Melbourne is a cosmopolitan city, full of contrasts and claims to be the style capital of Australia. Plenty to see and do both in the city and the surrounding region.  Try one of the Gourmet food tours, visit some of the wineries a pleasant drive from the city centre. For those into 'Retail Therapy' you will not be disappointed at the number and quality of the shops and designer boutiques to choose from. Capital of the State of Victoria, there is a strong European flavour to this port of call.
