Cheap flights to Melbourne

Cultural Melbourne, with its Victorian buildings, pavement cafés, slow-but-steady trams and ethnic diversity is often described as one of the most "European" city in Australia. While Sydney is undoubtedly the first port of call for tourists, many of those arriving from flights to Melbourne find that the "second city" is the more appealing. It's partly for the character of the architecture: a mixture of leafy boulevards and skyscrapers in the business district. It's partly for the wealth of culture on offer: museums and galleries are found throughout the city and two major art fairs take place annually. But more often than not, the most beguiling feature for those who book Melbourne flights time and again is the atmosphere of the city itself, characterised by its diversity. Melbourne's population is made up of many different backgrounds, with large communities from Vietnam, Greece, Turkey and Lebanon. As well as a laidback multicultural feel in the city itself, this also means that the food is some of the best in Australia. Though there is plenty to see in the city, many tourists book cheap Melbourne flights as the starting point to exploring the surrounding area. The Yarra Valley wine region is easily reached, along with the Dandenong hills and the coast.
