Melbourne
Australia
Melbourne hides its best in the laneways — espresso counters, street-art walls and rooftop bars behind the CBD grid — then sends you out along the Great Ocean Road's cliffs and down to Phillip Island's penguin parade. The museum quarter and St Kilda's promenade fill the city days in between.
