About City

There is a lot to love about Melbourne - just ask the locals. Melbourne's lifestyle, the climate and its future plans are all part of what inspires so much passion in those who live here.

Melbourne is very much about lifestyle. It is no huge surprise to residents that their city has been ranked as one of the world’s most liveable cities.

Melburnians love the city's vibrant energy, restaurants, fashion boutiques, café-filled laneways, cool bars, unbeatable galleries, spacious parks and village-like inner suburbs, each with its own special character. Melbourne is a young city and as such it never sits still. Modern, cutting-edge designs add to the fascinating mix of heritage architecture and ensure the skyline is constantly changing.

Sometimes, the best part of visiting a new city is when you leave the tourist trail. While the big attractions can be great fun, often it’s the more subtle “insider” experiences that leave you feeling really satisfied.

 Melbourne is a magnet for people because its distinctive characteristics create memorable experiences and a vibrant lifestyle. Melbourne is Victoria’s capital city and the business, administrative, cultural and recreational hub of the state. See Melbourne at a glance. The City of Melbourne is the home, workplace and leisure centre of one of the world's most harmonious and culturally diverse communities. As a general rule, Melbourne enjoys a temperate climate with warm to hot summers, mild and sometimes balmy springs and autumns, and cool winters.Over three decades ago, Melbourne joined hands with the Japanese city of Osaka, forging our first sister city partnership. This relationship has flourished into an international network spanning the globe. The Business Partner Cities network helps small- to medium-sized enterprises to establish links with counterparts throughout the Asia–Pacific region.
