Melbourne is the second most populated city in Australia and regularly ranked as one of the world's most liveable cities. The city of Melbourne is also home to some of Australia's most iconic sporting venues with the Melbourne Cricket Ground (better known as the MCG), the multi-purpose Etihad Stadium located at the Docklands and the Rod Laver Arena (home of the Australian Open tennis major), among the great stadia located in the city. Melbourne has much more than great sporting arenas though and the city centre, with its wonderful skyline is packed with designer shops, trendy restaurants and magnificent hotels.

Melbourne is also a city famous for its arts and culture and home to many great markets, none more impressive than Queen Victoria Market. With a national gallery, sea life aquarium, museum, zoo and botanical gardens all located in the city, there will be plenty for you to see and do on your trip to Melbourne. For shopping lovers among you, Melbourne Central is the city’s shopping hub and the perfect place to start out on your shopping trip in Melbourne.

If you want a break from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne city life, a short trip outside the city will bring you to the beautiful Yarra Valley, home to many great vineyards and part of Australia's thriving wine industry. Complete your trip to Melbourne by enjoying a game of blackjack at roulette at one of the city's premier entertainments complexes - The Crown Casino.
