Situated on the coast of southeastern Australia, Melbourne is the country’s coolest city — literally and figuratively. From its discreet laneways to its underground arcades, the city is filled with eclectic boutiques, cafes, bars, and bookstores. With some of the world’s most impressive street murals plastered on every corner too, there’s something cool to catch your eye everywhere you go. However, each area of the city is wonderfully distinctive; while Fitzroy is an edgy hipster enclave, the CBD gives fast-paced lifestyle vibes, and the Docklands will allow you to sit back and relax by the Yarra River.
Melbourne Airport (MEL) is the city's main international airport, providing direct flights to and from major cities across the Middle East, Asia, and the USA. It is located 20 km to the north of the city centre, which can be reached by taxi, shuttle bus (SkyBus, Starbus, VHA Airport Shuttles), and public bus.
Avalon Airport (AVV) is the second largest airport, located 50 km south-west of the city (towards Geelong), and serves mainly Asian and domestic routes. Melbourne city centre is accessible by taxi and SkyBus shuttle transfer.
