Due to the last two years, many people decided to leave Melbourne and move to regional Victoria. But let’s see the positives why you should be living in Melbourne.
1. SHOP TILL YOU DROP
From fresh foods to high-end clothing brands, Melbourne has it all. Famous markets such as South Melbourne and Queen Victoria Market are an experience in themselves. You will find the freshest produce for your weekly dishes. Now, if it’s an outfit you need for that Friday night cocktail party head over to the fashion capital Chadstone Shopping Centre, where you can shop for days.
2. DELICIOUS CUISINES FROM AROUND THE WORLD
With Melbourne being such a multicultural city, we are lucky to experience cuisines from across the globe. If it’s Yum Cha you are looking for, Melbourne’s Chinatown is the place to be. A distinctive and well-known area with the main focus being along Little Bourke Street, filled with alleys that link back into the heart of the CBD Bourke Street and Lonsdale Street. Feel like a bit of Italian, head over to the well-known Little Italy precinct, the place where Melbourne’s famous café culture was born. Stroll along leafy Lygon Street situated in the heart of Carlton and enjoy the cuisine, from pizza to pasta you really can’t go wrong. Either way, Melbourne has plenty of international cuisines that will tickle your taste buds.
3. THE GARDEN STATE
Melbourne is well-known for being the garden state of Australia, where we have hectares and hectares of gardens and parks. The Royal Botanical and Fitzroy are famous gardens but don’t forget the smaller parks that Melbournians to escape for a break. Also, playgrounds and barbeque facilities appeal to families to have a place to take their children.
4. ART SCENE
Melbourne’s Art Precinct is the home of incredible imagery that all Melbournians can experience first-hand. The National Gallery of Victoria allows art lovers to view local works and major international exhibitions and installations.  But it can be a family experience as well, where children can learn and play. Experience the beautifully painted lane ways and enjoy the various street art for a more relaxed experience.
5. THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Melbourne has always labelled itself as being the sporting capital of the world.  In winter, Melbournians can fill the MCG, with up to 100,000 people for an AFL match, and 800,000 can attend the Australian Tennis Open. Furthermore, we love to play sport with domestic leagues filling sport and recreation centres across Melbourne.
6. BUSES, TRAMS AND TRAINS, OH MY!
Melbourne is a transport mecca, where it is all connected by buses, trains and trams.  The government's investment in the transport system has improved Melbournian's travel times, in terms of how quickly they can get around one of the most liveable cities in the world. The PTV app makes it easier to plan your journey across Melbourne, so that you get there without a major delay
7. COFFEE, COFFEE AND MORE COFFEE
For coffee lovers, Melbourne is heaven.  From Viva’s favourite coffee shop in Carlton, 7 Seeds, to brewers in the suburban areas, there is no doubt that you will be able to find your coffee craving.
The benefits of living in Melbourne are endless.
