Arts Centre Melbourne – a performing arts complex – and National Gallery of Victoria, displaying Australian and Indigenous art.

Events and festivals

Melbourne has some world class events throughout the year. Melbourne Food and Wine Festival is always a good one to go to, and takes places at the beginning of March. Another popular event is the Melbourne Grand Prix, which again normally takes place in March.
