From Tullamarine to Melbourne
Many people who come to Tullamarine use it as a gateway suburb to venture off to Melbourne city. Melbourne is the capital city of Victoria, which means it’s an exciting place to visit all year round.
In fact, Melbourne is known as Australia’s Capital of Culture, and it’s clear to see why. Home to some world-famous events, like Melbourne's Music Week, the International Film, Comedy, Jazz, Fringe and Writer’s festivals, the Australian F1 Grand Prix, Australian Open Tennis, Fashion Week, AFL Grand Final, and the Melbourne Cup Carnival, Melbourne always has an event that's worth attending.
However, if you would rather visit the city when an event isn’t on, there’s still plenty to do. For art and culture lovers, perhaps head to Hosier Lane, where the artwork is ever changing. It’s close to AC/DC Lane, another fantastic place to witness some great street art. If the weather turns, head inside to the National Gallery of Melbourne or the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art: you’ll find incredible pieces here of local, national, and international artists.
Melbourne is also a great place for a bite to eat, with delicious options for every meal of the day. For breakfast, check out the world-famous Lune Croissantiere, or perhaps Seedling Cafe or Grain Store, which are both fantastic choices. For an evening meal, Chin Chin is always a firm favourite, as well as Kenzan and Coda.
