The best way to get to Manchester International Airport is by catching the train. Trains from Manchester Piccadilly Station in the city centre take 20min to reach the airport. The next best option would be to call a taxi, which will cost you a bit more but get you to the airport in under 30 min. You can also take a National Express Bus from stops all over the city. When you arrive in Melbourne, you'll also have an extensive transportation system available to use at the airport. Melbourne International Airport is the main airport in Melbourne and has a transport platform in the arrivals section of the airport where you can catch the Skybus to Melbourne City Centre. Skybus runs to Melbourne Southern Cross Station to catch trains to your next destination, or take a tram to your hotel in the city centre. Taxis are also available at the airport.

Which cities can you get to from Melbourne International Airport?

The journey from the airport takes around 45min if you take the Skybus to Melbourne City. If you arrive in Melbourne and need to travel to other cities in the country, the advisable way to do this would be to use Melbourne's public transport from Southern Cross Station. This is Melbourne's central station where you can catch trains to various metropolitan suburbs and also long-distance VLine trains to rural hubs like Geelong, Bairnsdale and Ballarat. The inner suburbs of Melbourne are connected by an extensive tram network which you can hop on and hop off when you have a transport card, which you can pick up from train station ticket desks and convenience stores throughout the city. To get to the outer suburbs, you can take a Metro train from one of the stations in the city centre. Geelong is a city on the coast, a little over an hour by train to the west of Melbourne. Dandenong is a metropolitan hub, around an hour away by train in the densely populated south-eastern suburbs. If you're headed south to the popular Mornington Peninsula, take the train to Frankston and transfer to the Hastings line. We recommend that you hire a car if you're not planning to stay in the city centre or inner suburbs, as it's the best way to get to the outer suburbs and explore the natural landscapes.
