Melbourne through travelers' eyes

I spent two months in Melbourne for study, and I really enjoyed the culture and diversity. The trams make it easy to travel, and people are super polite. Just prepare for expensive rent!

I loved the multicultural food in Melbourne. From ramen to Vietnamese pho, everything tasted amazing. The city felt very international, but sometimes too windy! Still, I’d recommend it to everyone.

The food options are incredible! From Vietnamese pho to Italian pasta, everything tastes authentic. The only downside is how unpredictable the weather can be rain, you should bring an umbrella always!

I had such a good time in Melbourne! The botanical gardens were beautiful, and the food was delicious. Trams are convenient, and the architecture mixes old and new perfectly. I’d love to return in spring.

This city balances lifestyle and work so well. Great coffee, creative people, and strong sense of community. But public transport could be cleaner and more punctual.

Melbourne is a beautiful blend of nature and city life. The Royal Botanic Gardens are peaceful, and the trams are iconic. But food prices are higher than I expected.
