Sure, Melbourne's got Vespas parked outside sidewalk cafes and your tailored winter coat will always get a workout here, but this town is no poor man's Europe. The star of the south is home to the world's best baristas, quality late-night dining and truly great shoe shopping, without wowsery curfews, iced pavements or a $1000 airfare. This season, expect great coups in the art exhibition world, affordable eats from the brightest chefs and gorgeous indie fashion.
