About Melbourne

Melbourne is an incredible city, full of hidden-away places and unique treasures. The CBD is a warren of cobblestoned alleyways harbouring incredible street art, the best restaurants in town, hidden rooftop bars and wonderful galleries. Travel out to the suburbs and you’ll find the beating heart of Melbourne’s community – cafes,  galleries, theatres, arts spaces, parks, shops – owned, operated and patronised by locals.

This is the kind of city that you need to invest time in and get to know: she keeps her most rewarding jewels tucked away. That’s why we’ve put together this insider’s guide to Melbourne, where we share our favourite haunts, top travel tips and the city’s must-see arts experiences. You can check out accommodation, travel and transport tips in the Live and Stay section, get some out n about tips under Arts and Culture, and get the most out of your Melbourne Fringe ticket (and Melbourne’s decadent foodie scene) with the Good Food Guide.
