Longtemps en concurrence avec Sydney pour le titre de capitale culturelle australienne, Melbourne est souvent le choix du peuple, en tête de liste des villes les plus vivables au monde. Il y a beaucoup à aimer, de son melting-pot d'habitants et son ambiance typiquement européenne, à sa scène de brunch, ses galeries d'art et sa vie nocturne. Le public mondial occupe des sièges convoités au Arts Centre Melbourne et dans des temples sportifs comme le Melbourne Cricket Ground et le Etihad Stadium. Mais ce n’est pas seulement une question d’art et de sport. L'essence même de Melbourne réside dans ses quartiers. Découvrez les bars et restaurants les plus branchés de la ville nichés dans les ruelles étroites du CBD; magasinez dans le quartier chic de South Yarra ou le long de la rue branchée de Fitzroy, Brunswick Street; ou promenez-vous sur les plages de sable de St. Kilda, à quelques kilomètres de la ville. Et à seulement une journée d'excursion se trouvent la région viticole de Yarra Valley, la péninsule de Mornington et Great Ocean Road.
Alfresco dining, music festivals, and night markets mean that there’s always something to do in Melbourne come summertime, and events such as the Australia Day Parade and Christmas Festival Melbourne pull in the crowds. Don’t be put off by a winter visit—low season prices can make a city break more affordable, and Melbourne is well placed for visiting Victoria’s ski resorts.
Cosmopolitan Melbourne rivals Sydney for the title of Australia’s cultural capital. Consistently topping the list of the world’s most livable cities, Melbourne may have a distinctly European ambience, but it has its own unique vibe, thanks, largely, to its 230-plus laneways where street art and cafe culture flourish.
