✈️ Getting there

MELMelbourne Airport (Tullamarine)
📍 23 km⏱ 40 min🚌 SkyBus🚕 Taxi🚌 Rideshare

The SkyBus express coach runs 24 hours to Southern Cross Station in the CBD for A$24 one-way (book online for A$22), taking about 30 minutes in normal traffic — note that Melbourne has no rail link to its airport yet, making SkyBus the only public transit option.

Tullamarine is a large, modern four-terminal airport 23km northwest of the CBD, serving as Australia's second-busiest international gateway — Qantas, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Cathay Pacific are major carriers, and the international terminal was significantly expanded with improved retail and dining before 2020.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Melbourne — beyond the tourist trail.

☕Order a magic (a double ristretto with 3/4 flat white milk) at Patricia Coffee Brewers on Little William Street — standing room only, no laptops, and one of the best coffee bars in a city that treats coffee as a religion.
🎨Walk Hosier Lane for street art on a weekday morning before tourists arrive — the curved laneway near Federation Square has wall-to-wall rotating murals, and the side alley (Rutledge Lane) is often even better. The art changes constantly.
🏏If there's a game on, buy a walk-up ticket to the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) on a Saturday AFL match day — the atmosphere inside Australia's largest stadium for a Melbourne derby is one of sport's great crowd experiences, tickets from A$35.
🌿Take the morning tram to the Royal Botanic Gardens and specifically find the Indigenous Plant Walk — a winding path through native species with interpretive plaques explaining how Wurundjeri people used each plant. Quieter and more interesting than the main lawns.
🍷Day trip to the Yarra Valley wineries 45 minutes east — specifically De Bortoli (their Noble One dessert wine is benchmark) and Healesville Sanctuary, where you can see wild platypuses and echidnas in a bush setting without the Zoo experience.
