As the second-most populous city in Australia, Melbourne is steeped in history and rich in culture. Nested along the Port Philip Bay, this sprawling urban precinct spans 9,993 square km with a diverse population of over 5 million people proudly calling themselves Melburnians. This city bears witness to the ancient traditions of the Aboriginal Victorians who have resided here for over 40,000 years and revels in its historical foundation laid down in 1835 by free settlers from Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania).

Once dubbed the "richest city in the world" during the 1851 Victoria gold rush, Melbourne has since evolved into a globally acclaimed financial hub in the Asia-Pacific region. The city prides itself on its cultural heritage, with the illustrious title of a UNESCO City of Literature and a worldwide recognition as a centre for vibrant street art, enthralling live music, and thought-provoking theatre. Melbourne hosts a myriad of international events ranging from the thrilling Australian Grand Prix to the engaging Australian Open, ensuring there's never a dull moment in this bustling city.

When to visit Melbourne

Melbourne's appeal extends beyond its cultural hub to its welcoming climate. For those seeking a bask in the summer sun and the excitement of numerous festivities, the high season between December and February offers a perfect window. Those looking to enjoy pleasant weather with fewer crowds can opt for the secret charm of the shoulder seasons of March to May and September to November. The low season, from June to August, promises an advantageous deal for budget travellers due to reduced hotel prices. Brace yourself if you choose to visit in January! This is when Melbourne’s heatwave hits, with temperatures sometimes soaring into the 40s.
