Monocle‘s most recent addition to its Travel Guide Series takes us down under to Melbourne Australia. In a cityscape dotted with Victorian terrace houses and cobblestone laneways, you’ll find a number independent retail shops, fusion restaurants, and museums supporting the country’s national art. In recent years, Melbourne’s specialty coffee scene has been growing especially strong with over 5,000 unique cafes now open across the city — making Monocle’s highlights especially helpful in deciding which ones to check out during your visit.

Watch the clip in full above. For more travel inspiration, take a look at our guide to Mexico City and it’s thriving streetwear scene.
