Melbourne is a city of contrasts with elegant 19th century architecture in the older parts of the town and the sharp straight planes of modern high-rise buildings thrusting skywards above them. Passionate about football and the great outdoors it also has a healthy cultural sense, showing in a love for ballet and the theatre. Visitors are drawn to Melbourne with its cosmopolitan air and the excellent shopping, restaurant and sizzling nightlife.
