Hop On Hop Off

A Hop On Hop Off bus tour is one of the best and most flexible ways to explore the city of Melbourne.

These tours are a great way to see all of Melbourne’s highlights while learning about the city as you travel in comfort on a bus with commentary.

A Hop On Hop Off tour operates as a bus that travels past all of Melbourne’s most treasured attractions and landmarks. When you arrive at an attraction that you would like to explore, you hop off, take a look around and then head back to the bus stop to await the next bus.

These tours have many tour buses that travel around Melbourne, and so a bus will never be more than 40 minutes away.

Some of the attractions that the bus stops include Federation Square (Main Stop) , SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium, Eureka Skydeck 88, Crown Casino & Entertainment Complex, South Wharf/DFO, The District Docklands ( formerly Harbour Town) , Melbourne Star, Etihad Stadium, Queen Victoria Market, Royal Melbourne Zoo, Lygon Street Carlton, Melbourne Museum, IMAX, Chinatown, Cathedral Place, Fitzroy Gardens and the MCG.

The Hop On Hop Off ticket is valid for a full 24 hours, so you can use the bus as many times as you like during this period, however, please note that the buses operate between 9.30am until 5.30pm.

The main advantage of this tour is the absolute flexibility. You can craft your tour and only get off at sights that interest you. You will also learn about Melbourne as there is on board commentary in various languages.
