Formula 1 fans stay in the city centre when visiting the Australian Grand Prix as the circuit is just three miles from downtown, meaning it is easily reachable by car and public transport. Albert Park hosts the opening grand prix of the year and it is one of the most eagerly anticipated races. This is where the competitive order of the new cars is truly established for the first time.
Melbourne is the capital of the state of Victoria and the region's largest city. It is known as Australia's culture capital and national TV, film and sport all have a strong presence there. The city has had a prosperous past and now is one of the southern hemisphere's largest economic hubs. The Economist also named it as one of the most liveable cities in the world for 2018.
