As you travel around you pass by some of the Melbourne city great tourist attractions.

One exciting aspect of the journey is the Circle Tram travels through the developing Docklands Waterfront Precinct an exciting, modern and growing area.

Here you can indulge in some of Melbourne's finest cuisine, sit with a delicious coffee and watch the passing traffic or take advantage of the terrific prices and shop till you drop.

On board this great little ride you are being guided by an Audio Announcer who elaborates on the attractions, the recommended disembarkation stops and other features that may interest the traveller.

I personally think is one of Melbourne's best Free Star Tours and you are able to hook up with Melbourne's great rail service at either....

  • Flinders Street Station
  • This is Australia's busiest suburban rail terminus and home to the world recognized Clocks, a meeting place for Tourists and Locals under the Clocks

  • Southern Cross Station
  • Formally known as Spencer Street Station, this has been rebuilt into the spectacular world class terminus for Country, Interstate and Suburban Train Travellers.

    # By the way if you are thinking of staying in this beautiful city you can find a great selection of Melbourne Hotels here at Booking.com, my travel partner.

    You are able to ride the Heritage Tram either clockwise in an easterly direction or anticlockwise in a westerly direction.

    The trams run every 12--15 minutes and the full loop journey can take up to 50 minutes.
