City/town information
Great city for sightseeing (see YouTube for 10 best sights to see...or more!) and clubbing or dining out. Likened to New York, but on a smaller scale, excellent public transport (ask me about a Myki card) and many different themes to enjoy: arts, parks and gardens, nightlife including casinos, cafe culture, shopping, walking tours, markets and much much more!
