Editor Rating: 8- Melbourne isn’t going to be kind on the wallet, but if you use a little ingenuity, you can get by on a near-backpacker budget. You won’t be living the high life, though, that’s for sure.
Indie Travel Scale
Editor Rating: 6- It can be difficult to have a true indie experience in any large city, but Melbourne is a little different as it’s Australia’s cultural capital.
