City Circle Tram West Loop attractions
One of the best things to do in Melbourne to take in all the city's top attractions, is to ride on the FREE tourist No' 35 City Circle Tram.
This is a heritage listed, burgundy tram, that transports you around the city in either an easterly or westerly direction.
This ride is totally free and most times you will have a conductor on board who will be able to point out some of the best Melbourne attractions that the city has on offer.
You are now going to travel anticlockwise around the city, these are some of the points of interest you can find along the way.
Jump off at any time, go have a look at the attraction and its surrounding places of interest. Take lots of photos and then jump back on board the No' 35 when you want to continue your journey.
