Melbourne is Victoria's state capital and Australia's second-most populous city.

Many of Australia's most prestigious sporting and cultural events and institutions are established in Melbourne, earning the city the title of Australia's sporting and cultural capital.

Trams radiate out from the city centre, passing through a laid back city well served by some of the best coffee in the nation.

Just close by is the winding Yarra River that bisects a city featuring some of the finest and most innovative art, music, food and fashion in the country.
