About Melbourne
Melbourne was officially declared a city by Queen Victoria in 1847. Since then it has continued to grow and is now considered one of the largest and culturally diverse cities in Australia. Famous for fashion and the arts, Melbourne is the perfect holiday destination for anyone fascinated by designers and art galleries, nightclubs and restaurants.
Something unique to Melbourne is its laneway culture, a network of lively city lanes full of vibrant restaurants, bars, cafes, boutiques and shops, as well as some of the best examples of street graffiti. Take a wander around the lanes and experience everything that Melbourne has to offer. Melbourne is also big on sport. It is home to three major annual international sporting events; the Australian Open (tennis), Melbourne Cup (horse racing), and the Australian Grand Prix (Formula One).
