If you are planning to visit places surrounding Melbourne, hiring a car would (arguably) be the best mode of transport for you. For someone in a bit of a hurry, this gives an easy and fast access to places around Melbourne.

Planning to roam in the heart of Melbourne? Take a ride on the City Circle Tram. You’ll have the liberty to get on and off at any designated stop - ABSOLUTELY FREE! For those who want to see a ‘quixotic’ Melbourne, classic horse-and-carriage ride is the best option.
