🌍 About Melbourne

Melbourne's thing is coffee — not a tourist line but a real obsession, brought by Italian and Greek immigrants after WWII. Skip the chains: the independent espresso bars down the graffitied laneways (Hosier Lane for the street art, Degraves Street for cafés packed wall to wall) pour some of the world's best flat whites. The Greek precinct around Lonsdale Street reflects one of the largest Greek communities outside Greece — go there for souvlaki. The weather is the local joke, "four seasons in one day," so pack layers whatever the forecast says. AFL football is closer to religion than sport; a match at the MCG is the real experience. Come March–May for mild autumn days and cheaper fares; December–February is hot, heatwave-prone (40°C), and pricey around Christmas — the season to dodge for value.
