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

Trams are one of the easiest ways to get around Melbourne CBD with a reliable train system in place to reach some of the outer suburbs. 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.
