Weekend In Melbourne Australia

Published - 09 January 2018, Tuesday

Getting out of Singapore can be one of the most refreshing ways to chill, especially if you have a long wekend to enjoy a short trip to Melbourne, the capiital of Victoria in Australia.

The flight time is about 7 hours so it's not out of the question to do a three night stay to get the most out of this wonderful city.  Be warned. Taxis fares in Melbourne are frighfully expensive and Uber rides come in at about 40 percent cheaper than a standard taxi so opt for Uber when getting around town.

Head to Flinders Street station and pick yourself up a MYKI travel card. This card allows you to hop on and off of trams, trains and buses across the metropolitan transport system. It can also get very cold in Melbourne. It is well-known that you can often experience four seasons in one day in this multi-cultural city.

Share you Melbourne travel tops right here so other expats can get the most out of this city.

Thank you for the tip on the taxi situation. We are heading to Melbourne on Friday and transport was on my list. Definitely sounds like Uber is best?
