It's um - FREE - plus trams on this service run frequently as they ferry locals and tourists around a rectangular loop of Melbourne's CBD. Do a whole lap and listen to the recorded commentary relating to landmarks and historic events as you roll past in an iconic 1920's tramcar. More

Although the free City Circle Tram is very crowded it's definitely worth trying when visiting Melbourne. Our tram driver was very friendly and provided great customer service. More

I really enjoyed taking the tram. We took it from the CBD over to the outlet malls near the harbour. You get to view the city along the way and it didn't cost us a cent. More
