Melbourne is a city of neighbourhoods, events and long weekends that turn into longer stays, which is why aparthotels and serviced apartments in Melbourne are so widely used. A kitchen lets you make the most of the Queen Victoria Market, a living area gives families and groups room during the Australian Open or the Grand Prix, and laundry facilities help on business trips that run beyond a week.

Getting around Melbourne

Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) is about 22 km north-west of the city and has no rail link. The SkyBus City Express runs between the airport and the city around the clock except for a few early-morning hours, with departures every 10 minutes at busy times and no need to book a specific service. Avalon Airport, about 50 km south-west of the CBD, is served mainly by budget airlines.

Melbourne's tram network is described as the largest operational urban tram network in the world. Travel inside the Free Tram Zone across the CBD and Docklands is free; beyond it you touch on and off with a myki card. Trains link the centre with the suburbs, and the CBD itself is easy to walk.

Living in Melbourne for longer

The Queen Victoria Market, which spans two city blocks and is billed as the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere, is the obvious place for a weekly shop. It sits at the edge of the Free Tram Zone.

Pack layers: the city's weather is famous for changing several times in one day. If you are relocating for work, read our guide to serviced apartments for relocation before committing to a longer stay.

When to visit Melbourne

Summers are warm, with average highs around 26°C, and winters are cool, ranging from near freezing at night to the high teens by day. Changeable weather is common in every season, so plan indoor options.

January brings the Australian Open tennis, March and April the Formula One Grand Prix and the Comedy Festival, August the Film Festival, September the AFL Grand Final, and the first Tuesday in November the Melbourne Cup. Book well ahead for these dates.

The CBD is laid out on a grid that takes under half an hour to walk end to end, and the Free Tram Zone makes short hops free, so a central base keeps things simple. Inner suburbs such as Fitzroy or St Kilda offer more local character a short tram ride away. Compare Melbourne with Sydney if you are planning a wider trip around Australia.
