The Melbourne City" or "The CBD" is the central built up area of the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, centered on the Hoddle Grid, the oldest part of the city laid out in 1837, and includes its fringes. It is the larger local government area of the City of Melbourne which includes this area and the inner suburbs around it.
As much a culture and dining hub as it is a business district, the CBD has plenty of clubs, bars and chic eateries on its street art plastered laneways. Shoppers throng the ornate 19th-century arcades and sprawling Queen Victoria Market. Federation Square offers Australian art at the Ian Potter Centre, and art-house films and movies at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.
The City of Melbourne represents the city's regularly grid-planned Central Business District and historical core, located on the north bank of the Yarra River. Being at the center of Melbourne, the CBD is extremely well-serviced by all forms of public transport which is free for all in the area of city. Driving into the CBD is discouraged, due to traffic congestion, limited mobility and parking availability
Melbourne is a mix of old and new city. Exclusive shopping arcades and the bustling Queen Victoria Market, along with historical landmarks from centuries ago, blend in with modern office towers. The Rialto Towers in Collins Street is the central business district's tallest building, rising to a height of 251 meters. Views of Melbourne's city skyline can be enjoyed from the taller Eureka Tower across the Yarra River in neighboring Southbank or the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel at Docklands.
It s exciting to travel Melbourne every time. I prefer all to visit Melbourne.
