The neighbourhoods surrounding the CBD are what makes Melbourne such a diverse city; from the St Kilda Pier and beachside eateries to Fitzroy's ever-evolving cafe scene and the roar of crowds at Marvel Stadium in Docklands to the epic array of Greek restaurants on Swan Street in Richmond, Melbourne's lively suburbs are a must for any visitor. While the city is an exciting place to explore, much more awaits for those travelling a little out of the city. Day trips are popular, with the Yarra Valley just 90 minutes' drive away, full of wineries and hiking trails and Phillip Island just a short boat ride off the coast where you can watch the famous fairy penguins return at sunset after a day's fishing at sea.
Wanting to enjoy a weekend in Australia's capital of culture but you're working with a tight budget? No worries - Melbourne is full of exciting things to do for those travelling on a shoestring.
