Melbourne Travel Guide
Melbourne (say mel-bun) is the cultivated sister of brassy Sydney. To the extent that culture is synonymous with sophistication -- except when it comes to watching Australian Rules Football or the Melbourne Cup -- some call this city the cultural capital of the continent. Melbourne is also known for its rich migrant influences, particularly those expressed through food: the espresso cafés on Lygon Street, Melbourne's "little Italy," Brunswick's Middle Eastern/Indian/Turkish enclave, Richmond's "little Vietnam," or the Chinatown district of the city center.
