Sophia Chowdhury of @everyday.like.this shares some of her favourite spots for anyone visiting this eclectic and energetic city.
Where to Shop
CHADSTONE SHOPPING CENTRE
Wear your comfiest sneakers. This is known as the largest shopping mall in the southern hemisphere. Choose from 500 stores with a mix of both Australian and international brands.
Where to Eat
DEGRAVES STREET, MELBOURNE
Melbourne is known for its coffee. Brunch and coffee is a definite must do and with so many cafes opening up on the regular you will have no trouble finding one. One of my favourite spots is Degraves Street with its eateries, coffee shops and pretty art deco architecture.
THE QUEEN VICTORIA NIGHT MARKET
During a few months in the summer and winter, the Queen Vic Market opens up at night. It is a dream come true for foodies who can never decide on one type of dish that range from all around the globe.
What to See
HOSIER LANE, MELBOURNE
Melbourne is internationally renowned for its street art with many guided tours taking you through all of the hidden alleyways showcasing colourful wall art. Hosier Lane is a great place to start. The best thing about these streets is that they change every time you visit, so it feels like a new experience every time.
Where to Sip
SECTION 8
Discovering bars around the city is one of my favourite things to do. Drinks are served from a shipping container bar while you chill out on wooden crates and feel all the good vibes from DJs.
