Like all the great cities of the world, Melbourne is exceptionally well planned. Not only its grid-like central business district, but also in the organisation of its various precincts. A Queens Place address puts you at the centre of all its key areas and attractions—the education precinct, home to Melbourne University and RMIT University; major sporting stadiums; the medical precinct; arts and entertainment venues—all are only minutes from your door thanks to the city’s efficient public transport system. Closer still is the city’s retail precinct. A two-minute walk puts you at the entry to 188,000 square metres of indoor shopping malls and department stores—all of them connected—including Melbourne Central, Emporium, Myer and David Jones; a total of just under 2,000 individual retailers. Also a two-minute walk from Queens Place, the farm fresh produce, bustling food halls, shops and traders of the historic Queen Victoria Market: the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere.
