Here, you can explore the laneways and street art in the CBD, relax on the beaches that line Port Phillip Bay, and even visit the little penguin colony in St Kilda. While exploring these central regions of the vast city, the trams are a fun way to get around. The Number 16 Tram will take you from Swanston Street in the CBD to St Kilda. Follow the coast of Port Phillip Bay south from St Kilda, and you’ll reach the Mornington Peninsula, where you can take a dip in the famous Peninsula Hot Springs. Head about an hour east to get to the Yarra Ranges National Park, famous for its world-class wineries. About an hour west, you’ll find Geelong, which is your gateway to Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road. Heading to the south of Geelong, you’ll find the beautiful coastal town of Torquay. Here, you can enjoy the surf, and if you love a good road trip, you may wish to head west to visit Anglesea, Warrnambool, and the other towns along the Great Ocean Road. While car hire is an excellent option for reaching these places, there are plenty of regional trains departing from Melbourne.
