Melbourne is a charismatic city known for its laneways, thriving arts scene and love of spectator sports.
While temperamental weather is a trait of the city, it's no roadblock for sightseeing. Use wet weather days as an opportunity to check out SEA LIFE aquarium, the National Sports Museum at the MCG, or view the city from the soaring Melbourne Skydeck at Eureka Tower.
Blessed with a sunny day? Explore the city's striking street art with a guided walking tour or get adventurous with a paddle along the Yarra River.
