City Circle Tram (Route 35)
City Circle Tram
A free sightseeing tram that loops around the CBD. It uses retro W-class trams, with audio commentary along the way, and connects the main attractions.
The loop passes Flinders Street, Docklands, Parliament House and Princess Theatre, among others. A full loop takes about 50 minutes. You can hop on and off freely, and rides are free. Onboard, there is English-language historical commentary. The route passes stops near the Royal Exhibition Building and the Old Melbourne Gaol. The service runs roughly 10:00–18:00, with a tram about every 12 minutes, and it can get crowded during peak hours. The whole CBD is also a free tram zone, so you can transfer to regular routes.
