Fitzroy is Melbourne's bohemian quarter and a great place to grab a bite to eat or enjoy a few drinks in the evening at any of the quirky bars and pubs.

The enormous Queen Victoria Market is an important Melbourne landmark that is not to be missed.

The perfect blend of rich cultural history and new-age trends, Melbourne is a place with something for everyone.
