Nicknamed the 'Wonderful', the second Australian city is certainly the first in quality of life and atmosphere and is a favorite ... by the Australians. So, not without a touch of envy, the ambitious Sydney looks away from the sparkling 'sporting and cultural capital' of Oceania. It is no coincidence that, in international rankings, Melbourne is often the leading trio of the greatest cities to live on the planet.
The most European of Australian
Where is the irresistible charm of Melbourne? First, this city is like no other in Australia. It is defined as 'European', perhaps unique to describe the atmosphere that the whole world envy of the Old Continent. Abounds, for example, cafes, bars and restaurants. The reason is simple: if the Sydney 'license 4' Australia is the privilege of the large chains of pubs because it costs a fortune, is much more accessible to Melbourne. Result: a choice that pleases everyone. For lovers of minimalist chic spaces as for the followers of the bohemian cafe with mismatched chairs, creativity has no limits!
In addition, there is also the outdoors. The city is used as a broad area of \u200b\u200bleisure, and take advantage of its fortunate inhabitants. Huge parks, endless beaches dotting the urban space. The sport will be raised to the rank of religion. Who in your family has a future champion of cricket? Sport, as always, but always with a playful spirit! He lives at the rhythm of the seasons of cricket, of "footy" (Australian football, born in Melbourne) and racing of horses institutional, for which it was even decreed a public holiday: every first Tuesday of November, the Melbourne Cup meet hundreds of thousands of Melbournians, Flemington Racecourse, or watching television.
A city of gold
1836: the little Australian colony built on the shores of Port Phillip Bay has only 177 souls. 1854: eighteen and a gold rush after the great Melbourne can be proud of a population of 123. 000. Do not miss more than an economic boom in the late nineteenth century to launch the Australian Dream (the sognoaustraliano): a house with a garden for everyone. A wind blows on the Victorian architecture of Terra Australis. The districts near the sea became a huge amusement park, in the image of St Kilda and its emblematic Luna Park, or Brighton, the beach and the small colorful houses.
Admiring the immensity of the bay and Lake Albert Park, it is hard to believe that this city surrounded by water that gold may fail to blue. Still, Melbourne fighting desperately every summer to fill the tanks. "Four seasons in one day," and even if this occurs frequently, this old adage does not prevent the dog days of summer hit, sometimes up to 40 degrees. And the water there wants to live the great number of species of exotic plants and flowers housed in botanical gardens in the capital!
A cicada Southern
The former capital of Australia has now become the capital of the festival. Taking place nell'effervescente central district of the city or in the green suburbs, Melbourne has undoubtedly the most intense schedule of events in the country, far surpassing its rival, the flamboyant Sydney. Chocolate, martial arts, jazz, slam & Flowers Polish or French cinema: there is always an interesting festival in this city among the most cosmopolitan of the planet! Dozens of nationalities live together in large communities or picole. For some years now, one of which has invaded hostels and cheap hotels: they are backpackers, backpackers who, having been around the continent, take a break in Melbourne and, fascinated by the 'Wonderful' sometimes decide to stay.
