Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Melbourne
Free tram zone covers the entire CBD. Get a myki card (AUD $6) for travel outside the free zone. Daily cap is AUD $9 on weekdays.
Melbourne weather is famously unpredictable. 'Four seasons in one day' is real. Always carry layers and a light rain jacket.
Queen Victoria Market has fresh produce and cheap eats. Asian restaurants on Elizabeth Street offer meals from AUD $10-15.
