"A perfect blend of old & new in a "New World" city" Melbourne by XenoHumph


Melbourne Travel Guide: 4,072 reviews and 7,134 photos

A lively and lovely blend of old and daringly modern architecture and lifestyle. I enjoyed this city very much. It has the perfect size to offer everything a city should offer while not being overbearing. The wonderful outdoor is easily accessible. The transportation system is great, starting with the fun tramways, and there are tons of restaurants. And of course, there is the kindness and relaxed attitude of the inhabitants that anyone on the world should learn from!
I had been told it rained a lot in Melbourne, but we had wonderful weather, maybe because it was the middle of a drought. Anyway, great city, go see it!
