5 of the best places to visit in Victoria
Known as Australia’s capital of culture, Melbourne will certainly fill your days with creative art, modern food, great coffee, local fashion brands and hidden bars. After discovering the CBD’s many haunts and people-watching in Federation Square, wander across the river to the National Gallery of Victoria as there’s sure to be a noteworthy exhibition running.
Eat your way through a state whose bold appreciation for great produce has made it the culinary capital, from hidden deli delights and an abundance of high-quality local cafes to food and beverage festivals rivalling those around the world and an array of award-winning restaurants. Dine with a view of the Yarra River and Melbourne skyline or head out of the CBD to Fitzroy, St Kilda or Carlton for more specialised cultural foodie destinations.
Take a road trip down the Great Ocean Road with stops in friendly local towns before arriving at the mesmerising coastal view of the celebrated Twelve Apostles. Stop by Lorne for a visit to Otway National Park and the popular holiday resort town of Port Fairy to learn about the local maritime history.
Our top tips:
- Indulge yourself in the booming café and art culture of Melbourne and visit the Queen Victoria Market for fresh artisan produce, multicultural delicacies and handmade souvenirs.
- Venture down the Great Ocean Road and discover the majestic Twelve Apostles and beautiful towns of Port Fairy and Port Campbell.
