Tips from Accorhotels.com
- When to go?
The best time to visit is during the Australian summer, from November to March. In October you can catch the International Arts Festival, and in March the Melbourne Fashion Festival.
- How to get around?
The tram, train and bus network is efficient and user-friendly, but yellow taxis can be found throughout the city. Nowadays, many prefer to get around on a bicycle, which might be an option if you feel up to the challenge!
- Good deals:
The City Circle Tram runs freely from 10AM to 6PM, stopping by most of the major attractions in the Central Business District (CBD) and offering a wealth of information along the ride.
