Australia's oldest continuous Chinese settlement, Melbourne's Chinatown began with a few boarding-houses in the 1850s (when the goldrushes attracted Chinese people in droves, many from the Pearl River Delta near Hong Kong) and grew as the gold began to run out and Chinese fortune-seekers headed back to the city.
Home to the Melbourne Cricket Club since 1853, the MCG is now a vast and rather ugly slab of concrete, as only the historic members' stand survived the complete reconstruction that made the ground the centrepiece for the 1956 Olympic Games.
Running from St Kilda Road down to the Esplanade, Fitzroy Street is Melbourne's red-light district - usually pretty tame, though late at night not a comfortable place for women alone - and epitomizes this split personality: it's lined with dozens of thoroughly pretentious caf¨¦s and bars from which to gawp at the strip's goings-on.

North Melbourne, while it's quite a pleasant neighbourhood surrounding the University of Melbourne, and is not that far from the CBD, is further from most points of interest than most of the other neighbourhoods I've mentioned.
Other areas that are really close to the CBD are Carlton (immediately north of the CBD and home of Lygon Street, famous for its variety of restaurants) and East Melbourne.
