The true name of the so-called “Melbourne Central Business District (CBD)” is Naarm, which means ‘place’. Naarm was a meeting place for all the language groups of the Kulin nation, a collective of five First Nations language groups: The Woiwurrung, Boonwurrung, Wathaurrung , Taungurung, and Dja DjaWrung. Now, in the CBD you will find some of the best music venues, galleries, shops, public spaces, restaurants, and coffee shops that Naarm has to offer. The idea is that you select some things from the list below to plan your perfect trip in the CBD.
