Getting around
Most visitors base themselves in the city centre, the buzzing commercial heart of Melbourne that's also home to museums, theatres, restaurants, bars and shops. The city's layout makes Melbourne an easy city to navigate, and almost everything is within walking distance – if it's not, simply hop aboard a train, tram or bus.
Ticket types
You'll see two types of tickets during your visit. Melbourne is currently moving from Metcards to a new smartcard ticketing system called myki. During this time, it's recommended that visitors continue to buy Metcards.
