Practical Tips
Getting around Melbourne is easy with its extensive public transport network of trams, trains, and buses; purchase a Myki card for travel, noting the Free Tram Zone within the CBD. Melbourne's weather is famously unpredictable, often described as 'four seasons in one day,' so dressing in layers is highly recommended year-round. Pack comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen (even on cloudy days), and potentially a rain jacket or umbrella. The currency is the Australian Dollar (AUD), and major credit cards are widely accepted; tipping is not customary but appreciated for excellent service (around 10%). English is the official language, though you'll encounter a diverse range of languages and unique Australian slang.
