Trams

Hop on the Free Tram Zone to cruise around the city center without spending a dime. Got your sights set outside the zone? Tap your myki card. 

Kindly note that Dwell is located outside the Free Tram Zone. 

Pro tip: If you’re new and feel like playing tourist, check out the City Circle Tram. It’s free, hop-on-hop-off, and gives you the best tour vibes. Trams roll every 7–10 mins in peak hours and chill at 20–30 mins off-peak. 

Top-Up Tip: Grab a myki card at the 7/11 convenience stores and load up $11—perfect for a day of city adventures.
