(Sorry Sydney!) The city has an incredible food scene, tons of incredible parks, a cafe culture, an incredible art scene, and just is way more laid back than other major cities in Australia. There&#8217;s just something special about this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With plenty of culture, activities, art exhibitions, and live music, you could easily spend over a week here. (Heck, you might end up like so many other travelers and never leave!)  Spend some much time as you can here. There&#8217;s a lot to see and do and plenty of amazing places to eat at. Plus, you can do a lot of day trips from the city. You definitely don&#8217;t want to rush your visit here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This travel guide to Melbourne will help you plan your trip, save money, and maximize your time

Melbourne<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/melbourneguide1.jpeg\" alt=\"A greeny park in Melbourne, Australia with the cityscape in the distant background on a sunny day\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Admire the 12 Apostles<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;re pressed for time you can take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/melbourne-l202\/great-ocean-road-day-tour-from-melbourne-t11856\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">full-day tour along the Great Ocean Road<\/a>. Prices start around 105 AUD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. See the Fitzroy Gardens<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Fitzroy Gardens is one of Melbourne\u2019s 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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Visit the Royal Botanic Gardens<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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. They have a number of extra experiences you can add to your visit, like an Aboriginal Heritage Walk, Forest Therapy, and The Secret Life of Birds. These change from season to season so check their website to see what&#8217;s happening during your visit. Prices start at 10 AUD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Watch the sunset from the beach<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to St. Kilda to watch the sunset. It\u2019s a beautiful, wide beach that faces due west, so you get some stellar sunsets before you head out for a night on the town. If you\u2019re around the pier and get lucky, you may even spot a penguin (there&#8217;s a small colony of them here). Just remember not to feed to touch them! The pier dates back to the 1800s, and it\u2019s the perfect spot for a sunset stroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Explore Queen Victoria Market<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This outdoor market is a mix of food sellers and knick-knack vendors \u2014 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&#8217;s a heritage landmark that sees over 10 million people each year. When you\u2019re in the food hall, be sure to get some free wine samples from Swords Wines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4516_45deed-0b > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4516_45deed-0b > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4516_45deed-0b > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4516_45deed-0b > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4516_45deed-0b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4516_45deed-0b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4516_45deed-0b alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"seedo\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4516_90a4e5-71\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d671ee0 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4516_820f92-be, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4516_820f92-be[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4516_820f92-be\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4516_820f92-be mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4516_820f92-be[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4516_820f92-be\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading4516_820f92-be wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4516_820f92-be\">Other Things to See and Do in Melbourne<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Enjoy the caf\u00e9s<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The caf\u00e9 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 caf\u00e9. Don\u2019t miss doing this either. You can take the caf\u00e9 tour with <a href=\"https:\/\/hiddensecretstours.com\/tour\/cafe-culture-walk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caf\u00e9 Culture Walk<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/melbourne-central-l16063\/melbourne-coffee-lovers-walk-t73067\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Melbourne Coffee Lovers Walking Tour<\/a> to learn more about why Melbournians love their caf\u00e9s so much and then spend an afternoon with a good book at your new favorite spot. Terror Twilight, Auction Rooms, and Little Rogue are just a few of the many incredible spots around the city to enjoy a coffee and snack break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Indulge in a wine tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s 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\u2019t have your own car or don\u2019t feel like spending the night in the area, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/melbourne-l202\/yarra-valley-wine-experience-t60158\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">full-day wine tours<\/a> from Melbourne start around 155 AUD per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Party in St. Kilda<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Melbourne\u2019s famous nightlife area is home to inexpensive restaurants, bars, and clubs \u2014 it\u2019s the place to see and be seen. If you want to find Melbourne\u2019s 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 \u2014 and a few locals! Their downstairs bar is popular and has cheap drinks. Captain Baxter is right on the beach with floor-to-ceiling windows and often has free live music to enjoy. Dog\u2019s Bar is an excellent wine bar with French European cafe seating on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Moonlight Cinema in the Park<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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 bring a blanket to sit on as well as a sweater (it can get a little chilly sometimes). Tickets start at 25 AUD but you may be able to find a deal on Groupon to save a few dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Flinders Street Station<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Opened in 1854, Flinders Street Station is a major landmark and popular meeting place in central Melbourne. The station features Victorian architecture with its arched entryway, green copper dome, and large clock faces. It was the busiest railway station in the world in the 1920s, and the upstairs was built to have a library.&nbsp; It is said to be the busiest suburban railway station in the Southern Hemisphere, with 110,000 passengers and 1,500 trains passing through every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Hang out in Federation Square<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Visit the National Gallery of Victoria<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s 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\u2019s one of the best activities in the city. Admission is free though temporary exhibits may have an admission charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. See the State Library of Victoria<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s a source of pride for city residents. Come here before it opens and you\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Wander the Como House and Gardens<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 160 years old, this regal estate blends a mix of classic Italianate architecture and Australian regency. It\u2019s 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 25 AUD if you want to learn more about this beautiful mansion and its history. Admission to the gardens is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Visit the Immigration Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1998, The Immigration Museum is located in the Old Customs House and features exhibitions about Australia\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. See the Melbourne Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s section that\u2019s great for anyone traveling with kids. Admission is 15 AUD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Plan a day trip to Phillip Island<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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 or going on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/melbourne-l202\/from-melbourne-phillip-island-penguin-parade-express-t457598\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">full-day tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Enjoy the festivals<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>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. Moomba is a free community festival that happens in March. There are parades, fireworks, and live music. You can watch the Birdman Rally where participants try to fly across the Yarra River without using anything mechanical. Stop by the local tourism office (or ask your hotel\/hostel staff) to see what&#8217;s going on during your visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Hang out at the markets<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are countless markets spread across Melbourne, from food truck markets to farmer\u2019s markets, and from beach markets to flea markets. They\u2019re fun places to hang out for a couple of hours, enjoying the local life and people-watching. Queen Victoria, South Melbourne, and Prahan are excellent places to pick up picnic supplies or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/melbourne-l202\/south-melbourne-market-foodie-tour-t821964\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take a food tour<\/a>. Grazeland is a newer market that brings together incredible food experiences and live entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Take a street art tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the tours run by graffiti artists from Blender Studios. It\u2019s 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&#8217;ll learn about the art scene in the city and develop a deeper appreciation for why Melbourne attracts so many artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Take a Koorie Heritage Cultural Walk<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Koorie Heritage Trust is an organization that gives visitors a chance to experience Aboriginal culture in the city. The Birraarung Wilam (River Camp) Walk is a free tour that takes you through the Aboriginal art installations around Federation Square and down to the River Camp. You\u2019ll learn about the culture and practicies of the Kulin Nation from one of the Cultural Experience Guides and discover the significance of the lands around Melbourne to their people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4516_2d1fe6-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4516_2d1fe6-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4516_2d1fe6-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4516_2d1fe6-43 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4516_2d1fe6-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4516_2d1fe6-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4516_2d1fe6-43 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"safe\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4516_0d9d59-ec\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b68a4ab2 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4516_4554d7-be, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4516_4554d7-be[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4516_4554d7-be\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4516_4554d7-be mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4516_4554d7-be[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4516_4554d7-be\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading4516_4554d7-be wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4516_4554d7-be\">How to Stay Safe in Melbourne<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Melbourne is an incredibly safe place to backpack and travel \u2014 even if you&#8217;re traveling solo and even as a solo female traveler. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;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&#8217;s unique climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re venturing out of the city, be mindful of wildlife, especially snakes and spiders. If you\u2019re bitten, seek immediate care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re worried about travel scams, you can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid here<\/a> but there aren&#8217;t many in Australia so I wouldn&#8217;t stress too much about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 000 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;ll know where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I&#8217;ve had to use it many times in the past.

But there are plenty of ways to save money here! Here are some tips to help you save when you visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fill up your water bottle<\/strong> &#8211; 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). <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestraw.xyibsh.net\/B0AY14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifeStraw<\/a> makes reusable bottles with built-in filters so you can ensure your water is always clean and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Drink <em>goon<\/em> (box wine)<\/strong> &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cook often<\/strong> &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Redeem hotel points<\/strong> &#8211; You can sign up for hotel credit cards and use those points to pay for accommodations when you travel. You\u2019ll get 1-2 nights free with most cards when you sign up, which can save you a lot of money. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out this post<\/a> to learn the basics so you can start earning points now and have plenty by the time you leave home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get the Melbourne City Card<\/strong> &#8211; If you plan on visiting a lot of the big attractions, this pass can save your budget. It includes entrance into twelve different attractions like the Melbourne Zoo, the Melbourne Skydeck, a river cruise, the Arthur\u2019s Seat Eagle gondola, and more. You\u2019ll also get discounts on other tours, food, and drinks. You can get a 2-day pass for 209 AUD or a 3-day pass for 269 AUD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Book tours as a package<\/strong> &#8211; 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&#8217;re here, booking activities together through a hostel or tour agency can get you a discount and save you tons of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Work for your room<\/strong> &#8211; If you&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get a myki Pass<\/strong> &#8211; You can get a 7-day transit pass for 53 AUD that gives you unlimited travel between Zones 1 and 2. The pass can save a lot over paying 5.30 AUD for a single ride or 10.60 AUD for a one-day pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get cheap tickets<\/strong> &#8211; Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/halftixmelbourne.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Half Tix<\/a> to get cheap deals on live shows and theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; Accommodation in Melbourne is pricey.

This way, you not only have a free place to stay but you\u2019ll have a local host that can share their insider tips and advice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use the free City Circle tram<\/strong> &#8211; This free hop-on\/hop-off tram has stops near most of the city&#8217;s biggest tourist attractions.

The fare is determined by how many zones you&#8217;ll be traveling in. Single-rides cost between 3.30-5.30 AUD. A day-pass is 10.60 AUD for zones 1 and 2. You need a <em>myki<\/em> card (or the mobile app) to get around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bus to and from the airport with Skybus costs 23.90 AUD one-way or 40 AUD return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s historic sites. You don&#8217;t need a <em>myki<\/em> if you&#8217;re using the free system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bike rentals<\/strong> &#8211; 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 30 AUD per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxis<\/strong> &#8211; Taxis are expensive here, starting at 4.85 AUD per ride and going up to almost 2 AUD per kilometer. Skip them if you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ridesharing<\/strong> &#8211; Uber is available here and is often cheaper than taxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; You can find a small car to rent starting from about 40 AUD per day.

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\u00b0C\/75\u00b0F). It&#8217;s also less touristy. During both seasons, the evenings can be rather cool, with average lows between 8-13\u00b0C (46-55\u00b0F). You&#8217;re also likely to encounter rain during your visit so be sure to pack layers that will keep you warm and dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summer months from December to February are the busiest in Melbourne, as it&#8217;s Australia&#8217;s summer, and many tourists flock here to escape the cold. The temperatures during this time are usually in the high 20s\u00b0C (high 70s\u00b0F), but they&#8217;ve been known to climb a lot higher. However, evenings are still cool, with average lows between 11-15\u00b0C (52-58\u00b0F). Though this is the driest time of year, there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ll see some rain showers, so pack accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter in Melbourne (June-August) can be quite cold and dreary, especially in comparison to Sydney and Brisbane. Average temperatures fall between 6-14\u00b0C (44-57\u00b0F), and it&#8217;s also the rainiest time of year. But you&#8217;ll certainly get the best travel deals and hotel rates during these months, so it might be worth your time anyway \u2014 especially if you&#8217;re most interested in the cafe and foodie scene.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Melbourne Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.
