Why Melbourne
- Australia's arts, coffee, and food capital with a creative energy unmatched on the continent
- Famous laneway street art, rooftop bars, and live music venues
- Free Tram Zone covers the entire CBD and Docklands — zero transport cost for central sightseeing
Australia's cultural capital is a backpacker favourite for its world-class street art, coffee culture, live music scene, and incredible food. While not technically on the east coast route north to Cairns, most backpackers either start or finish here. The city's Free Tram Zone and abundant free attractions make it surprisingly budget-friendly for a major Australian city.
