Melbourne is Australia's sporting capital and one of the great sports cities of the world. The city hosts more major international sporting events than almost anywhere else — the Australian Open (tennis), the Australian Grand Prix (F1), the Boxing Day Test (cricket), and the AFL Grand Final. Melburnians are passionate about sport in a way that's hard to find elsewhere. The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is a cathedral of sport — the largest stadium in the Southern Hemisphere. The city's café culture, world-class restaurants, and vibrant arts scene make it a fantastic destination beyond the sport.
