that's me!bourne city
OK this is going to be a very long post so I am going to split it into 3 parts:
Where I stayed:
The Victoria Hotel. It's a 3.5 star hotel located in heart of Melbourne CBD. Room is ridiculously tiny but at least it's clean. Hotel is in serious need of renovation but it's great for those on a budget yet would still like some privacy.. Address: 215 Little Collins Street, Melbourne.
How I traveled:
Skybus shuttle bus runs 24 hrs a day to/from Southern Cross Station and Melbourne Airport. Single trip adult costs you $15.00, or you can purchase a return ticket for a discounted $24.00. Ticket is valid for one month after date of purchase.
City Circle Tram is a free (weehee!) tram that travels the perimeter of the CBD in a circular route. Althought runs very slowly, I found this an excellent way to travel around and within CBD as it takes in many of Melbourne's major tourist attractions. Besides, when you're on holiday, who's in a hurry to go places?
City Tourist Shuttle Bus. Victorian government obviously invests a fair bit in support of tourism as this is another free facility they offer that allows tourists to hop on and off the bus at many of Melbourne's landmarks and key destinations including Melbourne Museum, Queen Victoria Market, Southbank, Royal Botanic Gardens and Chinatown.
Otherwise, travelling in Melbourne is made easy with Metcards that you can use on all buses, trains and trams throughout the city. A "Zone 1" 2-hour ticket costs $3.20 and a daily ticket costs $6.10.
