With its lush countryside and European style cities and towns, the state of Victoria offers visitors a tremendous variety of scenic, cultural and dining-out experiences.
Victoria is often referred to as 'Australia in one' because all destinations in the state are within a day's drive of Melbourne, the capital.
In one or two days, you can experience the breathtaking scenery and dramatic contrasts in landscape. Alpine areas covered in snow during the winter are with hours of desert plains, pristine beaches, windswept coastlines and rugged rock formations.
Melbourne is a city renowned for its arts and culture, entertainment, sporting spectaculars, shopping and business. Located on the banks of the Yarra River and the shores of Port Phillip Bay, it has magnificent parks and gardens.
It is also a truly multicultural city where 170 languages are spoken and the diversity of restaurants is second to none. There are more that 4000 restaurants, cafes and bistros featuring more than 70 styles of cuisine. Melbournians love to eat out!
The city's architecture, climate and style have more European influence than any other Australian city. With a population of 3.2 million people, it is Australia's second largest city and a place of quality for visitors and locals.
