Is Melbourne Very Expensive?
Melbourne can be an expensive city, but the overall cost depends on your lifestyle, location and spending habits. Accommodation is usually one of the biggest expenses, especially in Melbourne CBD and popular inner-city suburbs. Food costs can also vary depending on whether you cook at home or eat at restaurants and cafés. Public transport offers a convenient way to travel around the city and can help reduce transportation costs. Melbourne also has many free and affordable attractions.
