Top 10 Things to Do in Melbourne
Melbourne is Australia's cultural capital — a city whose identity is built on its laneway café culture, street art, AFL football, and the finest restaurant scene in the Southern Hemisphere. Consistently ranked among the world's most liveable cities, it rewards exploration on foot through its Victorian-era arcades and hidden laneways, and by train into the surf coast and wine regions that begin at its edges.
