Why You Should Visit Melbourne?

One word: Melbourne.

There is no need to introduce the world's most liveable City. Therefore, we'll skip the drawn-out introduction and get directly to why you should stop everything you're doing right now and get on the next available flight to Melbourne.

Melbourne, which has been named the most liveable City in the world for six years and is known as Australia's "cultural and sporting capital," is as diverse as its multiracial background.

The City holds some of the most prominent sporting events in the nation as well as various international festivals, and our baristas make the greatest coffee you've ever had. If those reasons aren't enough to convince you to book a flight to Melbourne, here is a comprehensive list of the benefits of doing so.

You Will Easily Get Around

In Melbourne, there are a plethora of convenient ways to get around. It's easy to get around by tram, rail, bus, or even Uber. Trams, which are more common than you might think, are integral to Melbourne's character.

Getting around Melbourne is as simple as buying a Myki Card and loading it with money. This Australian metropolis has a remarkably simple transportation system.

You Can Explore Distinctive Suburbs 

Which neighbourhood should we explore first — Fitzroy, Brunswick, St. Kilda, or South Yarra? Melbs also likes to mix it up outside of the City, frequenting a wide variety of venues, from seashore bars to hipster hangouts.

South Yarra breathes new life into things with its fitness freaks and riverside setting while neighbouring Fitzroy has the vibe of a London neighbourhood, all rough and ready.

Walking, walking, and more walking is the best way to see them all. The suburbs of Melbourne are ideal for getting to know the City like a local and making a personal connection with its residents.

They Are Sports Mad

Melbourne is the cultural cat of Australia, but it's also the capital of sports. Take a peek at the stadiums like the MCG or the Etihad, world-class grounds for the best events.

AFL is the dominant sport here, a game that combines soccer and rugby yet has an addicting flow to it. In addition, European football teams visit annually throughout the winter, whilst the Australian Tennis Open and the Formula One tournaments are annual occurrences!

If there were a new destination that gets everyone from all parts of the globe together, it would be impossible to think Melbourne is not it. A country where every culture is valued, and the term each to their own is very much a way of life here.

What's wonderful about Melbourne is that so many people have many different stories and are eager to discover new things. Whether someone is residing in Melbs or visiting through, everyone has something great going on.

The Culture & Lifestyle

Many different cultures may be found in Melbourne, making it a truly global and diverse metropolis.

Asia, Italy, Greece, the Middle East, Russia, Poland, and many more have all left their mark, making this a fascinating and eclectic destination.

You won't believe your eyes when you see how different one neighbourhood is from the next, from the hip Central Business District to the stylish South Yarra to sunny St. Kilda. Melbourne features a great variety of urban, park, and coastal attractions.

Arriving in Melbourne, you'll quickly realise that the City is littered with performing arts centres, museums, galleries, and places hosting live music.

There is always something happening in Melbourne; we have a festival to celebrate anything you can think of. Festivals celebrating fashion, art, music, gastronomy, movies, children's activities, and different cultures are big here. Most of our celebrations don't cost a dime to attend.

The Events

In Melbourne, there is always something going on.

Whether it's a sporting event like the Australian Open Tennis (which anyone can buy a ticket to, unlike Wimbledon! ), the luxurious Melbourne Cup or the Formula One Grand Prix; or food events like the Night Noodle Markets or the Food & Wine Festival; incredible exhibitions at the National Gallery of Victoria (I went to the House of Dior exhibition when I was back home last); first-class musicals, concerts, and music festivals; and two world-class universities. There is never a dull moment in Melbourne; there is always something to do.

The Individuality

Australians, and particularly those living in the City of Melbourne, place a premium on personal expression. Consequently, we tend to welcome and prefer unique and local businesses over those part of a larger, impersonal chain.

This is a striking difference compared to the United Kingdom, where uniqueness is celebrated. It would be impossible to list all the unique cafes, pubs, restaurants, and fashion, lifestyle, and design labels in Melbourne. It's fantastic, and you'll adore it.

The Food & The Coffee

When people ask what your favourite aspects of Melbourne are, They always respond, "the cuisine and the coffee." Melbourne has some of the top restaurants in Australia, and They feel several of them are among the best in the world.

It's a foodie's dream come true. Melbourne's food industry is on fire. From the eccentric brunch, cafes serving the most decadent berry, pistachio, and hot mascarpone cakes under the sun to the authentic and small local wine bars hidden in alleyways, decor-goals restaurants serving the most delectable and creative cuisine you'll ever taste.

There's also the coffee. They always tell people you haven't had good coffee until Melbourne coffee. Of course, you already know they are coffee connoisseurs, but so is the rest of Melbourne. Melburnians would never go near a Starbucks, as snobbish as it may sound! We like our coffee from individual cafés; when you visit Melbourne, you will completely understand.

Seasons To Suit Everyone In One Day

Summer, fall, winter, and spring are the four seasons for which Melbourne is known. All four seasons in one day? You better prepare yourself! You have to experience our weather to believe it. As a result, whether you prefer the warm or cool weather or something in between, you and your loved ones can always find something fun to do in Melbourne.

You won't be doing much other than visiting Melbourne's beautiful and popular beaches during the summer. Every neighbourhood to the southeast of Melbourne is within driving distance of the beach. However, keep in mind that the weather in Melbourne can change quickly, so you should pack a jumper just in case.

The weather here makes it seem like there is no snow at all. Not at all; there are many great snowboarding and skiing destinations approximately two to four hours from Melbourne's central business district. You can choose from several options, such as Mt. Buller and Mt. Baw Baw.

Public Transport Joys

You'll quickly appreciate the ease of Melbourne's public transportation system once you arrive. Forgo the high cost of an Uber ride and take advantage of Melbourne's affordable tram system, which is easily accessible throughout the City.

The ancient trams are still in operation in Melbourne's central business district, making us the only City in Australia to do so. So put your faith in the fact that we offer transportation to any and all locations!

Melbourne Is The Sports Capital Of Australia

Sports enthusiast? We are, too! Throughout the year, Melbourne will have a sporting event and a celebration on the weekend. Depending on the month you visit, you will be able to see at least one of Melbourne's most spectacular sporting events. We adore athletic events so much that we declare them official holidays! Don't you want to be here forever?

• Australian Open, Melbourne Cup (the race that stops the nation), The Spring Racing, Carnival, AFL Grand Final, The Boxing Day Test, Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix

Values History & Architecture

We appreciate the past in Melbourne, and each building and statue has a meaningful tale to tell. Melbourne's CBD is home to both old and new structures, so take a tour through history and learn everything there is to know about Melbourne. As you are aware, transportation within the CBD is free, so make a day of it and explore the historical sites we hold dear.

• Shrine of Remembrance, Old Melbourne Gaol. Immigration Museum

Nature & Gardens

Many scenic parks, bikeways, and walking trails may be found in Melbourne. We have beautiful gardens because we love the outdoors. The first thing you'll notice about Melbourne is how green it is. It's easy to spend a day strolling through our gardens.

• Royal Botanic Garden, Flagstaff Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens

Appreciation Of Art, Laneways & Markets

Its laneways and graffiti art have made Melbourne famous worldwide. The laneways are decorated by a group of anonymous artists who share our enthusiasm for creativity. That being said, the alleys are not a once-and-done kind of place. Queen Victoria Market, our most famous market full of stalls and food, is located there as well, and we love it. Unquestionably a must-see location!

The street art community in Melbourne is globally significant. Indeed, sprayed and stencilled streets like Hosier Lane in the city centre have become must-see attractions, genuine galleries presenting an ever-changing feast of technicolour splendour.

Brilliant street art is easy to come across, but a Melbourne Street Art Tour will reveal even more. Greatest of all, the trip concludes at the Blender Studios, one of Melbourne's largest and best street art studios, where participants can relax with a drink and talk shop.

The Saturday-only tour of Collingwood and Fitzroy begins at 48 Easey Street, whereas the traditional tour of the city centre begins at Federation Square.

Melbourne's cultural scene, especially in the City's lively laneways, is one of the City's key selling points compared to other Australian metropolitan centres.

Centre Place and Degraves Street have so many cafés, retros, and tapas bars that it might be difficult to choose. Hardware Lane, though, must surely reign supreme among alleys. It's a terrific spot to eat out at night because it's less busy and more refined than the average restaurant.

Regent Theatre

The Regent Theatre, The Regent Theatre, was considered one of the most spectacular picture palaces in the world when it was completed in 1929, with the advent of talkies. It was reconstructed in 1945 after being destroyed by fire and flooding, but it fell into disrepair in the 1990s. It reopened in 1996 after a two-year refurbishment.

Its Rococo aesthetic captivates today's theatregoers with its magical atmosphere. Disney's Wicked, The Lion King, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies, Sunset Boulevard, and  have all been big hits here.

In addition, Melbourne, Australia's cultural capital, is blessed with several classic theatres, including the Regent and the Princess and Her Majesty's, both popular sites for musicals.

Melbourne Museum

The slick new Melbourne Museum, hailed as the southern hemisphere's largest and most inventive museum, stands in stark contrast to the adjacent Victorian-era Royal Exhibition Building, which hosted the commencement of Australia's first Federal Parliament in 1901.

The museum's emphasis is on teaching and interaction, and it is home to Bunjilaka, an Aboriginal centre dedicated to indigenous people's history, culture, and art. There is also a room dedicated to Phar Lap. This famous racehorse won the nation's heart during the Depression years with an impressive winning streak, including a Melbourne Cup.

The Twelve Apostles

One hundred and twelve disciples The Twelve Apostles, a geological wonder and tourist attraction along Australia's Great Ocean Road, were shaped by the relentless action of the ocean and subsequent erosion. The drive begins in Torquay, around 100 kilometres southwest of Melbourne, and continues along the coast for another 247 kilometres until it reaches Warrnambool.

Melbourne's convenient location makes it the starting point for seeing all Victoria offers. In just over an hour's drive, you can reach the Yarra Valley wineries, the beaches of the Mornington Peninsula, the Daylesford and Hepburn Springs spas, and the fairy penguins of Phillip Island.

Shopping And Fashion

Whether you're looking for high-end fashion boutiques or thrift stores, the central business district (CBD) and surrounding suburbs of Melbourne have you covered, no matter how much (or little) money you have.

While some shops charge exorbitant prices, others provide bargain basement items. Ultimately, it comes down to the store you visit and the goods you seek. Chapel Street, Collins Street, The Emporium, and Bourke Street Mall are some of the best shopping streets in Melbourne.

Nightlife

Melbourne's underground nightlife is legendary. It's not a hotspot for clubgoers, but bar culture here is second to none. In a city like Melbourne, where there are already so many options, licensees of the City's approximately 200 laneway or rooftop bars have to find ways to differentiate themselves.

Everything from speakeasies in converted hospitals to Japanese whisky dens to inner-city brewery bars to speakeasies that can only be reached by stepping through fridges or bookcases. If you want a night out where each pub is completely different from the others, you've come to the correct City.

Particularly on Sundays, Melbourne's happy hours are not to be missed. Get off the train in Windsor, then head along Chapel Street for cheap beer, vodka, and espresso martinis, among other drinks.

In addition to the City's many excellent shopping opportunities, Melbourne hosts some noteworthy fashion shows, such as those held during the Spring Racing Carnival.

Beautiful Landscapes

Take in Melbourne's stunning scenery. There are several historic and modern structures in Melbourne's picturesque downtown. Flinders Street Station, a historical icon, has kept its original façade.

The City's trams will get you where you need to go, and there's even a designated area where they're completely free.

Still, going from building to building can be tiring, so you should obtain a good bird's-eye view of the entire City. Visitors can get a birds-eye perspective of the City from the Eureka Skydeck.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Wilsons Promontory National Park and the Great Ocean Road are about a 2.5-hour journey from Melbourne. The peak of Mount Oberon also makes for a wonderful lookout, with panoramic views of both land and sea.

One of Australia's most visited landmarks, the Twelve Apostles, may be found on the coast of Port Campbell National Park, just off the Great Ocean Road. The number of limestone pillars is 7, not 12.

This is because there were just eight at first, and now only seven remain because the huge stack in front of them was eroded. The Twelve Apostles are the most well-known landmark along the Great Ocean Road, although there are many more interesting spots, such as Loch Ard Gorge and the Grotto.

Diverse Wildlife

Learn about the native wildlife. There is an abundance of fauna in Australia. From sleeping penguins on St. Kilda Beach to nocturnal koalas, it's likely you'll run into at least one of these lovable critters while you explore the area.

If you're itching to see more wildlife, a trip to the zoo is a no-brainer. The closest is the Melbourne Zoo. However, the Werribee Open Range Zoo and the Healesville Sanctuary are also worth checking out. The zoo is home to many wonderful animals, including this group of meerkats.

The four reasons listed above aren't the only ones that make Melbourne a great option for your next vacation outside of the country, but they should be more than enough to have you thinking about a trip Down Under.
