I've lived in Melbourne all my life. There are lots of things to do here. It depends on what sorts of things you enjoy and how much time you have.

As well as things to see/do in the city, there are some fantastic trips you can do around Victoria in general.

Provide a few more details about your interests and how long your holiday is, and I'll follow up. Send me a message if you like.

E.g. do you prefer food & culture, arts events, live music, shopping, winery tours, bicycle tours, natural sceneries, rainforests, beaches, hiking, wildlife.....

SHOPPING - nowhere else has better shopping than Melbourne
Places like Myer and Melbourne Central SC are great and are always crowded with people.
