Here’s how to get to Melbourne CBD through Skybus.

After emerging from the immigration and Customs inspection area, head to the terminal exit to your right.

Exit the terminal building until you see the SkyBus stop outside. The place is screaming with red Skybus signs; it’s impossible to miss it. You’ll know you’re at the best place when you see the electronic ticket kiosks and a ticket booth.

Purchase a ticket if you don’t have one yet. You can also purchase one online.

Fall in line and wait for your bus. Make sure you’re boarding the MELBOURNE CITY express if your hotel is in the CBD. note that there are separate buses for St. Kilda and Southbank/Docklands.

Board the bus. It’s a double decker. There are spots where you can store your suitcases on the lower deck. travel time: 30-45 minutes.

Get off at southern cross Station.

Make your way to the hotel.

The SkyBus bound for Melbourne CBD terminates at southern cross station on the edge of the district. If your hotel is nearby, you can just walk from the station. This is just one of the reasons why the southern cross area is the best place to stay in the city.

If your hotel is closer to central Station, here are your options.

FREE SkyBus link hotel Transfer. If you’re arriving between 6:30am and 7:30pm, you can avail of the complimentary transfer from southern cross station to a stop near your hotel. This is FREE-OF-CHARGE for those who took the SkyBus. It operates 7 days a week, 06:30 to 19:30. You can find the stop closest to your hotel here.

Tramvai. Tram is totally free within CBD. but because it’s your first day in the city, you might find the tram system to be a little confusing. It’s also not optimal if you have luggage in tow because many routes involve some walking too. I tried it on my first day and got lost. Haha.

Uber. less expensive than taxi. I have tried this once and I paid AUD 8.60 for the ride from my hotel near central to southern Cross.

Taxi. I was able to try this too. I paid AUD 10.6 from southern cross to Central.

Tren. The train runs from 5am-12mn, Monday to Thursday, and all night Fridays and weekends. Fare: AUD 4.40 (2-hour minimum fare).

BY PUBLIC BUS: The Cheap, long way

If you’re interested on taking this route, the first thing you ought to do is purchase a myki, an electronic reloadable smart card that is used in all public transportation services in Melbourne. cash isn’t accepted. but don’t worry, you’ll be able to use that card again when you explore the city. The card itself costs A$6, but you will need to top it up with much more credits. On top of the card fee, the fare to CBD is A$4.40.

Once you have a myki card, follow these directions:

Head to the terminal exit to your best after emerging from the immigration and Customs inspection area, .

Exit the terminal building and walk until you reach terminal 4 (Budget Terminal), where the public bus stop is located.
