Melbourne, cosmopolitan Melbourne, wherefore art thou...restaurants, clubs, hotels and fabulous nightlife!

The capital city of Victoria is home to some of the coolest eating spots in all of Australia, and Melbournians are renowned for their love of eating out. Why wouldn't you be, when the food is so good, and there are sooooo many different quality options.

The city itself has plenty of great accommodation spots for the traveller as well, and loves nothing more than a visitor wanting a fun night out on the town. So, be sure you choice your Melbourne accommodation well, so that it is near a great restaurant.

If you have a sweet tooth, make sure you check out St Kilda, home of the famous Acland Street cake shops. Every cake delight known to man (and perhaps a few as-yet unknown!?!) is available from one or more of these fabulous shops, and of course, you can usually get a great cappucino or latte to go with it!

Visitors to Melbourne have plenty to choose from, so far as luxury accommodation goes. Whether it's an inner city Melbourne hotel, or a comfy suburban bed and breakfast, or even an apartment or self contained suite on the Yarra River, the choices are spectacular.

Lastly, no visit to Melbourne would be complete without a visit to the famous Lygon Street in Carlton. Home to a fabulous array of restaurants (and 'Il Gamberos' - the world's "best" pizza bar), you could dine every night for a month and not run out of great places to eat at.
