Melbourne Transport

Melbourne covers approximately 227,600 square kilometres (2.9% of the total land area of Australia), large enough to contain a huge variety of scenic attractions and natural wonders, and yet small enough to see them all.

Melbourne has a large public transport network that consists of world famous trams, trains, and buses with services covering all points of Melbourne's metropolitan and outer areas. Buses and coaches link up with rail and ferry operators to take you across the state where you can relax and absorb all the scenic sights in comfort.

If you only have a few days in town, your time would be best spent by riding the trams around the CBD area and visiting some of our popular precincts situated on the fringes of the city.

Visitors on a tight schedule may find that a fly/drive combination to our regional cities & towns be the best travel solution to ensure you get to see as much as possible.

For those that want the ultimate freedom, self driving options ranging from cars, bikes and campervans allow you to stop and explore where you want, when you want and for how long you want.
