Located in southeast Australia, Melbourne is known for its tranquil, slow pace of life.  With a mix of classic Victorian and more modern styles of architecture, Melbourne has something to offer for every member of your travel group.
The cultural capital of Australia is broken into 13 boroughs.  Fitzroy is the well-known bohemian area, though Brunswick has been recently labeled the new Fitzroy.  
St. Kilda is a beachside area of town, and is a great place to walk the piers or sunbathe. Williamstown is another area on the shore offering many small shoppes and cafés with beautiful views of the water.  
Prahran’s shopping is seemingly endless.  Stop by Chapel Street for designer boutiques, enjoy the shops and clubs on gay-friendly Commercial Road, or get a snack at the Prahran Market.
And of course, the City Centre offers many of the key tourist attractions.  Make sure to stop by Docklands Market, gawk at Eureka Tower, the tallest residential building in the southern hemisphere, and take a tour of the Parliament House of Victoria.  Tripology travel agents can secure your reservation for a group tour, along with discounted group flights to and from Melbourne and anything else you may need while you’re group is there.
Though there are trams and many residents own cars, a significant number of Melburnians use bicicyles as their premier mode of transportation.  Tripology travel agents can help your travel group become part of Melbourne’s culture by getting you discounted group rates on bicycle rentals, and helping you map a travel itinerary.  Just bring a rain jacket; Melbourne is known for its rapidly changing weather.
If you can, catch a “footy” match while you’re there; Melbourne’s Australian Football fans go wild for their home team.  And if you have time to venture out of the city, trek up to wildflower filled Grampians National Park, drive along The Great Ocean Road, or watch the penguins on Phillip Island.
