The City of Melbourne is the centre of Victoria’s business, administrative, cultural and recreational activities. On average, over 850,000 people visit the city centre every day and each year Melbourne hosts over a million international visitors.
Nearly 50 per cent of Melbourne’s residents were born overseas, making Melbourne one of the most multicultural areas of Victoria. Locals love the constant activity in the city and the easy transport to some of Australia’s most iconic locations like the MCG, the National Gallery of Victoria and several of Melbourne’s universities.
