Where Is Melbourne, Victoria?
The capital city of Victoria in Australia, Melbourne is located at the head of Port Phillip Bay, on the southeastern coast of the country.
What Is Melbourne in Australia Known For?
The second-largest metropolis of Australia is often ranked as one of the most vibrant, sophisticated, and multicultural cities on the planet. Melbourne has a distinctly European atmosphere with its maze of crisscrossing alleys, tree-lined avenues, and expansive Victorian buildings built during the 1850s Gold Rush. While other Australian destinations promise white sandy beaches and scorching hot weather, Melbourne offers a bigger, diverse, and more urban experience. Marvel at the glass-and-steel cityscape, chow down on delicious delicacies across several kinds of international cuisines, and explore a different side to Australia.
