Melbourne questions

Is four days enough for Melbourne?

Four days covers the main galleries, markets and laneways. Buy a myki card and plan tram routes ahead to move between areas without delays.

Do I need to book NGV tickets in advance?

Book NGV tickets online the day before for timed entry during peak periods. General admission stays free while special exhibitions require separate payment.

How do I get from the CBD to Fitzroy?

Catch tram 11 from Collins Street to Brunswick Street. The ride takes about 15 minutes, and trams in the city's Free Tram Zone cost nothing until you leave it.

When is Queen Victoria Market open?

It's closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. On other days it opens early, usually from 6 am, and closes mid-afternoon (later on Fridays, and 9 am to 4 pm on Sundays). Check the market's website before you go.
