Melbourne Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Melbourne - this much-loved Aussie city has long taken residency atop the ‘world’s most livable cities’ list. Follow our journey through the maze of laneways and see why for yourself.
When ready, browse vacation packages to Melbourne: www.expedia.com/Melbourne.d17...
The scent of roasting coffee beans wafts through the air in #Melbourne. This city is serious about its coffee, and if you’re game, you can base an entire Melbourne #visit around sampling the offerings from local cafés.
Want more than a caffeine buzz from your Melbourne #vacation? You’re in luck. Melbourne sits on the banks of the Yarra River, and you’ve got your pick of cathedrals, parks, and giant buildings to explore, as well as an extensive streetcar network to help you get from one place to the next.
Melbourne’s locals love art, and the inner-city laneways are jammed with street artists painting over the external walls of buildings. Don’t worry; these artists have a permit and are sanctioned by the city. A visit to Luna Park™ is also a must, when staying in Melbourne. Established in 1912, the theme park features one of the world’s oldest roller coasters and a number of additional vintage rides.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Lived in Melbourne for 8 months and loved every minute of it. Surprise there's no mention of the sports here. MCG is an awesome stadium and I saw countless Big Bash games there. Melbourne Park is class too if you're a tennis fan!

[@lolstrolls317]

I have lived in Melbourne for 13 years and the city is very nice. In the cbd there are loads of things you can do. Shopping and eating are the main things. Most say that Melbourne is the fashion, sport, art and multicultural capital of Australia. The richer suburbs like toorak, Kew, hawthorn and many others are really nice if you can afford houses there. The architecture is very old but the combination between old and modern is very passing to the eyes. Most of melbournes 's population is situated on the east, but on the west there are some small communities but the lifestyle isn't very good. But on the east all the nice suburbs like mount Waverley, glen Waverley, Burwood and all the rest are more average to high income people. More outwards there isn't much. But if you go south east from the cbd you'll find some great beaches in the Mornington peninsula like the beaches in rosebud or like Sorrento. On the other side of the bay there are also some really great beaches like in Torquay

[@lisaxjane]

the west has the biggest communities and the lifestyle wasnt good in the 90s! :) it's booming now m888888

How hard to rent an apartment and find a job there if I'm coming from Sydney

[@jonlay4861]

This video missed so much! Things it didn't mention; - Melbourne's sporting venues (MCG, Etihad Stadium, AAMI Park ,Rod Laver Arena, Hisense Arena) after all we are the sporting capital of the world ;) - Crown Casino - Docklands area - State Library - Melbourne Central & Emporium - Melbourne Zoo - Great Ocean Road - Mt. Bulla & Mt. Hotham - Sovereign Hill

[@miagucci8319]

Jonathan Lay and the Southland mall! It's the biggest in Australia

[@lachlanbarton8584]

Mia Gauci Chadstone is bigger, and the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere

[@spamd5407]

i'm pretty sure the great ocean road, mt buller, mt hotham and sovreign hill are not part of melbourne

[@xmacmcintyre1262]

its for Melbourne nut good point with the sporting venues

[@stevendudley5687]

Expedia never mentions sports venues. Only in their videos for Boston and Toronto do they mention Fenway Park and Rogers Centre ( the Skydome).

[@jlobe3159]

Born and raised here. Been around the world. There's a reason this is one of the most expensive places in the world. It has everything and has the best quality. Houses, services, people, work-life balance. For a vacation in Australia I would spend as much time as I can in Melbourne. There is something new around every corner

[@luci9625]

Tips if you want to go to Melbourne: 1- GET A MYKI! The ticket checkers ('Authorised officers') kick you off the tram/train/bus if you don't have one. 2- Don't stand in the middle of a fast-moving train station or street. People will most likely get really annoyed and push you out of their way. 3- Go shopping around the Collin's street area. You WILL NOT regret it. 4- Get a coffee. Just do it. 5- Don't forget to check it out at night 6- The horse rides aren't that good.

[@miagucci8319]

lou ari I went n a magnificent horse ride there! But it's only something you would do once seeing it's bloody expensive

[@KM-hp3sj]

The horse rides are one thing I hate about Melbourne, it's just cruel. :/

[@Vmr48765]

Dont walk in the middle of the pavement so slowly at rush hour that theres no way around you! Feel like just punching such people or knocking them out of my way haha

Just went to Melbourne almost two weeks ago. Loved it! Great city and very friendly people! . Thanks for sharing

[@justinebarker3706]

I live there! When I went on Eureka Sky deck I freaked out, but the views are awesome. Melbourne Zoo is awesome too!

[@haneeqfarooq717]

Melbourne is extraordinarily beautiful

[@natalielucik455]

This misses some seriously great places to visit. Some great suggestions for a far more authentic experience through Melbourne: 1. Degraves Street and Centre Place - amazing place for coffee, lunch and some boutique shops 2. Melbourne Central - shopping centre 3. Hardware Lane - another great place for coffee and lunch 4. Brunswick Street, Fitzroy - A trendy paradise great whether you're there day or night 5. Chapel Street - A great area to go shopping, or head out to a bar late at night 6. City Circle Tram - An original Tram that takes you through a loop of Melbourne CBD Take a Tram to your destination! Locals will always help you trying to find your direction and tram stops within the CBD are free!

[@andrewthornhill7042]

@Natalie Lucik Yes, and what about the Dandenongs, the Zoo, Williamstown, or the Yarra river walks? All worthwhile.

[@carlosvaca7211]
