Destination & City Travel Guide

About Melbourne

Melbourne’s centre is organised on a grid, making it easy to pair Federation Square with nearby galleries and the Yarra riverfront. Queen Victoria Market and the Royal Botanic Gardens deserve separate outings rather than a hurried loop. Tram routes cover the inner city, while trains open coastal and regional day trips. Indian travellers often have relatives or university appointments here, so a flexible plan is useful. Melbourne Airport has no passenger rail station; the express bus reaches Southern Cross, where city trains and trams connect.

What's new in Melbourne

November 2025: The Metro Tunnel opened with five underground stations, adding access to Parkville, the central city and the St Kilda Road area.
February 2026: Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury trains switched fully to the tunnel, while Frankston services returned to the City Loop, changing useful interchange routes.

Tips for travellers from India

Southern Cross is convenient for a SkyBus arrival, while a stay nearer Flinders Street suits Federation Square and the river. Melbourne Airport still requires a road transfer; the Metro Tunnel is a city railway project, not an airport rail link. A hotel near the central tram network can simplify the final leg after the express bus.

The Free Tram Zone covers a defined central area, so check the boundary before riding towards the Royal Botanic Gardens or farther suburbs. Queen Victoria Market belongs to the northern side of the centre, while the gardens sit across the river from the main grid. The Metro Tunnel’s Town Hall and State Library stations connect with established central stations, and Anzac gives the St Kilda Road area another rail access point. At the airport, international flights use Terminal 2, while domestic airlines use other terminals. An onward flight within Australia therefore needs the domestic terminal indicated by the carrier, even when both legs appear on one booking.

Best time to visit Melbourne

March to May or September to November, roughly 11–24°C, for parks and streets.

Airport Information & Terminals

CHC: Christchurch airport. Airport access in Christchurch depends on arrival time, terminal, hotel location and local traffic. Confirm the airport name on the ticket, then choose between official taxi, app cab, airport bus, rail or hotel transfer based on luggage and time of day.

MEL: Melbourne airport. Melbourne airport transfer should be matched to the exact hotel, suburb or meeting area. Rail can work well for light luggage, but late arrivals, winter weather and family baggage often make a direct cab or booked transfer easier.
