Best time to visit Melbourne
Melbourne weather is notoriously moody and prone to extremes. The best time to visit is Autumn (March to May) or Spring (September to November). During these months the weather tends to be more stable, and off-peak travel mitigates crowds. With this in mind Melbourne is home to many events, some of which may be hosted during peak travel times.
Getting around Melbourne

There are of course also buses though these are a less popular choice. Make sure you purchase a Myki card and load it up with funds to access public transport. These can be found online or at convenience stores and train stations.
