How can I plan Melbourne in May with an older parent who walks slowly?

Ask shopping centres and attractions about wheelchair hire, seating and accessible toilets. Leave a taxi or rideshare option for the return when energy is low.

Pack removable layers and check the forecast shortly before travel. A light warm jacket and comfortable shoes give more flexibility than a suitcase of heavy winter clothing.

Plan one main area per day and check the step-free entrance and lift status for each venue. A short distance on a map can still involve stairs or a long station corridor.
