Upon your arrival in Melbourne

Upon arriving in Melbourne, you’ll have a few options available to get into the city. A convenient route is via taxi, taking you downtown in approximately 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can board the Skybus or a local bus, both of which will take around 45 minutes.

A brief introduction to Melbourne

Known as the sporting and cultural capital of Australia, Melbourne is home to bustling laneways, a multicultural dining scene, and an array of fascinating museums.

Begin your trip by heading to the Eureka Skydeck - the highest observation deck in the Southern hemisphere. From the 300-metre high vantage point, you’ll be able to spot some of the most iconic sights in Melbourne within the sprawling cityscape. Be sure to grab a drink from the bar at the top or, if you are daring enough, step onto the Edge - a moving glass cube that brings you 3 metres out from the building.

Owing to its British past, Melbourne brims with small streets called laneways that are lined with a trendy mix of cafes, bars, and street art. Foodies should head straight to Centre Place to dine at one of the many chic restaurants that line either side. Other highly recommended laneways include Degraves Street, Collins Street, and Little Bourke Street - all of which are awash with culture, interesting street murals, and frequently host live street music.

Heritage and culture lovers will find plenty to do in Melbourne’s many museums and galleries, with the Immigration Museum, Old Treasury Building, and Old Melbourne Gaol being among the most popular. All three offer a fascinating insight into the city’s 150-year storied past. Sports fans should remember to check if anything is currently on at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and not miss the chance to experience a fun-filled day out at the largest stadium in the Southern hemisphere.

Those looking to venture on a day trip should consider heading to the scenic Yarra Valley, which is located around 75 minutes away by bus. The gorgeous region is known for its stunning vineyards and wineries where you can sample some of the region's world class wines, indulge in gourmet cuisine, and take a hot air balloon ride over the picturesque landscape.
