An urban agglomeration spanning 9,900 square kilometers, Melbourne is the 2nd most populous city in both Australia and Oceania. The city’s wealth can be traced back to the Victorian Gold Rush of the 1850’s, which transformed the city into one of the world’s wealthiest and largest. Recognized as Australia’s cultural capital, it has been declared by UNESCO as a City of Literature and enjoys a dynamic street art, music and theater scene. Not surprising for the world’s most livable city for the past 5 years.
