Navigating Melbourne

Catching Public Transport

Using public transport in the Melbourne CBD requires a myki card. You can purchase a myki card at most convenience stores or major train stations across Melbourne for $6. This will provide you access to Melbourne's trams, trains, and buses. There is a ‘Free Tram Zone’ within the Melbourne CBD, however outside of this area you will need to 'Touch On' your myki. You can download a map of the Free Tram Zone here. The free PTV app is also a useful resource to help with navigation by public transport.

Traveling From the Airport

The SkyBus travels from Tullamarine Airport to Southern Cross Station in the Melbourne CBD. The shuttle bus leaves the airport roughly every 20 minutes and costs $24 for a one-way pass or $40 for a return fare. Private shuttle buses from the airport can also be booked.
