Transportation and getting around the city
From the airport to the city, hopping on the SkyBus is your best bet—it's frequent, reliable, and drops you off at Southern Cross Station, right in the heart of Melbourne. Once you're in the city, public transport is king. Trams crisscross the streets, making it easy to zip around. Get yourself a myki card from any convenience store or train station to tap on and off seamlessly. If you're feeling lazy or just want to soak in the sights, hop on one of the iconic red tour buses—they'll take you around all the must-see spots with commentary to boot.
Taxis are plentiful, but keep in mind they're not the cheapest option. Melbourne's pretty walkable too, especially around the CBD and along the Yarra River—perfect for stretching your legs and discovering hidden gems. When it comes to tickets for attractions or tours, you can book online in advance or head to visitor centers dotted around the city.
Now, for some handy travel tips: Aussie dollars are the local currency, and while many places accept cards, it's always good to have some cash on hand for smaller purchases or places that might not take cards. Oh, and don't forget your adapter—you'll need a Type I socket here to charge up your gadgets. Happy exploring!
