Melbourne
Experience · Victoria, Australia
Australia's food, coffee, and sport capital. Laneways for coffee and small bars, the MCG for cricket and footy, and a dining scene that has quietly become better than Sydney's. Base in the CBD or Fitzroy.
What to do
NGV International, the Queen Victoria Market, and a tram down St Kilda Road. Walk the laneways — Centre Place, Degraves, Hardware Lane — for coffee. Catch whatever's on at the MCG or Marvel Stadium.
Where to eat
Attica (Ripponlea) for the tasting menu of the country. Cumulus Inc., Supernormal, and Chin Chin for the smarter all-day spots. Lune for the world's best croissant — book a month ahead.
