Travel to
Melbourne & Victoria
Where Every Corner Sparks a New Adventure
Victoria has something for everyone, whether you’re interested in wine or wildlife, hiking or spas, cosmopolitan cities or wide open spaces, coastline or mountains. Begin your stay in Melbourne, arguably the food, fashion and sports capital of Australia. Spend at least three nights and get an insider’s glimpse to the city on a walking tour with a great guide, check out a local sporting event, wander along the river, go shopping, visit the galleries…
A NOTE FROM THE EXPERTS
Like Sydney, there are many daytrips available from Melbourne, including:
The dramatic coastline of the Great Ocean Road by car, helicopter, or multi-day guided walk, the spa country and foodie heaven of Daylesford, the wine, wildlife, and forested mountains of the Yarra Valley, or the penguins, dolphins, and golf and farms of the Mornington Peninsula.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCES
Explore the hidden laneways and street art scene, indulging in a culinary adventure at the Queen Victoria Market, attending a performance at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground, immersing yourself in the city’s vibrant multicultural atmosphere.
OUR FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR TO GO
The best time to visit Melbourne and Victoria is during the spring months of September to November and the autumn months of March to May when the weather is mild, and the city comes alive with events, festivals, and outdoor activities.
INSIDER TIP
With over 80 wineries scattered across stunning landscapes, a day trip to the Yarra Valley for wine tasting offers a unique opportunity to explore one of Australia’s premier wine regions, renowned for its cool climate wines such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
