The heritage City Circle Tram is a free public transport tram service provided by the City of Melbourne.

Both Local and Overseas Tourist are able to ride a piece of genuine heritage listed Australian history.

The "W" Class Trams, colored maroon and green, travel in a loop around the central business district of Melbourne taking in all the major attractions that the city has to offer. Get a close up view of all the city's forever changing districts.

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.

In this bustling and exciting area 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.

Whilst on board this great little ride you are being guided by an audio announcer who elaborates on the attractions that you are passing by as well as the recommended disembarkation stops and other features that may be of interest.

I personally think this is one of Melbourne's best free 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.
