Are you travelling with a teen to\u00a0Melbourne<\/a>? The big kids know this cultural hub has some of Australia\u2019s best art, culture and food but how do you communicate the joy of an Italian Masterpiece exhibition to your fifteen year old?<\/p>\n

Yes, you don\u2019t want them to miss out, but it won’t be fun for anyone if you end up with a teen tantrum on your hands.<\/p>\n

Marriott Hotels<\/a>\u00a0has been clever, very clever, and started a concierge program.\u00a0This City My Way<\/a>\u00a0is a website dedicated to things to do in Australia\u2019s major cities\u00a0for teens, written by teens.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s 15 year old\u00a0Isabelle Clarke\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0suggestions for five different types of teenagers in Melbourne:<\/p>\n

Melbourne has been voted one of the most liveable cities in the world and there’s no questioning how it got its title. With the abundance of activities and leisure opportunities we allow to our visitors, Melbourne is definitely a capital of fun for everyone, especially teens.<\/p>\n

1. Budding artists<\/h2>\n

You’ll often hear people ranting on about Melbourne’s diverse street art \u2013 kids will find this cool too. If you’re interested in art, photography or have an artistic flare, the cobblestoned laneways filled top to bottom with fine art created by Melbourne’s own artists are a must see, and are perfect for your next Instagram post! Head down to Rankins Lane, Hosier Lane, Hardware Lane and Degraves Street to take a few shots of unique graffiti art.<\/p>\n

2. Fitness Fanatics<\/h2>\n

The perfect road trip for the fitness junkies or those who are keen to get outdoors is the 40 minute drive out to the Dandenong Range\u2019s 1000 Steps Kokada. Slip on your runners and take the steps fast (or slow!). Don\u2019t forget to soak up the lovely atmosphere of the ranges. Your iPod isn’t even needed \u2013 the rainforest sounds are the perfect playlist for your workout. A picnic or Devonshire tea in the mountains is the well-deserved reward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
