About Melbourne Orientation

(Melbourne, Victoria - VIC, Australia)

Much of central Melbourne is laid out as an organised network of grids and inter-connecting roads, with numerous wide streets. Edged by the scenic Yarra River, Melbourne city centre is a particularly lively area, offering an array of attractions and notable landmarks, together with many appealing art galleries, museums, restaurants and hotels. Without doubt, one of the main highlights in Melbourne city centre is the spacious Federation Square, which dominates much of this area.

Melbourne Orientation: Layout and Directions

Near to central Melbourne you will find the two riverside neighbourhoods of both South Melbourne and Richmond, with the diverse suburb of St. Kilda standing further south and offering a good selection of beaches, bars and affordable accommodation. St. Kilda has become a trendy spot, known for its friendly locals and somewhat bohemian atmosphere.

Melbourne's Southbank district contains the Crown Entertainment Complex and also the Victorian Arts Centre, both of which host a number of seasonal events. For those looking for some of Melbourne's best night spots, be sure to visit the district of Fitzroy, while the northern Carlton area is known for its Victorian architecture and Italian restaurants.
