Melbourne attractions near the metro
Which train station for every landmark, market, ground and beach — with the line, the walk and the honest last leg by tram.
See Melbourne by train
The train network is the fastest way into the heart of Melbourne — and from the City Loop stations the CBD Free Tram Zone and the free City Circle tram carry you the last block for nothing. Below you will find which station serves each attraction, which line it is on and how many minutes it is on foot. Where a landmark isn’t at a station door — like St Kilda Beach — we give you the honest walk or tram leg instead of pretending the train drops you there.
