The foodie, cultural and sports-loving capital city of Melbourne has enough to keep visitors entertained for days. But even better is that some of Victoria’s most enticing experiences are within just a few hours’ drive of the city. Look to the south for a peninsula producing tasty tipples and delicious foods and an island speckled with little penguins, or head west for incredible mountain landscapes and one of the world’s most famous coastal drives.
Victoria’s largest coastal wilderness area can be found to the east, and snow-capped ski slopes to the north. Whichever direction you turn, Victoria will serve up something unforgettable.
