You will quickly find that this is only skin deep as the city has a creative energy that is almost infectious. The CBD is myriad distinct precincts - each with its own flavour and charm. Weaving a maze through the city grid, Melbourne’s streets and laneways uncover hidden treasures and a charming, intimate atmosphere and are an absolute must to explore it’s secret galleries, shops and cafes.

Weather
Melbourne weather is renowned for it’s changeability, so we would advise you to bring an umbrella and don't forget to bring a warm coat, hat and gloves (if you really feel the cold). Day time temperatures in May can range from 12°C to 22°C with night time temperature as low as 4°C to 6°C so you will need a coat for the evening.
