MELBOURNE

Melbourne, which sits at the head of Port Phillip Bay, Australia’s second-largest city and is the capital of the state of Victoria. Although its population of 3.8 million puts it some way behind Sydney, it is considered by many to be the country’s cultural capital.

With Victorian-era architecture, extensive shopping, broad range of cultural institutions and large parks and gardens it is easy to see how it earned the tag. The city’s cultural melting pot feel is boosted by the fact that it is home to large Greek, Italian, Jewish, Vietnamese and other Asian communities.
