Melbourne Pocket Guide
Rivalling Sydney as Australia's number one city, Melbourne is famously the country's most European city. Capital of Victoria, here you will find some of Australia's coolest bars, restaurants and cafés. While it doesn't have the harbour or beaches of its eastern counterpart, it does have some of the country's trendiest neighbourhoods. It is also the home of Aussie Rules Football which is a massive part of Victorian life. This is a city that's just as pleasant to visit for three days as it is to live in for three months.

Great city
Melbourne is a great city. The art culture is really cool. There are tons of restaurants and cafes. The city has a laid back vibe ans seems very artsy. The city makes it easy to be a tourist with the free tram and bus. It seems like there are a lot of parties and events going on. Lygon St has a lot of great places to eat. There is definitely a diverse food culture.
Insider Tip:Tipping is not a part of the culture in Melbourne or Australia overall so don't feel obligated to leave a tip. There are a lot of festivals so keep an eye out for festivals to go to.

What a city!
What could be easier to navigate than a CBD of blocks? Nothing!! This means that you are free to focus on no more than the shopping, art galleries, cafes and having an amazing time!

Melbourne Rocks - Yes, it does!
My favourite city in Australia: if only it was located near Fremantle. Great food, great nightlife, & fantastic shopping. Best bits: St Kilda, Brunswick St & Carlton.
Insider Tip:Bring something warm!

Awesome city to visit
Great city to visit, there's always something to do as long as you search for it. There's so much to say about it that I wouldn't know where to start. It definitely rivals Sydney as a fun active Australian city.
Insider Tip:Go to the visitors centre in Federation Square and sort out what to do for a week or more. Also find a free copy of Beat Magazine in any music shop to find out what to do in the nights.
