Melbourne was ranked “The World’s most liveable city” seven years in a row (2011-2017) and was only pipped into second place in 2018 by Vienna (EIU Liveability Index) so anytime is a great time to visit. But the Melbourne Cup Carnival in early November is a bonus that’s too good to miss if you can possibly get away.

Among the many delights of Melbourne are the trams. The Melbourne tramway network consists of 250 kilometres (160 miles) of double track, 493 trams, 24 routes, and 1,763 tram stops.
