Melbourne Holidays

Arguably Australia’s most stylish and innovative city, Melbourne is celebrated as the country’s cultural heart and soul. From the sophisticated boutiques and leafy streets of South Yarra to the shores of St Kilda and the bohemian enclave of Fitzroy, there's so much to experience in this fantastic city.

Stroll along the vibrant Southbank, take advantage of the free trams within the Central Business District and discover an exceptional array of bars, restaurants and cafés. Wander through the city’s hidden laneways and historic arcades, where colourful street art, boutique shops and a thriving café culture capture the city’s distinctive character. Or discover Melbourne’s impressive botanical gardens and landscaped parks.

Melbourne also provides the perfect base for exploring Victoria’s spectacular surroundings. Witness the world-famous Penguin Parade on Phillip Island, unwind on the sandy shores of the Mornington Peninsula, or venture further afield along the breathtaking Great Ocean Road.
