If you experience a problem while travelling, we act on your behalf as your personal travel advocate.

Not only do we tailor the itinerary to suit your needs, we guide you to the right restaurant, museum, or off-the-beaten-track excursion – that’s perfect for you.

Support local business

animal hands icon

Even when booking a domestic trip, your money can often end up with overseas conglomerates. Most widely used online travel booking platforms are internationally-owned, meaning a cut of your travel budget ends up overseas. When working with a locally-owned travel agency, you can be confident your money is supporting local business and local jobs.

Around the state or around the world, Worldmark Travel can suggest the perfect destination for all tastes and budgets.

Whether it’s a family beachside holiday, a romantic tryst in an ultra-luxe resort or a quick, revitalising city break, we’ve got the solutions at our fingertips.

Flights, transfers, accommodation, tours, sightseeing and reservations, all arranged by professional travel experts with your satisfaction their only focus.

WORLDMARK TRAVEL SPECIALISATION

Lebanese & middle eastern travel .

Our strong links to the Australian Lebanese community have led us to be the agent of choice when our clients wish to return to visit friends and relatives.

Booking so many air tickets has encouraged airlines from the gulf states to sometimes offer special unpublished fares for our clients.

With ready access to the best fares available, and a comprehensive knowledge of unique Lebanese travel requirements, make Worldmark Travel the first point of contact for Lebanese Travel.

CALL FOR AIRFARE QUOTES

As Lebanon and Levantine travel specialists, our partner airlines often release special ticket deals for short periods.

Always call us for latest ticketing offers from Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways before booking elsewhere.

Where can we send you?

Queensland New South Wales Tasmania South Australia/Northern Territory Western Australia

New Zealand Cook Islands Fiji Vanuatu Tahiti New Caledonia

Middle East

Lebanon Egypt Iran Jordan

How do you get access to such a wide range of deals?

We are proud members of MY TRAVEL GROUP , a network of around 800 independent travel agents around Australia. Such a large buying group means we have a lot of clout when negotiating with our suppliers.

Can you guarantee the lowest price for air tickets?

We deal exclusively with AIR TICKETS Australia’s largest and best-resourced consolidator of airline tickets. This gives us fingertip access to the widest range of fare types from over 100 global carriers at very competitive prices. While we can’t offer an iron-clad guarantee of always the lowest prices, we’re very confident that any quote we provide is for the BEST price for the RIGHT service for every individual’s needs.

What’s the best destination for a holiday?

That’s impossible to answer without knowing a lot about you, your interests, your dreams, your budget and your time availability. It’s why we prefer to spend a lot of time to learn and understand our clients. It’s also why they keep coming back year after year.

How can you get exclusive airfare deals?

Each year we send many hundreds of travellers to celebrations and festivals around the globe. This means the airlines, in particular the Gulf State carriers Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways appreciate our support and occasionally recognise our efforts with special fare offers.

Can I go overseas without travel insurance?

No. Just don’t do it. We’ve heard tales of travellers going bankrupt after having accidents, or falling ill overseas. Under no circumstances will we recommend travel (domestic or international) without travel insurance.

I approached W2T with a rough idea of a holiday that I was interested in but hadn’t completely sold myself on, basically some rough dates and ideas to canvas and get the plan underway. From here W2T made things so easy that it quickly became a reality. They were happy to accommodate changes to the draft itinerary and offered further links and help to add to the plans I’d given them. Most importantly, it was very fairly priced. The result was a very happy customer; two weeks in Sth Africa with flights and accommodation seamlessly sorted. The locations picked were perfect to access the best parts of Johannesburg and Cape Town and the weather (whilst out of W2T’s control) was spot on too. The responsiveness, knowledge and general service from James was outstanding and I will absolutely contact these guys again for my next trip. Kind regards, Sean Lester

Thank you so much for helping on this. I couldn't have done it without you.... I have a friend here trying to get home on qantas and she has been hung up on for three days now. Makes me even more thank you. Jackie Pilkington

Hi James, Thank you for all your hard work organising and coordinating our holiday. Everything ran so smoothly for us, your efforts made all the difference. We had the most wonderful time! It was so special to holiday all together- the first time all together in 4 1/2 years! Dad has already started talking about the next family holiday!. Thanks again for everything, James - Kass

We were looking at booking Club Med and unfortunately their website couldn’t process our requests. I contacted where2travel and James responded instantly. He’s quick responses and service has been amazing. Everyone was organised within days, and we were extremely happy. Thank you James for doing an amazing job.

Many thanks Garrath. Our take from all dealings with you—over last 1-2 years— and notably recently, is that Liz and I are extremely fortunate to have landed in your territory. So —“ here’s to a long continuation of enjoyable association with you, and where2travel.” Cheers Robin

Thank you so much for organising flights and sending details which we now have. You even managed a fantastic luggage allowance, I can't thank you enough for all you have done for us especially in these difficult times. You are an amazingly clever knowledgeable travel agent, patient and kind and we thank you for all you have done for us over the years. Lets hope the travel industry thrives again. Hope you have a special Easter and a well earned rest love best wishes from Chris and Clive

Just wanted to thank you for a very prompt and efficient organization of our holiday from flights to car to accommodation... everything was exceptional and it made for a great holiday 🙂 Evi and I were wrapped and we look forward to dealing with you in our future ventures .. next big one in august in NZ fingers crossed! Kind regards Lisa and Evi

We just wanted to say again how wonderful Fiona Provis has been as our Travel Designer over many years but in particular we wanted to acknowledge her work during this very challenging time. She has been amazing and handled all our bookings and cancellations and rebookings with minimum fuss to ensure that we were as little out of pocket as possible and setting up our trip all over again for next year. She has kept us posted continually with emails and phone calls and has made our travel woes less so. We so appreciate all her efforts. We wish you all safe and healthy times ahead. Judy and Neil Fawcett

Thanks for arranging this. We're very glad we used professionals rather than try to do this ourselves. We appreciate all your assistance and we'll certainly be back to book our trip with you when this crisis settles down. From Maurie & Vera Hasen

What a fabulous trip. I am templed and bus-ed out. Cruiseco were so well organised with everything they did. Even changes to the itinerary didnt faze them. John Hickman was sensational with his organising of the golf, co-coordinating with Cruiseco before, during after the boat trip. Hats off to both of them. From the tour guides to the buses, they did it so professionally. Rosie was the Cruiseco Host on the boat. So professional, from singing to organising shows for the evening. Diversity of people - I was the youngest except for John & Nicole. Glad to get home. I think 14 days of Vietnam & Cambodia is more than enough. Many thanks for your assistance - Trevor Hamilton

The trip has been an eye opener and our experiences of Sri Lanka have been wonderful. It is certainly a green lush country. The service is excellent, and the hotels have all been great experiences in themselves.

I don’t think I can go back to ‘cruising’ again and intend to go on ‘expeditions’ instead!”

It’s certainly not easy today to find a great Holiday Cruise feeling inundated with so much choice and information. This all changed the moment we called and spoke to Peter Heathcock at where2Travel. I promise you, within 10 minutes Peter had us feeling confident, comfortable and booked without hesitation. The best way to say how Peter made us feel, was, he first listened, and really cared and his expertise just flowed so naturally. Peter also mentioned there was another similar room, so I immediately called a friend and she then called Peter. She too was so impressed with Peter’s manner of sharing that she also made a booking. Both of us were in Peter’s office the next day feeling so grateful sitting with our very own Travel Designer. Let me say that again…… our very own Travel Designer. Peter’s patience and attention to detail, going above and beyond, decades of experience, generous spirit of the heart working smoothly and calmly providing outstanding client service. And we know once we take our cruise, we will write another top-end review because all Peter wants now is for us to have the best Holiday Cruise ever…..and we absolutely will……thank you, Peter.

If you can imagine what discovery of these tombs, temples and artefacts must have meant to the archaeologists concerned, after in some cases 3000 years, then the fact that we are lucky enough to be able to visit them, is a privilege indeed.

Kate's strengths are endless! Her customer service is superb, we have always felt our needs are understood, and Kate makes every effort to give us guidance towards our travel goals. Even when we have cancelled planned trips, she has been supportive and able to guide us into something more suitable. She is extremely knowledgable about travel destinations, and has her finger on the pulse. Nothing is too much trouble. Kate has been our agent for over 12 years, from a walk in visit to her shopfront, where we were lucky enough to be greeted by Kate, and from there our relationship began. She has managed us through a couple of emergencies, in a calm and practical way, and we know she is always there if we need her.We cannot recommend her highly enough. - John and Carole

Kym has a personal touch, and takes the time to find out what you want from your trip, and give you tips and advice on how to make sure your trip is really memorable. It really takes the hassle out of planning your trip when you have your own personal travel "google" who can point you in the right direction and avoid getting swayed by false paid endorsements you often find on travel websites. Kym helped us plan our cruise to NZ, got us a great cabin centrally located, yet quiet enough. She recommended shore trips and provided some great advice on preparing for the cruise. Once we got aboard we knew what to expect and were ready for our big adventure. I would highly recommend consulting Kym before your next big trip. - Jacqui Butcher

I have booked many trips through Kym both locally and international and business and personal. Kym is amazing with work with and is so knowledgeable and professional. Kym really makes it so much easier than trying to organise it all yourself and provides so many great suggestions. Highly recommend! - Jo Tyler

Sarah is an amazing travel agent.. We have been using her services for over 18 years.. We have booked many family holidays, from USA to Europe to business working trips and she also helped my mum on her first cruise this year!! She had many appointments with my elderly mum and she was lovely and helped every step of the way - even when the luggage went missing at Sydney Airport! You will not get a better advocate for travel and she can deal with all aspects from business late minute changes to elderly family holidays !! Thanks for all your help with all our trips Sarah xx ~ Cinzia

Alotau was the first stop on our P&O PNG cruise. It is a larger town in the Milne Bay Province at the Eastern end of the PNG mainland. The town overlooks Sanderson Harbour.

Ruth arranged us the most unbelievable and easy 10 day luxury travel driving trip in the North Island of New Zealand. We were met at the airport with an itinerary and driving directions and for 10 days and we literally just had followed the plan which was perfectly formulate for our family with 2 young kids. Everything from the activities to the timing and even the directions made this an easy holiday and maximised our time. Ruth even arranged for all the booking of all activities and gave us vouchers so we didn't have to book any entry passes or even arrange times for tours. And all the hotels were great. I can honestly say we saved many hours before and during the holiday doing research and got to see more than we could imagine. Thanks Ruth!!!

"As everyone will have no doubt heard or read, travelling overseas in 2020 has been difficult to say the least. Unfortunately we went through every ex-pat's worst nightmare, news came through of a critically ill relative in Ireland, and I was forced to make the difficult decision to leave my wife and kids in Australia during the peak of Melbourne's second wave in August. The level of customer service and attention to detail shown by Chris at Emerald Travel in booking the trip was not only excellent, her work has had a profound positive impact on all our family, both here and in Ireland, and will stay with us forever. We will forever be indebted to Chris, and we look forward to booking all our future trips home with Emerald Travel. Go raibh míle, míle maith agat!"

“Having been recommended Chris and the team at Emerald Travel by a friend, I used them recently to arrange an emergency trip back to the UK. Rules were changing on a daily basis but even during this very stressful time, Chris managed to ensure that I got to the UK and and back again, even when it looked impossible. I highly recommend Emerald Travel and will definitely use again! Thanks Chris!”

"The beauty of the Emerald Isle and it's people will stay with me forever. Just a note to thank all the team at Emerald Travel and Tourism Ireland for helping to make our journey to Ireland so magical. It really was a trip of a lifetime. The beauty of the Emerald Isle and it's people will stay with me forever. From the history and charm that Dublin had to share and the quaint magic of Kildare, to the breathtaking scenery of the Wild Atlantic Way, there was so much beauty at every turn, I am already looking forward to my return."

"Outstanding service for group travel. We have used Emerald Travel on numerous occasions for our work conferences. Whether it be international or domestic the service from Emerald Travel and Debbie in particular has been flawless. Their knowledge and recommendations of the places we have travelled to has been excellent. Organising 30 + people is not an easy task and Debbie and Chris have always been so patient and happy to make changes and accommodate us whenever needed. Our staff love receiving their personalised travel wallets from Emerald Travel, organising us right down to the little suitcase address tags."

The PERFECT Melbourne Itinerary for 4 to 7 Days | Travel Guide

There’s a reason that the Australian city of Melbourne held onto the mantle of the “World’s Most Liveable City” for so many years in a row, and this Melbourne itinerary has got it all covered.

In a short amount of time, you can be transported from one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Australia to some of the best coastlines. This Melbourne travel itinerary will go over everything you need to know and do to experience the best that this incredible Aussie destination has to offer.

The capital of the south-eastern Australian state of Victoria, the appeal of Melbourne doesn’t seem to be losing any steam. Each year, the city welcomes 12 million domestic and international visitors and is rapidly overtaking Sydney, Australia as a must-see Australian city. Whether you are spending 4 days in Melbourne or up to a week (or even more!), it’s a place you won’t want to leave in a hurry.

It’s one of my personal favorite cities in the world, and I’m always looking for a way to get back!

Melbourne Itinerary Overview

I’ve visited Melbourne on a couple of occasions now, and every time I visit I find myself thinking how much I would love to live there. It’s a city that will steal your heart and (despite its unpredictable weather), delivers the best food and coffee in the country and has a strange way of keeping you in its grasp for much longer than you ever thought.

There are so many incredible things to do to keep you busy during your time here that one week in Melbourne won’t ever feel like it’s enough.

I put together this Melbourne 7-day itinerary, but it’s also a helpful destination guide for if you only have 2 days, 4 days, or 6 days in the city – I know you’ll get some great ideas!

My 7-day Melbourne itinerary covers all of the major landmarks and day trip options that are highly recommended and even includes some insider tips that I picked up while there. These include the best places to eat, drink, and party!

I’ve also included some other helpful Melbourne travel tips to ensure your visit is a breeze!

What are the best things to do in Melbourne?

My Melbourne travel guide goes deep into all of the weird and wonderful things to do in the Victorian capital, but here’s a quick breakdown of what’s included.

Eat up big in Melbourne’s famous laneway cafes and immerse yourself in the city’s hipster vibe.
Sip on Melbourne’s world-famous coffee – it’s truly the best!
Get involved in the sporting action that the city is renowned for.
Shop up a storm at premier retailers across Melbourne.
Win big at Crown Casino, one of the country’s best entertainment complexes.
Travel down the coast to the majestic Great Ocean Road or into the mountains of the Dandenong Ranges.
Cuddle up with cute Australian animals at Melbourne Zoo or Werribee Open Range Zoo.
Enjoy the sunshine and take a dip at one of Melbourne’s many picturesque beaches.

Plus much more! Keep scrolling for an in-depth look at these Melbourne activities!

Where should I stay in Melbourne?

Melbourne is a cultural melting pot with distinctly different neighborhood aesthetics, reminiscent of eternal world favorites London and Paris. A far-reaching metropolis that is ever-expanding as more and more people lay roots here, Melbourne accommodation has something for everyone.

Here are just a few of my recommended picks of where to stay on your Melbourne itinerary.

Booking.com is always my favorite way of booking travel accommodation, and Melbourne is such a fantastic city to have your apartment to get a sense of local life. There are countless incredible apartments available all across the city and often work out cheaper than booking a hotel room!

Brand New Apartment With Balcony, Gym, and Sauna (Located in Richmond, one of the coolest inner-city suburbs)
Incredible 3-Bed Home in The Heart of St Kilda (St Kilda – right near the beach and an amazing bar scene!)
The Marker Apartments Melbourne (Right in the heart of the action in the Melbourne CBD!)

Which Melbourne hotel should I stay at?

What if you want to stay at a hotel while enjoying a week in Melbourne? I have some incredible recommendations for that stay style too.

Park Hyatt Melbourne – One of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at while exploring Melbourne. Great location, food, customer service, and overall amazing experience. While it’s on the luxury side of things, it’s absolutely worth it!

Selina Central Melbourne – If you’re looking to save a bit of money, then there’s no better place to stay than the iconic Selina Brand, which is known around the world for their amazing hostels and communities. It’s the BETS location right opposite the iconic Flinders Street Station in the heart of Melbourne, and

How many days should I spend in Melbourne?

Trying to decide how long to spend in Melbourne isn’t an easy choice. On the one hand, a visit to the city can be very expensive; but on the other, it’s a widespread city and needs more than just a few days to be fully experienced.

That’s why I created this guide. Technically, a 4-day Melbourne Itinerary would be enough, but I also stretched the itinerary below to 7 days, which gives you more time to explore. I would say between 4 and 7 days is ideal.

The answer to this question will be based on your preferences and available time for your trip in Australia, but make sure you start every morning with a cup of delicious Melbourne coffee or two!

What is the best time to visit Melbourne?

Now that you’ve figured out how long you want to stay, it’s time to decide when should you visit Melbourne! While the summer season is between December and March and these months are more expensive than others, I’d recommend coming here during the shoulder seasons between March and May (autumn) and September and November (spring).

During these two periods, the temperature is mild enough for you to enjoy some of this week-long Melbourne itinerary on foot, and it also won’t hurt your wallet too much.

If you’re heading to Melbourne on a budget, head down during the low season between June and August. This is winter in Melbourne, but winters here aren’t as cold as winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and the sun often comes out! Winter in Melbourne is the cheapest time to visit the city, but you’ll have to be content with the somewhat chilly weather and occasional rainfall. But this is also a great time to visit for winter lovers as you can go ice skating and skiing just outside the city, amongst other activities!

How do I get around Melbourne?

Melbourne is famous for having one of the most extensive and well-serviced public transport networks in Australia, and getting around the city is relatively easy. Either way, there’s always a friendly local to ask for directions! It is Australia, after all.

First things first. To use Melbourne public transport you need a Myki card, which is an easy-to-use tap-on/tap-off card, just like other world cities have in place. The card itself is cheap and sold at most premium stations, and you just top it up with money as needed. Myki covers not just Melbourne City but regional Victoria as well, and only recently, the government has made travelling across Melbourne or into the countryside even cheaper, with a capped per-day rate regardless of how far you travel on Myki. How cool is that!

Melbourne public transport options

Melbourne has a detailed rail network, which services not just the CBD (including the underground portion known as “The Loop”), but the outer suburbs and beyond too. They also have a ton of bus lines that criss-cross the city, and they have one little other things that sets them apart from the rest of Australia… trams! Melbourne’s famous tram system is smooth and streamlined and services the inner city and city fringe, passing through some of the coolest and most sought-after suburbs. One of the best things about Melbourne trams? The city also offers a “Free Tram Zone”, which means you don’t have to pay to cruise on Melbourne trams within the city centre! In addition, Melbourne has a handy “Night Network”, which runs all-night train, bus and tram services on weekends. This is fantastic if you’re planning a big weekend hitting Melbourne’s many bars and clubs!

Public Transport Victoria is your one-stop site for all Melbourne public transport timetables, routes, fare estimates and any other information you may need.

Getting started on public transport in Victoria

Other ways to get around Melbourne

If you’re eager to get where you’re going without trying to make sense of a Melbourne public transport map, the city is saturated by ride share options, including Uber Melbourne and Lyft, which can be a fair bit less expensive than Melbourne’s 13 CABS , which can cost a pretty penny, especially at peak periods or on holidays. There’s ferries that service the seaside locales of the city, and you can even rent a Lime Bike , an electric bike share service offered by the City of Melbourne. Just scan the QR code on a bike through the Lime or Uber app, and away you go!

Finally, if you want to have the freedom of coming and going where you want, when you want, you can easily hire a car in Melbourne. Hertz and Budget are major car rental companies available across Melbourne, and offer flexible pick-up and drop-off locations and times. Uber now offers a cost-effective carshare service as well!

You’ll have zero issue getting around Melbourne, thanks to its extensive public transport service and other travel offerings. The city is so well covered that getting from A to B is a breeze.

Melbourne Itinerary Breakdown:

Okay, I’ve rambled enough. It’s now time to get into the best itinerary Melbourne has to offer! Keep reading to learn more, but here’s a great starting point to get a basic idea of how to make the most of your time here!

Day 2: Sporting Tours & A Culture In Spades
Day 3: World-Class Shopping & High Rolling
Day 4: Day Trip To The Coast – Or The Mountains!
Day 5: Seaside Fun In St Kilda

Melbourne Itinerary Day 1: Laneway Eateries & All The Coffee

If you’ve traveled from abroad, the long flight to Melbourne might have left you feeling a little jetlagged. Take this opportunity to decompress and fuel up your energy levels with the coffee that Melbourne is world famous for. During your Melbourne trip, you’ll likely be enjoying many great coffees. Make sure to order an Aussie icon, the flat white.

Melbourne is famous for its artistic, often grungy laneways, and these hip walkways are packed with some of the best cafes and eateries the city has to offer. Centre Place is a standout. Even if you are only doing a Melbourne 4-day itinerary, this is one of the must-visits.

Where is the best coffee in Melbourne?

My top five recommendations for central Melbourne cafes or coffee shops that serve up a roast you will want to write home about are…

Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar – “Pellegrini’s is all about character, honest Italian fare and coffee. In fact, it is said (by Pellegrini’s themselves) that the first espresso machine to arrive in Melbourne was delivered here in 1954 – opening the gates to a city-wide obsession.”

Proud Mary – “We take great pride in supporting and representing coffee producers and communities. We visit our producers each year and venture into their farms, homes and families. This is a relationship. We discover who they are, what motivates them and how we can support one another. Through this tangible form, we generate mutual understanding and appreciation. These are the true rock stars of coffee, the story starts with the producer.”

Axil Coffee Roasters – “Our aim has always been simple; to source, roast and produce the best cup of coffee. We have a passionate and enthusiastic team who travel the globe to find the best specialty coffee available. We are continuously building relationships with coffee producers to ensure we are getting the highest quality.”

Dukes Coffee Roasters – “We are an Australian specialty coffee roasting company whose focus is the craft of carefully roasting the best coffees in the world using innovative and methodic roasting practices. We are committed to bringing the best selection of exceptionally grown, amazing tasting, and in-season specialty coffees to cafes and consumers in Australia.”

Auction Rooms – “We believe in quality, detail, great food, and good vibes. Combine that with a backdrop that will take your breath away and we are well on the way to hosting the most memorable of events for you.”

Where should I eat in Melbourne?

After inflight “food” from hell, I’m sure you’ve got a raging appetite too, and you’ve touched down in the right city to satisfy any palate. Melbourne has been a cultural melting pot of international influences since its earliest days, and that has spilled over into not only coffee, but food as well. Culinary delights can be found on every corner of this beautiful city. But tonight, I recommend heading straight for the center of epic Asian food in Melbourne, Chinatown! Melbourne’s Chinatown is located in the heart of the CBD.

Once you’ve found your way there, make a beeline for the locally-loved Shanghai Dumpling House . This rickety old building is always heaving with visitors and locals filling up on their share of pork dumplings, Shanghai fried noodles, and Chinese broccoli. You won’t regret it.

“Looking for a “cheap & cheerful”? Tight budgets are never a problem here, with meals from around $10, served with complimentary Chinese tea.

Melbourne Itinerary Day 2: Sporting Tours & A Culture In Spades

Today you’re hopefully feeling fresher and with endless energy to make the most of your time in this vibrant city tackling this 4-day Melbourne itinerary. You’ve sampled some gold-star food and coffee, but now it’s time for sports lovers to get excited.

Melbourne is often referred to as the “sporting capital of Australia” – and for good reason. A year-round sporting schedule sees globally-recognized events hit town, with cricket, AFL (Australian Football or “footy”), and tennis being the main players that locals can’t get enough of.

The MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) runs tours of the holy grail of Aussie cricket, where you’ll get to walk on the very turf legends of the game have played on. You can also enjoy a tour of the various rooms, including player changing rooms.

If tennis is more your style and you don’t miss a minute of the Australian Open Grand Slam each year, you’ll have a blast on the Australian Open Tour, which takes you around the major arenas of the tournament, including Rod Laver Arena. There’s a range of Melbourne Park tours available, where you’ll be treated like a top seed yourself.

Melbourne Itinerary Day 3: World-Class Shopping & High Rolling

Day three in Melbourne has to be spent blowing some cold hard cash. After all, it’s just another reason visitors flock here throughout the year. Melbourne is a shopper’s paradise, with a long list of shopping centers, laneways, and city streets selling all the wares you could ever dream of.

Chadstone Shopping Centre referred to as “The Fashion Capital”, is located in suburban Melbourne, approximately 20 minutes from the city center. It is the biggest shopping center in Australia. A free shuttle bus service for tourists runs to and from Melbourne Central to Chadstone each hour, so there’s no reason not to check it out while you visit Melbourne.

If you’re looking for other ideal shopping locations and love authentic markets, The QV Market and South Melbourne Market are other great options in Melbourne. If you happen to be in Melbourne on Sunday morning, get down to the hipster paradise of the Camberwell Market , on the city centre fringe bright and early and find a one-off treasure. It’s a huge flea market and wildly popular, and there’s hot jam donut and coffee stands to fuel you, if that tempts you. It tempts me!

Other top Melbourne shopping spots include DFO South Wharf for heavily discounted bargains and the famous Bourke Street Mall smack bang in the center of the city.

Now that you’ve picked up a knockout outfit on your Melbourne shopping free, wear it somewhere deserving tonight and head to Crown Casino , located on Southbank. This huge, glittering casino runs alongside the Yarra River, and you can’t miss the riverside fire display each night. Inside, try your hand at blackjack or attempt to talk your way into the VIP high rollers area.

On your way home, if you’ve enjoyed a few drinks (or “bevvies”, as the Aussie say) you definitely need a good meal to put some pep in your step. Head over to one of Melbourne’s only 24-hour eateries, Stalactites , on Lonsdale Street. This Greek restaurant is a dining institution, and they won’t judge you for eating a souvlaki at 6am (that’s a Greek-style Aussie gyros). My kind of place!

Melbourne Itinerary Day 4: Day Trip To The Coast – Or The Mountains!

You’ve spent a few days exploring the incredible city limits of Melbourne, so now is the perfect time to pack your bag and head off on a day trip to experience a little of what Greater Melbourne has to offer.

Melbourne has so many doable day trips that it’s hard to pick the best, but the iconic Great Ocean Road has to be ticked off any bucket list.

Drive Along The Majestic Great Ocean Road

Whether you’re renting a car and doing it yourself, or taking advantage of the endless number of tour companies that run trips down this stunning slice of Aussie coastline, the Great Ocean Road is really deserving of a few days if you have it to spare.

Starting on the outskirts of Geelong, approximately 40 minutes from Melbourne CBD, this long and winding coastal road takes you through an array of gorgeous Victorian towns with crashing ocean views. Don’t miss world-famous surfing and swimming destinations like Bells Beach, Lorne, Torquay, Apollo Bay, Port Campbell, and Port Fairy.

Like every other visitor who has ever found themselves on the Great Ocean Road, you have to stop off at the natural formation that is the 12 Apostles , and take a snap to upload to the socials and make everyone back home green with envy. To do the entire Great Ocean Road right down to the Twelve Apostles and Port Fairy and back again, you’ll need about 10 hours at an absolute minimum. That’s taking into consideration stopping off at major lookouts and for a bite to eat along the way. It’s 275 km one way, after all.

For more information, check out this awesome Great Ocean Road Trip Itinerary for everything you need to know! Looking for other outdoor activities but closer to the city? Head down to the Mornington Peninsula or stick around the city centre and wander through the lush landscape that is the Royal Botanic Gardens .

Victoria, Australia. Breath-taking Great Ocean Road.

Immerse Yourself In The Dandenong Ranges

If you’d choose the mountains over the beach any day of the week, another popular day trip that’s a lot more manageable time-wise than the Great Ocean Road is the Dandenong Ranges, a breathtaking natural landscape and less than an hour from the city.

This mountain range is located to the east of Melbourne, with their peak, Mount Dandenong, topping the range. The Dandenong Range are full of charming small towns, gardens, restaurants, cafes, hotels, and hikes. The 1000 Steps (official name the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk ) is an uphill trek that is absolutely packed with visitors most days but worth it to say you made it! It’s a serious test of your fitness, but you can go at any pace you want.

While you’re touring around the Ranges, enjoy a ride on the Victorian institution, Puffing Billy . This historic steam train winds its way from Belgrave to Gembrook through lush Australian bush.

Dandenong Ranges by Drone - Victoria, Australia

If you still have the energy upon your return to Melbourne, head to inner-city Carlton – specifically Lygon Street. This is a street name everyone in Melbourne knows – for a lot of reasons. Not only is it the unofficial home of Italian influence in Melbourne, but it serves up some of the best Italian food you’ll get your hands on in Australia. Melbourne’s answer to “Little Italy” is also a location where a lot of the well-documented Gangland Wars of the 1990s and 2000s took place. Culturally enriched, Lygon is where it’s at.

With that, you’d have been about done with what to do in Melbourne for 4 days, but I have a few more ways to spend days 5 to 7 in the city, if you’re sticking around. I’d recommend it!

Melbourne Itinerary Day 5: Seaside Fun In St Kilda

You’re still here! Awesome. That means that you’re planning on spending a little more time in the city of Melbourne. Great choice! 5 days in Melbourne gives you an extra day to explore.

After a day like yesterday, that no doubt involved a lot of walking (did you manage the 1000 Steps?), your fifth day in beautiful Melbourne is going to be a little slower, with lots of time allocated for R&R. If you’ve come to Melbourne during spring or summer, you’re in luck, as heading to the beach here is a popular pastime that you should reserve some time for.

Head down to iconic St Kilda, a beachside suburb of Melbourne a short distance from the city. You can get there from the CBD on one of the city’s iconic trams and tick that off your list as well.

The St Kilda Esplanade stretches along the coast, from Fitzroy Street, a hub for eating and partying, to Acland Street , where achingly trendy bars and pubs exist alongside the landmark amusement park, Luna Park .

If you are lucky enough to visit St Kilda on a Sunday, the Esplanade Market stretches the length of the road and overlooks the sea, selling everything you could imagine. Other than that, you can visit the South Melbourne Market just up the road, which opens between Wednesday and Sunday with traders ranging from food stalls to florists.

Take a dip in Port Philip Bay, soak up some of that (really strong) Aussie sun, walk along St Kilda Pier, and visit the penguins. About five minutes from St Kilda Beach is Brighton Beach, which I recommend for a photo op in front of its unique Bathing Boxes. From a ginger to you, I recommend packing some sunscreen for your day on the beach.

Back to St Kilda, the area is filled to the brim with incredible bars and clubs, and a night out here is like no other. If it’s a summer night, there’s a unique hippy vibe to it that’s indescribable.

What are the best bars in St Kilda, Melbourne?

After a sunny day on the beach or jumping off St Kilda Pier, it’s time to enjoy a refreshing Aussie ale at one of the burb’s best bars and live music venues, which the neighborhood is positively packed with. A few St Kilda bars I recommend are…

The Vineyard
The Esplanade Hotel (“The Espy”)
The Local Taphouse
The Prince of Wales Hotel

If your day/night out in St Kilda gets particularly messy, head back to your hotel via Chapel Street in Windsor and experience the grungiest, dirtiest and potentially the most fun time of your life at Revolver . With tons of dark rooms pumping everything from hip-hop to electronic and techno, it’s a night you won’t forget. Or may actually, forget. I can speak to that.

ST KILDA AND PORT MELBOURNE TOUR AUSTRALIA

Melbourne Itinerary Day 6: Hang out with Australian furry friends

No trip to Melbourne, or Australia as a whole, is complete without a visit with some of the country’s native animals. And no, I don’t mean those animals that are popular for terrorizing Australians. I mean those cute, fluffy, and friendly critters. Your friends expect a picture of you cuddling a koala, so make it happen.

Which Melbourne zoos should I visit?

Luckily for those visiting Melbourne, there are a number of zoos and sanctuaries you can get to that are a stone’s throw from the city. Melbourne Zoo , probably the most heavily trafficked, is a short train ride from the CBD and is home to over 5,000 Aussie and international animals. If checking out some of Australia’s (often bizarre-looking) furry inhabitants is on your agenda, head to the koala, kangaroo, platypus, Tasmanian Devil, and wombat enclosures.

Werribee Open Range Zoo is slightly further afield but can be reached by car in about 40 minutes. A more interactive, natural environment than Melbourne Zoo, Werribee Zoo lets you get up close and personal with some majestic beasts in a safari-style habitat. You can even do a “Slumber Safari”, where you sleep amongst the lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) under the stars in a luxury camp.

Finally, Healesville Sanctuary , nestled the picturesque Yarra Valley and just an hour from Melbourne, is another natural bush haven for native wildlife. Wandering around Healesville Sanctuary is a joy, as the location has conservation and care for the animals foremost in its mind.

Hot tip: A day at these wildlife parks involves a lot of walking, so wear sensible footwear.

Melbourne Itinerary Day 7: Explore hipster inner-city hangouts & Night Tour

It’s your final day in Melbourne, and I bet you’ve had an absolute blast and are devastated (“devo”, to Aussie) to leave. Don’t worry, I’ve got a final treat in store for you to cap off your trip. Get your skinny jeans and your fedora on because the most hipster suburbs of Melbourne await you.

Exploding in popularity in recent decades, the urban, inner-city hubs of Fitzroy, Brunswick, and Northcote have transformed themselves from some of the least-coveted suburbs to topping the list of the most in-demand real estate in the city. The hippest of Melbourne’s cool crowd either live in or flock to these neighborhoods to be seen at the unique bars, clubs, thrift stores and cafes that cram the streets.

Melbourne's most iconic neighbourhoods | Fitzroy & Collingwood

What are the coolest suburbs in Melbourne?

In trendy inner-city Fitzroy, I recommend The Rum Diary for a well-earnt drink or Naked for Satan for a wild night out with a superior view of the Melbourne skyline. Always buzzing, Brunswick is packed with bars, coffee shops, and unique shopping along Sydney Road, so pick up a strong espresso at warehouse cafe Lux Foundry and rub shoulders with the in-crowd.

For a few bevvies, don’t miss Howler . Northcote is a suburb close to Melbourne CBD that is so damn hip it makes you instantly feel inferior. The entire city knows the institution, Northcote Social Club , a popular venue for regular live entertainment, gigs, and a great outdoor deck where you can smash some of the best eats and drinks in Melbourne.

While you’re exploring the inner-city suburbs of Melbourne, take a leaf out of the local’s book and be sure to spend some time wandering around the many “op shops” (thrift stores, as we Americans say) and vintage stores. You are sure to pick up a one-off treasure that will remind you fondly of your time in Melbourne.

Where can I see art in Melbourne?

After spending a couple of hours in the inner-city, Melbourne’s famous street art won’t go unnoticed. Its famous laneways are often heaving with budding photographers, taking snaps of its street art. For the best street art in Melbourne, head to AC/DC Lane (yep!), Caledonian Lane, Hosier Lane and Degraves St, just for starters.

If you’re in the mood for taking in some classic art, be sure to pop into the National Gallery of Victoria . One of Australia’s best museums, the NGV is home to thousands of pieces of both Australian and foreign art, and regularly host exciting events or nighttime shindigs.

What’s a fun Melbourne night tour to do?

Tonight, do something a little different and sign up for a spooky nighttime Melbourne tour. There’s a range of tours that takes you on foot through the darkened streets of this awesome city, telling you twisted, scary stories of Melbourne of the past and the ghosts that lurk down its eerie laneways. Or head to the eerie Old Melbourne Gaol for a frighteningly good time on the “ Hangman’s Night Tour “.

Melbourne Itinerary Tours and Experiences

Tackling Melbourne on your own is pretty easy, but I definitely recommend using tours to see more of the city with a local guide. There are a number of you can look at during this Melbourne 1 week itinerary, including the following:

From Melbourne: Phillip Island Penguin Parade Eco Tour : “Experience the magic of Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park on a bus tour from Melbourne. Enjoy views at Cape Woolamai prior to visiting the world-famous Penguin Parade on Phillip Island.”
Melbourne: Complete City Walking Tour : “Join your tour guide for a walk through Australia’s culture capital and learn what makes this city great and so much more.”
Melbourne: Hidden Alleyways, Ghosts and Best Instagram Spots : “Travel back to 19th-century Melbourne on a 1.5-hour ghost tour of the most haunted and Instagrammed locations. Discover hidden lanes, historic buildings, and spooks that still linger on the city streets.”

And there you have it.

My tips for the best week-long Melbourne tour itinerary . I hope you find it as diverse and enjoyable as this world-class city.

Don’t forget to purchase travel insurance!

Whether you are heading to Melbourne for just a few days or embarking on a lengthy trip around Australia, travel insurance is absolutely essential. Have you seen some of the crazy animals they have Down Under, or indeed, how expensive some things can be in Australia?

Getting sick or having items stolen while traveling is rare, but when it does happen, it can be an absolute nightmare. Having insurance (which is essential for visas in some countries) will give you the peace of mind that if anything terrible does happen, you are covered.

I highly recommend HeyMondo due to their extensive range of cover for all situations and trip lengths, their fair pricing, and their handy app, which allows you to not only manage any claims within the app but also access free assistance online, so you don’t need to rack up an expensive phone bill while abroad!

So, whether you need a single trip cover or an affordable annual cover for multiple trips worldwide, be sure to buy your travel insurance before you travel and relax during your trip, knowing that HeyMondo has your back. Nowadays I would never travel without insurance again, especially after hearing so many (expensive and dangerous) horror stories from other travelers I’ve met!

Still planning your trip? Get a no-obligation travel insurance quote now, so you have an idea of how much extra to budget for your vacation.

Planning a trip to Australia?

I’ve got so much love for this country, and I think everyone needs to visit down under at least once in their life. I actually lived and worked in Sydney for a year, and I miss it so damn much. I’ve written a lot about Australia, so check out some of my other top articles!

suggesting shopping….seriously? who goes to melbourne to do shopping? no comment…

Everyone in Australia would go to Melbourne to shop, I reckon. It’s considered to be the prime shopping destination in the country and was the first place to have Direct Factory Outlets, years and years ago. Now there’s plenty of boutique stores selling all sorts of interesting things.

Hi, great site and awesome insights. Very helpful to get an overview before I book the tickets :) I am planning for a 10-12 day vacation in australia from India this August. Is it a good time to visit? I would like to cover the best, most in a little relaxed mode with medium budget to spend. Travelling with husband and 2 kids under 10 years of age. Any tips, itinerary options are welcome! PS: I am a photographer and would appreciate any specific photography spots/times.

I’d definite;y make sure you do the Great Ocean Road for a few days! It’s a must for photographers! :-)

The Park Hyatt was way out of my league. But i stayed there as a treat to myself at the end of a business trip.

Hey ! thanks for such a great post.and many interesting point are cover in this blog. again thanks for a posting a interesting artical…

Thank you very much for all your beautiful pictures and ideas!! We are going to visit Australia next month. You give/ gave us a lot of inspiration!!!

Thanks so much for the article.Really thank you! Keep writing. What’s your favorite thing to do in Melbourne?

Melbourne Travel Guide

Last Updated: May 3, 2023

A view of the towering skyline in the lively city of Melbourne, Australia

The city has a European feel to it and is popular with backpackers and young travelers looking to enjoy its laid-back vibe.

With plenty of culture, activities, art exhibitions, and live music, you could easily spend over a week here and not regret it. Heck, you might end up like so many other travelers and never leave! You definitely don’t want to rush your visit here. There’s a lot to see and do, and plenty of amazing places to eat at.

This travel guide to Melbourne will help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most of your time here.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Melbourne

A greeny park in Melbourne, Australia with the cityscape in the distant background on a sunny day

1. Admire the 12 Apostles

One of the most iconic sights in the country, the 12 Apostles are a series of limestone rocks just off the Great Ocean Road along the coast of Australia (the route is an Australian National Heritage-listed section of highway with stunning coastal views). You’ll likely want to make this a multi-day visit as the Apostles are 275 kilometers outside the city and are best seen on a drive along the coast. However, if you’re pressed for time you can take a full-day tour along the Great Ocean Road for just 135 AUD.

2. See the Fitzroy Gardens

Fitzroy Gardens is one of Melbourne’s most historic and beautiful gardens. Created in 1848 (the land here was originally a swamp), this 26-hectare (64-acre) Victorian-era garden is meant to look like the English gardens the early settlers left behind. It’s a lovely place to stroll around and relax with a book, with plenty of tree-lined paths and areas to sit and relax with a book. If you visit on a Saturday, you can join a free guided walking tour at 10am starting from the visitor center.

3. Visit the Royal Botanic Gardens

The Royal Botanic Gardens spans over 34 hectares (86 acres) and features thousands of flowers, shrubs, and trees from across the country and around the world (there are over 50,000 plants here). Hanging out here and wandering around is one of my favorite activities in Melbourne. There is a cafe called The Terrace where you can grab a coffee while you stroll the gardens. There are free guided walks too. Admission is free.

4. Watch the sunset from the beach

Head to St. Kilda to watch the sunset. It’s a beautiful, wide beach, but the water is a little too cold for me. However, it faces due west, so you get some stellar sunsets before you head out for a night on the town. If you’re around the pier and get lucky, you may even spot a penguin (there’s a small colony of them here). Just remember not to feed to touch them!

5. Explore Queen Victoria Market

This outdoor market is a mix of food sellers and knick-knack vendors — think flea market meets food market. During the week, the food hall is the main draw, but the weekend offerings are bigger, as sellers fill up the outdoor vending space. Opened in 1878, it’s a heritage landmark that sees over 10 million people each year. When you’re in the food hall, be sure to get some free wine samples from Swords Wines.

Other Things to See and Do in Melbourne

1. enjoy the cafés.

The café culture in this city is part of its soul. Everyone here loves to have coffee or tea and a snack while doing some work or chatting in some arty café. Don’t miss doing this either. You can take the café tour with Café Culture Walk or Melbourne Coffee Lovers Walking Tour to learn more about why Melbournians love their cafés so much and then spend an afternoon with a good book at your new favorite spot.

2. Indulge in a wine tour

Wine tours are super popular in this region. The Mornington Peninsula in the outer suburbs of Melbourne is a world-famous wine-producing region. Located 45 minutes from the city, it’s home to over 50 wineries. There are a lot of day trips available to the Yarra Valley too (which is where most tours take you). If you don’t have your own car or don’t feel like spending the night in the area, full-day wine tours from Melbourne start around 150 AUD per person.

3. Party in St. Kilda

Melbourne’s famous nightlife area is home to inexpensive restaurants, bars, and clubs — it’s the place to see and be seen. If you want to find Melbourne’s wild side, this is where it will be. Base Melbourne is one of my favorite places to go party if you want to hang out with other travelers — and a few locals! Their downstairs bar is popular and has cheap drinks.

4. Moonlight Cinema in the Park

During the summer, there are nightly movies (most of them are major Hollywood features) in the Royal Botanic Gardens. You can bring your own food and drinks (including alcohol) and have a cozy picnic while watching some great movies. Think of it like going to the drive-in but without the car. Just make sure to check the weather in advance and to bring a blanket to sit on as well as a sweater (it can get a little chilly sometimes). Tickets start at 19 AUD but you may be able to find a deal on Groupon to save a few dollars.

5. Flinders Street Station

Opened in 1854, Flinders Street Station is a major landmark and popular meeting place in central Melbourne. The station features Victorian architecture and large clock faces. It was the busiest railway station in the world in the 1920s and is said to currently be the busiest suburban railway station in the Southern Hemisphere.

6. Hang out in Federation Square

Right along the route of the free City Circle train and across the street from Flinders Street Station lies Federation Square. Opened in 1968, this open square spans around 3 hectares (8 acres) and serves up stellar people-watching. I like to have lunch here and just watch the city go by. Below the square on the river are also a number of restaurants and outdoor bars. In the summer, there are often all kinds of different events here as well.

7. Visit the National Gallery of Victoria

Located near Federation Square, the National Gallery of Australia is the largest, oldest, and most-visited art museum in the country (over 3 million people visit each year). It’s home to over 75,000 works including modern and contemporary art, sculptures, paintings, and works from indigenous artists. You can see pretty much everything in a couple of hours. It’s one of the best activities in the city. Admission is free though temporary exhibits may have an admission charge.

8. See the State Library of Victoria

The State Library of Victoria is a historic institution that sees 8 million visitors a year. Originally built in 1856, the library has grown into an event space that’s a source of pride for city residents. Come here before it opens and you’ll see a queue of people ready to pounce on the open desks. The famous central rotunda with its octagonal shape, original dark wood furniture, and book-lined walls is definitely something not to miss. There are a number of free events and tours of the library to teach you more about its history and striking architecture.

9. Wander the Como House and Gardens

Over 160 years old, this regal estate blends a mix of classic Italianate architecture and Australian regency. It’s considered the best of the historic houses in the city and offers a rare glimpse at the luxurious and opulent life of high society in 19th century Australia. Guided tours are available for 15 AUD if you want to learn more about this beautiful mansion and its history. Admission to the gardens is free.

10. Visit the Immigration Museum

Founded in 1998, The Immigration Museum is located in the Old Customs House and features exhibitions about Australia’s immigration history. Europeans started flocking to the country in 1788, bringing with them their own cultures that eventually swept the island and displaced the Aboriginal peoples who called the island home for over 50,000 years. Admission is 15 AUD.

11. See the Melbourne Museum

The Melbourne Museum showcases Australian social history, indigenous cultures, science, and the environment. The highlight of the museum, for me, was the extensive Bunjilaka Aboriginal Culture Center, which highlights the culture, art, and history of the Aboriginal peoples. They also have a children’s section that’s great for anyone traveling with kids. Admission is 15 AUD.

12. Plan a day trip to Phillip Island

Located a few hours from the city, Phillip Island is a weekend hot spot for locals looking to enjoy some beach time. The island is renowned for the nightly penguin parade (when thousands of penguins return from the sea to nest), its koala sanctuary, and the huge seal colony that lives offshore. The island can be visited as a day trip, but due to infrequent buses, I would recommend spending at least a night here.

13. Enjoy the festivals

Melbourne is a major festival city, with many events throughout the year: Comedy Festival, Aussie Rules football match, Spring Racing Carnival in November, the Melbourne Cup (part of a weeklong racing festival), and many more. Stop by the local tourism office (or ask your hotel/hostel staff) to see what’s going on during your visit!

14. Hang out at the markets

There are countless markets spread across Melbourne, from food truck markets to farmer’s markets, and from beach markets to flea markets. They’re fun places to hang out for a couple of hours, enjoying the local life and people-watching.

15. Take a street art tour

I love the tours run by graffiti artists from Blender Studios. It’s pricey at 75 AUD for a 2.5 to 3-hour tour, but the price helps support local artists and includes drinks. The tour takes you through the streets and alleyways of the Melbourne CBD or Fitzroy. You’ll learn about the art scene in the city and develop a deeper appreciation for why Melbourne attracts so many artists.

Melbourne Travel Costs

Hostel prices – A bed in a dorm room with 6-10 beds costs 25-48 AUD. Private rooms start at 70 AUD though most are closer to 105 AUD per night. Free Wi-Fi is standard and most include free breakfast as well.

For those traveling with a tent, there are a few holiday parks outside the city with basic unpowered tent plots costing 20-60 AUD per night. For more rustic camping, there are a few free parks outside the city if you want to stay further afield (they aren’t close to the city but they are free).

Budget hotel prices – Budget hotels start at 90 AUD per night for a double room. Expect the standard amenities like Wi-Fi, TV, and AC. Prices are higher in the downtown core.

Airbnb is also available around the city with private rooms starting at 30 AUD per night, though they average closer to 120 AUD. For entire homes and apartments, expect to pay at least 85 AUD (though prices are usually double that if not booked early).

Food – Food in Australia is diverse, with each region having its own specialities. You’ll be able to find all types of food in this city. It’s got one of the best food scenes in all of Australia!

You can easily find pizza parlors, noodle bars, and cafes where you can eat for 15-20 AUD. Melbourne is probably the best place to eat cheaply in Australia, especially if you like Asian food. The sushi and Chinese food is out of this world. However, expect to pay at least 20-25 AUD for most sit-down restaurants (without a drink).

There are many cool districts only a train or tram ride from town. Footscray (only 3 train stops away from Southern Cross) is on the water (perfect for walks/picnics) and the latest place to be for food (especially Vietnamese) and entertainment, as well as a market to get cheap food supplies.

Or take a tram up Sydney Road Brunswick and to Coburg for Middle Eastern food. Head to Grazeland in Spotswood for a night out eating & drinking with entertainment with many craft breweries for a great atmosphere and good beers. Fitzroy’s Brunswick St hosts a major strip of restaurants, bars, and pubs.

Grab and go places cost around 10 AUD for sandwiches while fast food (think McDonald’s) costs around 12 AUD for a combo meal. Beer costs around 10 AUD (6 AUD during happy hour), a glass of wine is 10-15 AUD, a cocktail is 18-20 AUD, and a latte or cappuccino costs 5 AUD.

A week’s worth of food is 60-80 AUD for basic groceries like pasta, rice, produce, and some fish or meat.

Backpacking Melbourne Suggested Budgets

On a backpacker budget, you can visit Melbourne for 70 AUD per day. On this budget, you’ll be staying in hostel dorms, cooking all of your meals, limiting your drinking, using public transportation to get around, and sticking to mostly free activities like free walking tours. If you plan on drinking, add another 10-20 AUD to your daily budget.

On a mid-range budget of 205 AUD per day, you can stay in a private hostel room or Airbnb, eat out for most meals, enjoy a few drinks, take the occasional taxi, and do some paid activities like going to the Moonlight Cinema or the museums.

On a “luxury” budget of 430 AUD per day or more, you can stay in a hotel, eat out for every meal, take a day tour into the countryside to do some wine tasting, rent a vehicle to get around, go out drinking, and do as many other tours and activities as you want! This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get some idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages – some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in AUD.

Melbourne Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Melbourne can eat up your budget fast as restaurants, accommodation, and drinks are expensive. But there are plenty of ways to save money here! Here are some tips to help you save when you visit:

Drink goon (box wine) – Goon is an infamous staple on the Australian backpacker trail. This cheap box of wine is the best way to drink, get a buzz, and save a lot of money at the same time.
Cook often – Eating out in Melbourne is not cheap. The best way to reduce your food cost is to cook as many meals as possible at your hostel. Book a hostel with a kitchen to save money.
Book tours as a package – Australia has a lot of fun activities and exciting tours that will eat into any budget. If you plan on doing any tours while you’re here, booking activities together through a hostel or tour agency can get you a discount and save you tons of money.
Work for your room – If you’re on a budget and looking to save some cash, many hostels offer travelers the opportunity to work for their accommodation. In exchange for a few hours a day of cleaning, you get a free bed to sleep in. Commitments vary but most hostels ask that you stay for at least a week.
Get cheap tickets – Check out Half Tix to get cheap deals on live shows and theatre.
Stay with a local – Accommodation in Melbourne is pricey. If you plan ahead, you can find a fun Couchsurfing host for your visit. This way, you not only have a free place to stay but you’ll have a local host that can share their insider tips and advice!
Use the free City Circle tram – This free hop-on/hop-off tram has stops near most of the city’s biggest tourist attractions. Pick up a free map at a tourist info center, and get on your way!
Take a free walking tour – I’m Free Walking Tours offers a handful of free walking tours to help you get oriented to Melbourne, and learn all about its sights and history!
Fill up your water bottle – The tap water is clean and safe to drink in Melbourne. Saving a few bucks for each bottle of water will reduce your daily spending (and help the environment). LifeStraw makes reusable bottles with built-in filters so you can ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Melbourne

There’s a lot of great budget accommodation in Melbourne. Here are some of my suggested places to stay:

Base St Kilda
Selina St Kilda Melbourne
The Nunnery

How to Get Around Melbourne

People walking around and taking the tram in downtown Melbourne, Australia

Public transportation – Melbourne’s bus system is safe and reliable and travels between all major hub (shopping centres, attractions, etc.). The fare is determined by how many zones you’ll be travelling in, starting at 3 AUD. A day-pass is 10 AUD. You need a myki card (or the mobile app) to get around.

The bus to and from the airport with Skybus costs 19.75 AUD one-way or 32 AUD return.

Melbourne has a Free Tram Zone in the CBD (Central Business District), stretching from Queen Victoria Market to Docklands, Flinders Street Station, Federation Square, and Spring Street. The City Circle Tram is also free and stops at almost all of the city’s historic sites. You don’t need a myki if you’re using the free system.

Bike rentals – Biking is a great way to explore Melbourne as there are over 135 kilometers (84 miles) of bicycle trails here. You can rent a bike for 25 AUD per day.

Taxis – Taxis are expensive here, starting at 5 AUD per ride and going up almost 2 AUD per kilometer. Skip them if you can!

Ridesharing – Uber is available here.

When to Go to Melbourne

Melbourne is a great spot year-round and there’s always so much to do. I prefer visiting March-May or September-October. These are the shoulder seasons and temperatures are much more comfortable during this time (with the highest being about 24°C/75°F). It’s also less touristy.

The summer months from December to February are the busiest in Melbourne, as it’s Australia’s summer and many tourists flock here to escape the cold. The temperatures during this time are usually in the high 20s°C (high 70s°F), but they’ve been known to climb a lot higher.

Winter in Melbourne (June-August) can be quite cold and dreary, especially in comparison to Sydney and Brisbane. But you’ll certainly get the best travel deals and hotel rates during these months, so it might be worth your time anyway — especially if you’re most interested in the cafe and foodie scene.

How to Stay Safe in Melbourne

Melbourne is an incredibly safe place to backpack and travel — even if you’re traveling solo and even as a solo female traveler. People are quite friendly and helpful and you’re unlikely to get into trouble.

As Melbourne is a big city, be on alert for pickpockets and keep your valuables secure at all times (as in any other big city), especially while around tourist landmarks or when taking crowded public transportation.

If you’re visiting Melbourne during the summer months, be prepared for high temperatures. Wear sunscreen, cover yourself, and drink plenty of water. Most incidents tend to occur because visitors are not used to the country’s unique climate.

If you’re venturing out of the city, be mindful of wildlife, especially snakes and spiders. If you’re bitten, seek immediate care.

Solo female travelers generally feel safe here. However, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone at night intoxicated, etc.). For more information, check out one of the many solo female travel blogs on the web that can help more!

If you’re worried about travel scams, you can read about common travel scams to avoid here . There aren’t many in Australia though.

If you experience an emergency, dial 000 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID. Forward your itinerary along to loved ones so they’ll know where you are.

The most important piece of safety advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. You can use the widget below to find the policy right for you:

Melbourne Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources

These are my favorite companies to use when I travel. They consistently have the best deals, offer world-class customer service and great value, and overall, are better than their competitors. They are the companies I use the most and are always the starting point in my search for travel deals.

Skyscanner – Skyscanner is my favorite flight search engine. They search small websites and budget airlines that larger search sites tend to miss. They are hands down the number one place to start.
Hostelworld – This is the best hostel accommodation site out there with the largest inventory, best search interface, and widest availability.
Booking.com – The best all around booking site that constantly provides the cheapest and lowest rates. They have the widest selection of budget accommodation. In all my tests, they’ve always had the cheapest rates out of all the booking websites.
Get Your Guide – Get Your Guide is a huge online marketplace for tours and excursions. They have tons of tour options available in cities all around the world, including everything from cooking classes, walking tours, street art lessons, and more!
Rome2Rio – This website allows you to see how to get from point A to point B the best and cheapest way possible. Just enter your departure and arrival destinations and it will give you all the bus, train, plane, or boat routes that can get you there as well as how much they cost. It’s one of the best transportation websites out there!
SafetyWing – Safety Wing offers convenient and affordable plans tailored to digital nomads and long-term travelers. They have cheap monthly plans, great customer service, and an easy-to-use claims process that makes it perfect for those on the road.
LifeStraw – My go-to company for reusable water bottles with built-in filters so you can ensure your drinking water is always clean and safe.
Unbound Merino – They make lightweight, durable, easy-to-clean travel clothing.
Top Travel Credit Cards – Points are the best way to cut down travel expenses. Here’s my favorite point earning credit cards so you can get free travel!
