OVERVIEW

Australia’s bustling capital of Melbourne will make a once-in-a-lifetime holiday with that special someone. It’s the perfect honeymoon destination for those who like a little bit of everything – whether it be relaxed strolls along the white sands, exploring the city’s major sights and attractions or heading downtown to try out some of the best bars and restaurants by the Yarra River.

Melbourne is perhaps best known for its cultural diversity, which is sure to cater for all interests. You may choose to spend an afternoon wandering through Melbourne’s famous 19th-century laneways in which you’ll discover vibrant street art, independent bars and cafes and unique boutiques if you fancy a spot of retail therapy.
