Hi guys,
Planning to go Melbourne next month but wanna get sum advice from u all.
1. Is it recommend to drive since will be first time there.
2. I saw people recommend Mercure Welcome Melbourne hotel at last post so if I'm going to drive, is carpark available at the building.
3. Basically I read that the shops close as early as 5pm over there so after 5pm mostly the street near the hotel will be quiet?
Thanks for ur advice 1st
Hi, here is the answer below:
1. Depends where you stay. If u stay at city and at free tram zone area, it is recommended to take public transport as it is convenient. Besides that, the parking is super duper expensive which price can be up to AUD 5 per hour. Rent a car and drive to outskirts if you planning to visit outskirts.
2. Perhaps you can enquire them as some hotels may charge parking for visitors.
3. Depends. Yes, most shops closed around 6pm. However, supermarkets like coles closed at 10pm. Bars and pubs closed around midnight.
