Melbourne - Sightseeing Tours

At least two or three days should be allowed for seeing the sights of Melbourne and surroundings. A convenient way of seeing the principal sights is to take the double-decker City Explorer Bus which leaves Flinders Street Station (Swanston Street side) hourly. Passengers can get off at any one of the seven stops and later continue with the next bus. The ticket also gives reductions on admission charges to museums and the Zoo. There is also the City Circle Tram, a free service with old-time tramcars, introduced in 1994, which runs round the city center every 10 minutes, taking in the main sights. Brochures, city plans and information of all kinds can be obtained from the Melbourne Tourist Information Centre, 230 Collins Street, which also provides information about Victoria.
