Melbourne is known for its sporting activities, having held the 2006 Commonwealth Games and claiming the title of ‘World's Ultimate Sports City '. Sporting fans will enjoy watching cricket at the famous MCG, football of the Australian variety, and Melbourne plays host to the Australian Open tennis.
However, Melbourne has more to offer than just sport. There are also countless art galleries and exhibitions, each offering something special and unique, as well as designer boutiques and coffee shops for your pleasure.
If you are looking to move out of the city, Melbourne provides a great base for day trips to the Ocean Road and the Yarra Valley, or the Mornington Peninsula where you can take a jet boat out for the day and experience high twists and turns, or even do a spot of dolphin and whale watching.
The action doesn't stop at night time in Melbourne either. With bars, dancing and musical acts as regular events, you can expect to be entertained from dusk 'til dawn.
