I’m so excited to finally share on things about Melbourne! Australia week has been amazing so far and I hope you all are enjoying the travel guides, photos, and details about where to go and what to do, see and eat while traveling to the land down under.

I’ve loved everything I have shared so far, but Melbourne is my favorite city in the entire world and its electric vibe instantly stole by heart! And now I get to share a bit of it with all of you. :)

Besides being named “world’s most livable city” for the past seven out of eight years, Melbourne is considered the sporting, cultural, fashion, foodie and coffee capital of Australia.

It’s the capital of the state of Victoria and is the country’s second largest city. It’s not as flashy as Sydney, but what it lacks in flash it makes up ten-fold in creativity, charm, and culture.

In Melbourne there is something new to discover around every corner. Around every corner—colorful street art. Down a laneway—a pop-up market.

Rooftop bars scattered around the city give guests a different perspective while hidden laneway bars provide comfort for only those clever enough to find them.

Local and international designers stock stores on Bourke Street while foodie scene is that of only dreams. Did we mention it is also one of the great coffee cities of the world? Well it is and with their mild weather, a cup of aromatic coffee is the perfect start to any day in this vibrant city.

Melbourne is cosmopolitan yet historical. Playful but not childish. Sophisticated but not stuffy. They don’t call it Marvelous Melbourne for nothing!

Melbourne has to offer more than any one post could contain, but especially for those visiting this amazing city for the first-time, here’s a list of the best things to see and do, where to eat, and what not to miss for an unforgettable trip to the city by the bay.

Today’s Vibe…Coffee…Lots of Coffee
Melbourne is among the great coffee cities in the world. Baristas here are committed to their craft, and the locals are proud to be called coffee snobs. Melbourne’s coffee and cafe culture is unmistakable. Around every corner another cafe, every cup special. In fact you’d be hard pressed to find a bad cup of coffee in the city.

Eat, Shop + Get Lost Exploring Melbourne’s Street Art-Covered Laneways
Just like cafes, street art is hard to miss in Melbourne. It’s simply everywhere—on the sides of buildings, inside shops, down laneways, on the ground…. And the scene is always changing as the city repaints sections regularly. Get some coffee takeaway and wander the beautiful laneways, admiring the art (almost like a public exhibition), shopping at quaint boutiques and hopping inside hidden restaurants for snacks along the way.

Some of the most popular laneways are:

Hosier Lane
Centre Place
AC/DC Lane
Tattersalls Lane
Hardware Lane
Meyers Place

Then Stop For A Drink At One Of The Many Laneway Bars (If You Can Find Them)
Entrances to these bars can be quite unassuming so you’ll probably walk past them one or two times before stepping inside.

Romeo Lane - 1A Crossley St, Melbourne VIC 3000
Beneath Driver Lane - basement, 3 Driver Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000
Section 8 - 27-29 Tattersalls Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000
Pony Fish Island (not really hidden but definitely unique) - Evan Walker Bridge, Yarra River, Melbourne VIC 3000
Cherry Bar - AC/DC La, Melbourne VIC 3000
Lily Blacks - 12 Meyers Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000
Eau De Vie - 1 Malthouse Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000

The city also loves pop-up bars so a bar you stumble upon one weekend, may be gone the next. Have fun!

Check Out The View From The Roof
The people of Melbourne LOVE rooftop bars. The city is practically covered with them, but one of the most popular—aptly named Rooftop Bar (Curtin House, 252 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000)—offers a laid-back backyard-barbecue atmosphere, fantastic views of the city, and a bit of a workout as you climb the six-stories of Curtain House to reach the roof. :) In the summer, Rooftop Bar hosts outdoor movie nights!

Some of our other favorite rooftops include:

The Corner Hotel - 57 Swan St, Richmond, VIC 3121
Heroes - 188 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000
Easey’s - 3/48 Easey St, Collingwood VIC 3066
Naked In The Sky - 285 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
The Provincial Hotel - 299 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
Imperial Hotel - 2-8 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000
Goldilocks - 264 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000

Fuel Your Fantasies At One Of The City’s Themed Bars
What’s your scene? Melbourne’s kitsch themed bar scene is hopping, and has something for everyone.

Want to drink sangria at a tennis club garden party? Head to Madame Brussels (59 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000).
Into science experiments? Grab a syringe shot at The Croft Institute (21 Croft Alley, Melbourne VIC 3000)
Are you East or West? Pick a side at Berlin Bar (2/16 Corrs Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000)
Prefer spaces filled with retro arcade games? Pixel Alley (95 Smith St, Fitzroy VIC 3065) is for you.
Or does Japanese biker gang-themed burger and sake bar sound like the perfect night out? Then stop by Bosozoku HQ (34 Bray St, South Yarra VIC 3141)

Round, Round, Get Around, I Get Around…
Melbourne’s tramway networks in the largest urban network in the world and the choice of public transportation for locals and visitors alike. Melbourne’s Central Business District (CBD, essentially the downtown of Australian cities), is easily navigated via their free tram zone. The free zone covers the majority of the grid and even includes the Docklands to the west.

Did you know there is a free tour tram? Yes, hop aboard the City Circle Trams (#35). In addition to the standard trams, the City Circle route is serviced by heritage W class trams - classic trams dating between 1923 and 1956!

Hop on, pick up a leaflet and ride the circle, listening to the informative audio guide that provides historical facts about the city and points out major attractions.

Cheer for AFL teams at the G
Translated—cheer for Australian Football League teams at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds. AFL, or Aussie Rules, is by far the state of Victoria’s favorite sport. Ten of the 18 teams in the league are located in Victoria, with nine being in the Melbourne metropolitan area so there are quite strong rivalries and allegiances. Also be careful though not to ask who people “root” for. In Aussie, root means sex.

Attend Makers’ Markets
Melbourne is the creative hub of Australia, filled with artisans making and selling everything from clothing and paintings to ceramics and jewelry.

Keep your eye out for these markets:

Creator’s Market
Melbourne Design Market
The Rose Street Artists’ Market (60 Rose St, Fitzroy VIC 3065) - * Every Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Heide Makers’ Market (in the Heide Museum of Modern Art sculpture park, 7 Templestowe Rd, Bulleen VIC 3105) - Second Saturday of every month
Queen Victoria Market’s Night Markets (aka Queen Vic, located Queen St, Melbourne VIC 3000) - largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere

Check the city’s event calendar for upcoming events as pop-up markets are everywhere…we even attended one on the third level of a parking garage on Flinders St.

Kick Back In Fed Square
Federation Square, is a gathering place for the city, its central public square. Just across from Flinders Street Station, the space is used for arts, culture, and public events (such as live large-screen viewings of AFL games). It’s also home to several museums and the Melbourne Visitors Centre. Pull up one of the free chairs and enjoy the people, sounds, and vibe of the city.

EATERIES

Wonderbao
@wonderbao_ | Address: 4/19-37 A'Beckett St, Melbourne VIC 3000

Shanghai Street Dumpling & Mini Juicy Bao

I’m partial to their Vege Denise (Spicy bean & quinoa patty, jalapeños, sriracha mayo, cheese, mustard, tomato sauce, tomato, lettuce, pickles)…yum!

A Melbourne institution, Flower Drum continues to serve mouth-watering Cantonese fare daily.

Chin Chin
@chinchin | Address: 125 Flinders Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000

Well Three One 2 One serves up these sugar coma inducing sweet treats on the reg. Order one with one of their classic burgers and see if you can get close to finishing them. Haha

VEGAN EATERIES

Below are only a few of the many vegan-centric eateries in Melbourne, and even most traditional restaurants in the city have options for those of us with dietary preferences, allergies, or restrictions.

Vegie Bar
@vegiebar | Address: 380 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
The first place recommended to us when we moved to Fitzroy was Vegie Bar. Their menu features a large range of veggie, vegan, and raw foods—everything is labeled, hallelujah!—and their space is airy, industrial. There’s even a small courtyard outside.

Vegan? Raw? You may just be picturing salads…well Veggie Bar will prove you wrong. Yes they still do have salads, but they also have gnocchi, burritos, nachos, pizzas, onion rings, bowls, curry, bao buns and more! Whether you have dietary restrictions/allergies or not, Vegie Bar’s inventive menu will surprise you!

Smith & Daughters
@smithanddaughters | Address: 175 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
I love how many plant-based dining options Melb has, especially in areas like Fitzroy. They serve brunch, lunch & dinner, can you guess which one we tried? Brunch obviously, and did not disappoint. Waffles, scrambled “eggs”, and corn fritters are great. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner service.

Smith & Deli
@smithanddeli | Address: 111 Moor Street. Fitzroy VIC 3065
With a vegan spin on your old-school deli favorites, Smith & Daughter’s sister eatery serves up sandwiches and is perfect for lunch!

Yong Green Food
@yonggreenfood | Address: 421 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065 If you have dietary restrictions then you’ll love the vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and biodynamic menu at Yong Green Food. They’ve got gyoza, bowls, pad thai, tofu, udon, burgers, fresh juices, smoothies, refreshers, cheesecakes, tea, and sake! It’s hard to order when you want one of everything on the menu. :)

COFFEE SHOPS

As previously mentioned, Melbourne is the definitely the coffee capital of Australia - if not the entire world. You’ll be hard pressed to find a terrible cup of coffee here, especially if you stick to local and artisan shops. Here are a few places with relaxed atmospheres, friendly faces + a kick-ass cup of coffee!

Brother Baba Budan
@brotherbababudan | Address: 359 Little Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000
Despite their space being quite compact, it doesn't stop the baristas at Brother Baba Budan from serving up delicious specialty coffee and pastries! I love the chairs hanging from the ceiling and their almond/date milk.

Proud Mary Coffee
@proudmarycoffee | Address: 172 Oxford St, Collingwood VIC 3066
Brunch was hopping when we visited, as I assume it is every weekend, so we grabbed takeaway. They have a large coffee brew selection. We ordered a cruffin and it was awseome, but I hear their ricotta hotcakes are the hot seller!

Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar
Address: 66 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000
Pellegrini's is an icon and popular destination as they claim to be the first in Melbourne to use an espresso machine. In fact their neon sign is heritage-listed! I'm not big on espresso, but their Italian food was fantastic, and rightfully so it’s an authentic Italian family-run establishment.

https://www.instagram.com/proudmarycoffee/

Industry Beans
@industrybeans | Address: 3/62 Rose St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
What makes Industry Beans an Instagram-worthy cafe? Everything! From their decor to vibe and food to coffee, the cafe is a standout in the North Fitzroy area.

A modern diner with all day breakky, specialty coffee AND a rooftop bar…can I just live here please?

Stagger Lee’s
@staggerleesfitzroy | Address: 276 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
Breakfast at Stagger Lee’s is fresh and flavorful! Their toasties are yummy and their single-origin coffee is what you’d expect from Melbourne’s coffee scene - full-bodied and delicious. Enjoy a meal at a communal table and make some new friends!

Newtown Specialty Coffee
@newtownspecialtycoffe | Address: 180 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
With a repurposed wood focal wall and a menu changes regularly, this cozy coffeeshop in the heart of Fitzroy is a gem! We snagged two seats at one of their few tables and ordered a snack and some of their top-notch coffee of course. I had a delicious avo toast with goat’s cheese!

Axil Coffee Roasters
@axilcoffeeroasters | Address: Shop E6/121 Exhibition St, Melbourne VIC 3004 + other locations
The service is great. The food is great (order the smashed avo and beet croquettes). And of course a cup of their renowned sustainable coffee.

Seven Seeds Coffee Roasters
@sevenseedscoffeeroasters | Address: 114 Berkeley St, Carlton VIC 3053
Their micro-roasted coffee and specialty teas had us visiting weekly. They also serve breakky all day, which is originally why we checked it out. :) I love me some breakfast food!

Patricia’s Coffee Brewers
Address: Little Bourke St & Little William St, Melbourne VIC 3000
Can a cafe be minimalistic? Patricia’s Coffee Brewers proves it can. The coffee is ground on-site which only enhances their no-nonsense artisanal blends. Standing room only.

Market Lane Coffee
@marketlane | Address: 8 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000 + two other locations
Their slogan is “We love to make coffee for the city that loves to drink it.” If they didn’t live up to it, Melb and its hoards of coffee snobs would be quick to dismiss them. The only downside—no alternative milk options yet.

Eureka Tower
Website | @eureka_skydeck | Address: 7 Riverside Quay, Southbank VIC 3006
Take in the panoramic views of Melbourne and its surrounds from the highest viewing platform in the Southern Hemisphere! Also take The Edge experience and look 88-stories down through a glass-plated floor.

Adding to the list of giant observation wheels around the world like the London Eye and Las Vegas High Roller, the Melbourne Star is located in the Docklands area of Melbourne and an evening ride around the wheel is a fun and unique way to see the lights over the city.

Crown Melbourne
Website | @crownresorts | Address: 8 Whiteman St, Southbank VIC 3006
The Crown casino and resort takes up two city blocks on the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, making it the largest casino complex in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the largest in the world. In typical casino fashion, the Crown is much more than just a casino, it’s also filled with shopping, restaurants, and entertainment options.
