After five weeks in New Zealand, it was time for a change of scenery. Following my original plan and given the proximity, Australia was the obvious choice. However, I had to shorten my stay to reach Japan in time for the cherry blossoms. I decided to split the next two weeks between Melbourne and Sydney. I was also looking forward to finally slowing down and staying more than 1–2 nights in the same place (or so I thought 😅). Just a few days before my arrival, Melbourne was named the "best city in the world". Can it live up to expectations? My exploration started in the Queen Victoria Market, a local yet somewhat touristy place. It is the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere. I wanted to visit the Royal Exhibition Building, a UNESCO World Heritage building, but unfortunately, a private event was taking place. Melbourne offers a lot of street art. Hosier Lane is a popular alley completely covered in graffiti. The Block Arcade is a great place to admire Victorian and Art…
