HIP MELBOURNE

Amazing hip area of Melbourne CBD, Centre Place,  shows why the city centre is such a retail magnet, offering customers a wide variety of experiences to suit eclectic tastes.   The city has done a great job of using lanes and alleys to create retail precincts (mostly around food and specialty boutiques) which are an excellent counterpoint to the more traditional high street and mall fare.  While this one is more 'hip', many of the others are in a more traditional European style.
