The inner city is a cluster of exciting communities connected by public transport and bike paths, and the University of Melbourne is at the heart of it all. Explore our famous cobblestone lanes, go to a music festival, take in a world-class theatre production, sample amazing cuisine or catch an AFL game – you can do it all (and more!) in Melbourne. Regional Victoria is known for its iconic beaches, wineries, bushwalking and farm-to-table food, and is just a short train or bus ride away.
