This city You have to love! Although one moderate weather all four seasons can experience in one day here, the 4 million inhabitants city has a unique flair!
Food and fashion are two important keywords in this metropolis. Nowhere else in the world there are such great restaurants, bars and coffee houses as here.
During a walk through the center of one comes across some colonial buildings, but dominates the modern architecture.
Have As in almost all other Australian cities also immigrants from around the world Melbourne added a special touch. There is the Italian and Greek quarters (yummy food!) And of course Chinatown!
Here it is particularly fashion-conscious, you put a lot of emphasis on decoration and clothing. Here a shop lined up one after another. Besides the well known brand stores, there are also countless small shops that offer unusual things.
Also, the bars are decorated with great attention to detail and generally everywhere is very much design in the air. The most creative district in every respect Fitzroy, where also our favorite restaurant, Veggie Bar is!
The most fascinating city in Australia is also known for its lanes, which are small roads in the center. They are peppered fully serve with small restaurants, the creative cuisine.
Internationally known and recognized for its street art of Melbourne. In different districts, you can visit Graffity or Stencilarbeiten. Although sometimes still regarded by politicians as a problem, the graffiti have become a major attraction for tourism!

I hereby nominate officially Melbourne as my favorite city on my trip around the world - sorry for that Sydney! 😉
