Melbourne<\/strong> is a liberal multicultural metropolis, a dynamic, cosmopolitan, sports-mad and artsy stronghold with a vibrant food scene. The settlement on the banks of the Yarra<\/strong> turned into a prosperous metropolis with the goldrush<\/em> in no time.<\/em> Decades of wealth and migrants from all over the world resulted in magnificent buildings, cathedrals, parks and an artistic society full of birds of paradise.<\/p>\n Thrillseekers<\/em> begin their exploration on The Edge<\/strong>, the gold with glasses Skydeck<\/strong> on the 88th floor of Eureka<\/strong> giving 360\u00b0 views of all the orderly lyrical beauty that the city is rich. Federation Square<\/strong>, the thumping heart of Melbourne<\/strong> where art, culture and events are celebrated among futuristic design is on the edge of the Cultural Business Center<\/strong>. CBD<\/strong> is where you need to be for the best coffee, restaurants and bars and hidden hotspots on rooftops, in warehouses and street art decorated alleys. Stroll around the sprawling Queen Victoria Market<\/strong> and find the differences between Aboriginal and modern Australian art at the National Gallery of Victoria.<\/strong> Also very special; Folios of Australia’s East Coast explorer James Cook<\/strong> are kept in the State Library of<\/strong> Victoria.<\/p>\n For a moment’s rest, settle down in the Royal Botanic Gardens;<\/strong> an improbably beautiful park where the silence is only broken by overflying helicopter taxis. See the sun in the sea sinks on St. Kilda<\/strong>The beach before you get ready for the night. Do you opt for the alternative eateries and pubs in colourful Fitzroy<\/strong> or the dandy art-deco-like scene in South Yarra?<\/strong> An evening at an original hippie commune is also possible. Then go to Lentil as Anything, Where the world can’t find you…<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A dynamic, cosmopolitan, sports-mad and artistic stronghold with a vibrant food scene<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":303,"featured_media":27900,"parent":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"country":[258],"highlight_category":[602],"continent_category":[257],"class_list":["post-31718","highlights","type-highlights","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-australia","highlight_category-gebied-en","continent_category-oceania"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/31718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/highlights"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/303"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31718"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/31718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":229172,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/31718\/revisions\/229172"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=31718"},{"taxonomy":"highlight_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlight_category?post=31718"},{"taxonomy":"continent_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent_category?post=31718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
