The Economist Magazine named Melbourne, Australia the most liveable city in 2017. Melbourne offers distinctive flavours, sights and passions across it’s favourite neighbourhoods. Spending time in this relaxed city you’ll discover pockets of busy, chilled, bohemian, architectural and accidentally cool spaces to explore. Find art galleries, bars and restaurants – upstairs and down laneways. Spend your weekends stumbling upon indie fashion boutiques, artisan workshops, and street artists at work; or simply grab your beach towel and head to bayside St Kilda and Port Melbourne.
