Sydney may be a popular choice for Brits heading to Australia, but OK! took a trip to Melbourne and discovered its rooftop bars, incredible street food and sightseeing spots
While Sydney is often the first choice for Brits travelling down under, in-the-know Aussies insist Melbourne has the edge when it comes to culture, cuisine and cool. Just ask actress Cate Blanchett and sisters Kylie and Dannii Minogue, who all grew up there.
Time to explore In the Central Business District, a wander among Melbourne’s famous “laneways” is a must. Not only will you find hidden restaurants and bars, many of them on the rooftops, but you will also discover colourful street art at every turn. Australia is also crazy for caffeine, so grab a flat white from Market Lane Coffee. There are branches across the city, including in chi-chi Carlton, a trendy district with delis, bookstores and boutiques. If sand and surf are more your thing, the lively beachfront at St Kilda is a short tram ride from the CBD.
Southbank is home to glitzy waterfront bars and eateries – including an outpost of Nobu – but the bohemian Fitzroy and Carlton districts are where the hipsters hang out. You’ll also spot lots of interesting relics salvaged from the site’s excavation prior to construction. Up on the top floor, chilled-out Langlands restaurant and bar has 360-degree panoramic views, and it’s also where you’ll tuck into a delicious buffet breakfast.
