Melbourne is a city you need to get to know. It won’t take your breath away with overtly seductive geography on first sight. Its many charms aren’t always immediately apparent on fi rst meeting. But there’s no doubt this city will get under your skin.

What will your Melbourne encounter be? Browsing a grid of laneway galleries, cafes, bars and
designer boutiques? Tramping with the throngs to the footy spectacular at ‘the G’? Criss-crossing the city by tram, spotting historic and contemporary landmarks?

Discover twice the city in half the time!
