Hi All,
Need couple of other information regarding melbourne .
I booked my stay at 179 powlett street east melbourne.
Do i need to rent a car to roam around the city (but afrid about the parking cost as i will be there in the week days ) or is will the free tram solve my purpose . As i gave old parents with me they cant walk much.
Please suggest.
Melbourne CBD is well connected with Trams and you will need Mikie (I hope I got the name correct) card for flexible travel between train & tram which can be topped up at any seven eleven store. BTW I don't think trams are free.
Alternative cheaper option will be to hire a cab. Car parking is expensive in Melbourne CBD in case you tend to go there often plus the driving will be bit of a challenge with taking right turns (you need to stop over at extreme left while waiting for signal to turn right).
Thanks Sun for the reply my question is how far is the free tram from my accommodation (179 powlett street east melbourne ) and will the free tram take me to all the places in CBD which i like to cover for example
1) Flinder station
2) st paul catherdral church
2a) melboune city town hall
3) Royal Arcade (till 5:30)
3) Federation Square
4) eureka sky deck (need ticket)
5) Crown casino
Lygon Street
1) MCG (need ticket) till 3 pm
2) queen victoria market till 2 pm
3) china town (for lunch)
4) Melbourne River Cruise 2:30 cruise
5) harbour town till 6 PM
6) St. Kilda Beach
Shrine of Remembrance (till 4:30)
Many Thanks
Have a look at this link: North Richmond Station and West Richmond are the closest tram stations.
Trams are well connected in the CBD, so you can go to all the places - check if you can opt for daily pass (which allows you to travel as many train lines and as many times as you like).
With a right schedule like that, I would say go for a cab rather than tram or car.
