Cosmopolitan Melbourne, the state capital, is the heart of Victoria's thriving cultural scene, where you'll find everything from aquariums, zoos and art museums to pro football and casinos. The city's home to the country's oldest public art museum, the National Gallery of Victoria, and you can also find art, culture, film and food festivals all throughout the year. Away from the city lights, you can get back to nature with Victoria vacation rentals near Grampians National Park, a 167,000-hectare preserve with sandstone peaks and a wide array of plant and animal life.
When it comes to Victoria's activities, the only problem you'll have is choosing what to do first. Outdoorsy types will fall (not literally, we hope) for the hiking trails, campsites and epic scenery of the area's lofty mountain ranges. For a more chilled-out outdoor experience, you can head to the sandy beaches of the aptly named Surf Coast. In urban Melbourne, you'll find plenty of arts and culture, as well as posh shopping, international dining and trendy nightlife. You can also catch everything from ballet and opera to stand-up comedy and live local bands.
Despite its relatively small size, Victoria boasts a number of distinct climates, with everything from relatively wet oceanic zones on the southern coast to arid semi-deserts in the northwest. Average summer highs in the hottest parts of the state regularly climb to 32 degrees and beyond, while more temperate areas like Melbourne generally peak around 27 degrees in January and February. Winter temps vary a bit too, from right around freezing in the mountains to a downright-balmy 14 degrees on the coast. Whenever you visit, you'll find Victoria vacation rentals with everything necessary for that perfect getaway – all year round.
