Melbourne · Where to Stay in Melbourne

Should a short Melbourne stay be in the CBD or Southbank when walking is limited?

We have two or three nights after a road trip and want food and major sights within a manageable distance.

    Compare the evening restaurant walk from each candidate, not only the daytime sightseeing route.

    Choose by the exact hotel entrance and the sights you will visit most, then test the walking route and nearby tram stops. A central location is useful, but a 'one-kilometre' map radius can still involve tiring crossings.
