Melbourne is a thriving, bustling metropolis with an outstanding road and public transportation system. Showing extraordinary foresight, the city’s fathers decreed that main streets should be 30.1 metres (99 feet) wide. Their legacy
is a city of open tree-lined streetscapes that are easy to navigate and explore.

Today, Melbourne boasts one of the largest rail systems in the world and an integrated network of treasured trams and modern buses.

Public transport is clean, safe, efficient and affordable, and in a recent study, The Melbourne Convention Delegate Study, was rated by international delegates as a key feature of the Melbourne experience.

Taxis abound, and there are also free City Circle trams and tourist shuttle buses for delegates and visitors to explore
the central city and Docklands waterfront.

Consistently ranking as one of the world's best airports, Melbourne International Airport is open 24 hours, is curfew free
and is the gateway to Australia. With 450 direct international flights per week, Melbourne Airport is an easy 25 minute commute from the central business district, with just one traffic light between the airport and the new Melbourne Convention Centre, and it's freeway all the way!
