Marvelous Melbourne is this southern Australian city's tourism catch-phrase, and its true that Melbournians are fiercely proud of their hometown. In contrast to its showy sister further north, Melbourne is a city of hidden treasures and understated, underground cool. What it lacks in big name tourist attractions, Melbourne makes up for with pure good living: this city is Australia's cultural capital, jam packed with trendy bars, diverse cuisine, high fashion, cutting edge galleries and funky street art, all hidden away down the city's quiet laneways. Spend a few days getting to know the city and enjoying the good life on offer, spend more than a few days and you might not be able to leave.
