When visiting Melbourne's city center, there's a super tourist-friendly perk: the "CBD Free Tram Zone."
As long as you ride the tram within the designated area, you don't need to swipe a card or buy a ticket; you can simply get on and off. This is incredibly convenient for first-time visitors to Melbourne.
🚋 什么是Free Tram Zone？
The Free Tram Zone is a free tram zone established by the Victorian government, covering the core area of Melbourne's CBD.
You can ride the tram for free as long as your pick-up and drop-off stations are within this area.
No Myki card required
No need to buy tickets in advance
Regardless of whether they are tourists or locals
Get on the bus, sit down, get off and go – it's that simple.
📍 免费区域大概在哪里？
The free zone mainly covers:
Flinders Street Train Station
Federation Square
Bourke Street Mall shopping area
Queen Victoria Market
Parliament House
Docklands, a coastal port area
Simply put, as long as you stay in the city center, most popular attractions are within the free admission zone.
The tram stop signs will clearly indicate "Free Tram Zone", and there will be voice prompts inside the tram to indicate when entering or leaving the free zone.
🗺️ 推荐这样用
✔ 从Flinders Street坐到维妈市场买伴手礼
✔ 从市区酒店坐到Docklands看海港夜景
✔ 在Bourke Street逛街累了，搭一站电车回酒店
Especially when it rains or it's windy in winter, taking the tram is much more comfortable than walking.
⚠️ 注意事项
1️⃣ 如果你从免费区坐到免费区外，就必须刷Myki卡
2️⃣ 免费区只限电车（Tram），不包括火车和公交车
3️⃣ 记得留意站牌提示，避免坐过站（有提示的）
✨ 为什么这个设计很贴心？
Melbourne is known as the "City of Trams" and has one of the most developed tram systems in the world.
The free zone was established to make it convenient for tourists and commuters in the city center.
This policy is really friendly for friends visiting Australia for the first time.
No need to research complicated ticket prices, and no need to worry about buying the wrong ticket.
在墨尔本CBD玩，电车就是你的免费观光车 🚋
Get on the bus when you get tired, and get off when you see a place you like.
If this is your first time visiting Melbourne, remember to bookmark this hidden perk.

If you see a vintage dark green tram in Melbourne's city center with "City Circle" written on the front, it's most likely tram number 35.
It not only offers free rides within the Free Tram Zone, but is also a sightseeing route specifically designed for tourists.
🌟 35路有什么特别？
✔ 复古外观，很适合拍照
✔ 围绕CBD一圈循环行驶
✔ 车上有英文语音讲解（介绍沿途建筑和历史）

Simply put, it's a "mobile city introducer".
📍 会经过哪些地方？
Tram route 35 runs around the outer ring of the city center, passing through:
Parliament House
Treasury Gardens
Docklands, a coastal port area

It basically circles the entire core area of the CBD.
🕒 运行方式
Unidirectional cyclic operation
Buses run approximately every 30 minutes (this may be adjusted on holidays).

Very flexible.
