Melbourne is one of the most hip and dynamic cities in Australia, and is proudly Australia’s cultural capital. It is known as a “hipster city” to some because of the themed cafes and restaurants, chic laneway eateries, rooftop bars, and festivals. Clearly, Melbourne is a city that you should visit when going to Australia.
