Frequently Asked Questions

At Station Pier in Port Melbourne, on Port Phillip Bay. The pier has received travellers since 1854: gold seekers, soldiers, then hundreds of thousands of post-war migrants who first set foot in Australia here.
A few hundred metres on foot brings you to the Beacon Cove stop, where the number 109 tram runs into the city in about twenty minutes. Taxis and chauffeured cars round out the options.
In the heart of the central business district, yes: that area is a free tram zone, which simplifies a day of exploring. The ride in from Station Pier itself is not free.
The city's real heart, tucked between the grand streets laid out in the 19th century: Hosier Lane with walls that change as street artists work, the Victorian glass of Block Arcade and Royal Arcade, Degraves Street with its tightly packed cafés, Centre Place where lunch is eaten standing. No official route links them: you get lost, and that's the point.
The 109 tram into town, the laneways around Flinders Street, Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria, then the Queen Victoria Market. That's already a full plate: Melbourne is savoured, not swallowed.
Museums and cafés in angular architecture that still divides opinion — Melburnians love arguing about it. Opposite stands Flinders Street Station, its yellow domed facade the emblem of the city. Nearby, the National Gallery of Victoria, the country's oldest public art museum, deserves an hour if only for its great stained-glass ceiling.
An institution trading since the late 19th century, where cheesemongers, fishmongers and greengrocers keep the market-hall spirit alive under long glass roofs. It makes a formidable picnic — Australian cheeses, jam doughnuts famous across the city — best eaten on the banks of the Yarra.
The Royal Botanic Gardens, across the Yarra and minutes from the noise: lawns, lakes and avenues of eucalypts, with cockatoos putting on a show without being asked. The waterside paths make a welcome pause.
Cooking shaped by waves of Greek, Italian, Vietnamese and Chinese migration, which long ago stopped needing comparisons. And coffee: the baristas of Degraves Street take espresso seriously, and riding a tram counts as a local pleasure of the same order.
Australian dollars and English. Cards and contactless payment work everywhere, from the trams to the Queen Victoria Market stalls.
