Maybe you are backpacking in Melbourne like me and want to be prepared before visiting melbourne. This post is perfect for you!

 

Melbourne things to know before going there:

 

1. Mycki card

As all of the cities in Australia have also Melbourne a rechargeable card. You can buy the mycki card in 7 eleven or ezymarts or at the big stations in the CBD. Trams and Trains you just need to tap on once and can drive for 2 hours around as much as you like. Only for the bus you have to touch on and off every time. It is 4,60 dollars per touch for 2 hours.

 

2. Free Tram Zone

If you are just in the CBD then there is also a free tram zone, so you don’t have to pay for every stop you drive which is great and you travel to the most important stops without paying a cent!

 

3. CBD

There is the free Tramzone, but Melbourne’s CBD is not really big. You can easily walk to the most important attractions and I would definitely recommend that because Melbourne has so many amazing corners and hidden places!

 

4. Skybus

Top thing to know is on how to get from the airport into the city! There is a bus going from the Tullamarine Airport to the CBD Central Station all the time. One way ticket costs about 12 dollars. They can drop you off at all the gates. It is so easy to get to the city or to the airport because of that system and the tickets are easy to buy online.

 

5. Airports

There are two airports: Tullamarine Airport and Altona Airport. The Tullamarine airport is not as far away as the altona one from the CBD and all the people we know arrived and departed in tullamarine.

 

6. Melbourne things to know: Day Trips

When you visit Melbourne then you have to do at least a day trip to the great ocean road (twelve apostles) or Phillip Island with their pinguins!

 

Have a great time in Melbourne!
