Melbourne Flight Tickets

Best Time to Visit

All year. The climate is temperate. Additionally, visitors from the Northern Hemisphere can escape their winters into the Australian summer, and vice versa.

Transport

Melbourne's public transport system provides transportation almost everywhere, but a myki card is required to travel (trams, trains - including local - and buses accept it.) Buy a myki Visit Value Pack to get started. For those who do not want to go outside the Central Business District, the free tram zone provides transportation from one end of the city to the other.

Weather

January is the hottest month with an average temperature of 10 ºC and July is the coldest month with an average temperature of 10 ºC.

Things to Know Before You Go

During school holidays such as New Year's Eve, hotels are more expensive and attractions can be crowded. And if you're not a sports fan, you should avoid visiting major sporting events (Australian Open Grand Slam in January, Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in March) as hotel prices will be high.
