If art, coffee and culture feature heavilty on your itinerary, then you've come to the right place. The coastal city at the bottom of the country delights with street art, street eats, and street cred - lots of it. From the Queen Victoria Market and South Melbourne Market to the cafes and eateries scattered around the city's laneways, Melbourne is just as perfect for foodies as it is for hipsters.
To get orientated with the city center, hop on the heritage City Circle tram, but if you hear the call for wide open spaces, hit the road - the Great Ocean Road. They don't call it "great" for nothing - the coast-hugging road stretches over 200 kilometers past dramatic offshore limestone rock formations and sprawling vineyards, home to some of the best winery hotels in Australia.

The cosmopolitan city of Melbourne is home to some of the best luxury hotels in Australia, but for something a bit more extraordinary, you just need to follow the grapevines - literally. Just outside the city, Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley produce not only some of the region's best wines, but some of Melbourne's best vineyard hotels for winery stays that's worth raising a glass for.
