Melbourne, day by day

Melbourne is laneways and coffee, a free art gallery behind a wall of water, a Victorian market, penguins at the end of a pier and the best-dressed suburbs in Australia. Start with three days that walk the city grid, the Southbank and the gardens, and Carlton and Fitzroy, with the free trams and the 2026 fare rules.

How this plan was made: Tripwoa's planner drafted the day order from real coordinates and typical visit times. Each stop was then reviewed, reordered where needed and rewritten with AI assistance. Walking distances are straight-line estimates, so allow a little extra time on real streets.
