Sydney to Melbourne: How to Get There? 4 Ways Compared
Transport Mode | Travel Time | Estimated Cost (AUD) | Best For |
~1.5 hours | $70 – $250+ | Speed. The fastest and easiest option for most travellers. | |
Train | ~11 hours | $80 – $130 | Slow travel. The countryside without the driving, and no need to watch the road. |
Bus | ~12–13 hours | $70 – $135 | Budget. The cheapest option, and an overnight service saves a night's accommodation. |
9 hours direct (Hume) / 3–5 days (coastal) | $200 – $300+ (fuel + car hire) | Adventure. For anyone who wants to explore Australia’s coastal towns and beaches. |
For most people, the easiest way to get to Melbourne from Sydney is to fly. It’s fast, and surprisingly good value once you’ve considered losing a day to travel on the road or rails. But life is meant to be lived, and a road trip from Sydney to Melbourne is the one I’d argue hardest for if you’ve got some extra time to play with, as you’ll discover plenty of beautiful spots along the way.

Flying from Sydney to Melbourne: The Fastest Way
The flight from Sydney to Melbourne takes about 1 hour 35 minutes. This is actually one of the busiest routes in the world, with about 60 or so departures a day to choose from, so you can leave when you like.
All flights from Sydney will depart from either Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 at Sydney Airport.
Which Airport in Melbourne Is Closer to the City?
For your arrival into Melbourne, there are actually two different airports: Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine (MEL) and Avalon Airport (AVV).
Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine - MEL) is the one you want. It's about 20 km from the centre and handles most flights. Avalon looks cheaper on paper, but it's 55 km out, so a bargain fare into AVV can lose its shine once you're paying to get into town.
How to Get to Sydney Airport from the City Centre?
Getting out to the Sydney Airport from the city centre is easy; unlike Melbourne, there's a train straight to the terminals.
Mode | Duration | Cost (AUD) | Best For |
Airport Link (train) | ~13 min | ~$19 – $23 | Speed. Runs from Central, bypasses traffic. |
Rideshare (Uber/Didi) | 20–30 min | $35 – $55 | Door to door. Splits well for 3 to 4 people. |
Taxi | 20–30 min | $45 – $60 | Convenience, no app needed. |
Public bus + train | 45–60 min | ~$4 – $6 | Budget. Avoids the airport station access fee, although there you'll have to transfer. |
How to Get to Melbourne City Centre from the Airport?
The best option from getting to the city centre from Melbourne Airport is the SkyBus. Melbourne, unfortunately, still doesn’t have a train to the airport.

Mode | Duration | Cost (AUD) | Best For |

Uber / Didi | 25–40 min | $55 – $75 | Door to door. Splits well for 2–3 people. |
Public transport | 60–90 min | ~$5.70 | Budget option, but you’ll need a Myki card and to transfer. |
Private transfer | 25–40 min | $90+ | Families or groups. A driver meets you, no fuss. |
How to Get to Melbourne from Sydney | Road Trip
There are two different routes you can take in the car from Sydney to Melbourne, each wildly different from one another.
Sydney to Melbourne on the Hume Highway
The quickest way from Sydney to Melbourne is to drive straight down the Hume Highway (M31), which is 878km long and roughly a 9-hour drive. I’ve done the drive many times (starting from my home in Canberra), and as far as long drives go in Australia, it’s nice and easy, with plenty of rest stops and service stations along the route for a break. And while there are some nice stretches, it’s not a route that will win a beauty contest.
I’ve always done it in one day, although that's coming to and from Canberra. My sister with her kids driving from Melbourne split the drive up with an overnight stay at Albury-Wodonga, a sensible option on the border between NSW and Victoria. I als
Sydney to Melbourne Coastal Drive
The other option is to drive along the east coast, which feels like a completely different world altogether. The Princes Highway (A1) and the Grand Pacific Drive run about 1,040 km down the New South Wales south coast and into Victoria. It's single lane each way for much of it, so not nearly as fast as driving along the Hume. But that’s the point, as you’ll probably want to stop at a few places along the way to explore. You could easily fill three to five days along this route, exploring a stunning stretch of Australian coast.
Heading south out of Sydney, your potential road trip could look something like this:
Sydney → Royal National Park → Sea Cliff Bridge (Grand Pacific Drive) → Wollongong → Kiama → Jervis Bay → Batemans Bay → Narooma → Merimbula & Eden (Sapphire Coast) → cross into Victoria → Lakes Entrance → Wilsons Promontory → Melbourne.
Five days is the sweet spot if you want the beaches and the odd national park without spending the whole time behind the wheel.
I did a section of the drive from Sydney to Batemans Bay a few years ago with a friend visiting from overseas, and we both loved it. Jervis Bay was a highlight, as was Kiama for its blowhole. I’ve also made plenty of stops at Lakes Entrance before, a nice little town to spend a night on the coast.

How to Get to Melbourne from Sydney by Train
Taking the train from Sydney to Melbourne is a comfortable experience, but not a high-speed journey by any means. It runs from Sydney's Central Station to Southern Cross in Melbourne in around 11 hours on average, twice a day, on a day service and an overnight one.
You get Economy and First Class seating, a buffet car, and sleeper cabins on the night train. The overnight service is the smart pick if you'd rather not lose a day, and it saves you a night's accommodation in either Sydney or Melbourne.
Australians are less than enthusiastic about their rail system, especially when compared to the high-speed options available in Europe and Asia. But as a visitor, it’s a nice choice if you want to watch the rural scenery unfold outside the window without the pressure of driving yourself. In my opinion, it’s also the best option if you want to get a sense of the scale of Australia.

How to Get to Melbourne from Sydney by Bus
If you're travelling Australia on a budget, getting the bus from Sydney to Melbourne is the way to go. It’s a favourite with backpackers who just want to move between cities and anyone happy to travel overnight to skip a hotel bill.
Sydney to Melbourne by Bus: Overview
Feature | Details |
Primary operator | Greyhound Australia (Firefly Express and FlixBus also run the route) |
Duration | 12 to 13.5 hours |
Estimated cost | $70 to $135 AUD (cheaper booked in advance) |
Departure point | Central Station coach terminal (Sydney CBD) |
Arrival point | Southern Cross Station (Melbourne CBD) |
Why Choose the Bus?
- It’s the cheapest option. Catching the bus is consistently the lowest fare, unless you get a really good deal on a flight. But even then, you’ll have to factor in the cost of travelling to and from the airports.
- You can save money on a hotel. There are buses that make the journey overnight. I’ve taken one, and found that I slept pretty well thanks to the comfortable seats designed for long-haul travel.
- Decent amenities. The buses nowadays will have Wi-Fi, USB charging at the seat, reclining seats and an onboard toilet.
- Leg stretches. Buses stop at regional hubs like Albury or Canberra, so you're not stuck in the seat the whole way. Always nice to be able to hop out, grab a drink, and stretch your legs before continuing.

The hotel's location is pretty good. The one-day tour I booked met right outside the Windsor Hotel, which was only a few minutes' walk away. Both Red Apple and Green Apple supermarkets are within walking distance, and Chinatown isn't far either, making evenings very lively. The hotel facilities are admittedly a bit old, but the hygiene is decent. Breakfast is just okay, but it's filling, and surprisingly, they even offered congee. When checking out, since I paid a cash deposit, I had to wait a while for them to inspect the room before I could get my money back and leave. After the room check, I realized I'd left a piece of clothing in the room. The staff brought it down for me, neatly folded and presented it with both hands, which I really appreciated!From€ 102

The hotel is a bit old, but its location is a big plus – super convenient for shopping! The bed was comfy and soft, and the in-room facilities were well-equipped. No one offered to help with luggage, and the hotel has two entrances, but the staff didn't tell me which one was easier for catching a ride. When I came back by taxi, they didn't open the door for me, but when my friends dropped me off, they were very enthusiastic, opened the car door, and greeted us!From€ 179

Located about 10 min walk away from convention center. The tram is just around the corner. Clean room. Comfortable bed and pillow. Limited channels on TV but OK... Breakfast was great and enough variety. Service was excellent. I arrived early in the morning and the staff allowed an early check in, my room was ready at about noon and they informed me via email. I left on a midnight flight, when I collected my luggage from the hotel at around 7pm, the staff Mr Ady suggested that I could take a shower on Level 5 gym before heading to the airport. Truly appreciate this suggestion as it has been a long day of work. Excellent service. Highly recommended.From€ 135

Overall, not a bad hotel. The location is very convenient; all major city attractions are within walking distance. Everything is clean, the reception/foyer areas are pleasant, and there's a cozy lounge in front of the cafe entrance where you can read a book or just pass the time if housekeeping is cleaning your room. The housekeepers are Chinese women, and there were no complaints about the cleaning. It was nice that they changed the bed linen every 2-3 days without us having to ask. The room is certainly very small, but it's perfectly fine for one person, especially if you're there for sightseeing rather than spending time in the room. The miniature window overlooks a wall with AC units and oddly only opened to a 15-centimeter gap at the bottom. Holes in the window screen (mine had a torn screen on this small window) would be a problem in the summer, but no bugs will fly in during a winter month. The room renovation is relatively recent. There's a nice backlight above the headboard. The duvet covers are the same as in Africa, by the way – two regular sheets on either side of the duvet. In the shower, it's inconvenient that there's no handheld showerhead, only an overhead rain shower. There are no toothbrushes with paste or hair conditioner, so keep that in mind. What is provided: shower gel, hairdryer, ironing board with iron, wall-mounted air conditioner, TV, refrigerator, kettle, and everything works perfectly. Bottled water isn't provided because there's no point: the water in Australia is very clean, and everyone drinks tap water. Regarding breakfast: in the 16 days I spent at this hotel, the menu never changed. What you see in my photos here is what was in the cafe every day, the same items in the same spots. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help.From€ 48

My stay at Brady Hotel Central Melbourne was absolutely fantastic! The biggest highlight has to be its superb location – incredibly close to the subway entrance, making it super easy to get around. For foodies like me, it was even better: the hotel is surrounded by all sorts of restaurants and eateries. There's so much variety, and you don't even have to go far to find great food. The room itself was very comfortable, and the overall facilities and service were top-notch. It's rare to find a hotel in Melbourne with such convenient transport links and amazing food options nearby. It offers excellent value for money, and I highly recommend it!From€ 79

We recently stayed at Novotel Melbourne on Little Collins, and overall had a comfortable and convenient experience.
The biggest highlight is definitely the excellent location in the heart of Melbourne CBD. It’s very easy to get around, with plenty of shopping, dining, and attractions within walking distance.
We arrived earlier than check-in time, and the staff kindly allowed us to store our luggage, which made things much easier. We were also offered a discounted breakfast option during check-in, which was a nice touch. The gym facilities were well-maintained, and we enjoyed using them during our stay.
The room was a bit more compact compared to other hotels we stayed at during this trip, but still clean and functional. Although we had requested a higher floor, we were assigned a lower-level room, which currently faces some construction.
One thing to note is that the lift system can be slightly inconvenient, as the reception is on Level 3 and requires a transfer between lifts. There were also a few instances where the lift didn’t respond as expected. Additionally, there isn’t a self-service laundry facility available.
Overall, despite a few minor inconveniences, we enjoyed our stay—especially because of the prime location and helpful service.From€ 108

This hotel is perfectly located if arriving into Melbourne on the train from Sydney. The hotel let me check in early at no extra charge. I found the staff to be cheerful, pleasant and very helpful. The room was spacious and very clean. The coffee and tea facilities were in the room but hidden in the cupboard next to the fridge and the drinking glasses were stored in the fridge! (Never seen that done before). The swimming pool was a nice added bonus and breakfast, although very basic, was adequate. [I only stayed one night, any longer that breakfast would certainly be classed as extremely boring!😜]. I did enjoy my stay and for one or two nights would definitely stay there again.From€ 68

A historic hotel. The room we booked was large and had a vintage feel to it; we stayed for four nights.
Every staff member we encountered from the moment we walked in was very polite. Room service was also very quick.
The only downside was that the two cleanings during our stay were not very thorough: only the bathroom towels and trash bags were replaced, but the bathroom floor wasn't cleaned, and the sheets weren't changed.
One evening, there was also a sudden power outage in the neighborhood, and our room was plunged into darkness instantly. We had to feel our way downstairs in the dark—it would have been better if the hotel had offered some form of compensation.From€ 89

We got a great deal during the off-peak season, though the price was a bit higher during our stay due to Melbourne's carnival and racing events.

However, there were a few disappointing points. We booked a family room for six people for three nights, but we were actually given adjacent connecting rooms.
Also, the connecting room's key was not unlocked, so we had to ask someone to open it for us after we entered.
Amenities were not provided for the number of guests, so we had to ask for more.
No extra water or other amenities were provided on the second or third night, and trash had not been disposed of.From€ 152

The apartments are good but dirty. The staff smiles to guests but don’t solve problems. First, when I arrived to the hotel it was early, their check in is after 3pm. The guy at the reception offered me to complete paperwork for check in. He also said that I can go for a walk and they will contact me once the room is ready. I gave him my Australian number but I never got a call. When I came back around 3:30pm the room key was ready for me, but why couldn’t they call me as promised? Second, the room was dirty especially bath tub (see photos). It had hair and skin of previous guests there- it seems they don’t really clean it. Second, next day morning I asked for packed breakfast because I went for a tour but the lady continued asking me why I need it and whether I want to check out one day early, why?.. third, the internet password did not work, so I went to reception and asked them to fix the problem. A lady took my phone and fixed it but instead solving the password issue she just reconnected using different option but she didn’t tell it to me . When I went back to my room it appeared that I still cannot connect my laptop so I had to go to the reception again. If the hotel staff know ls about Internet problem why not to fix it for everyone? Finally, they ask guests to clean their rooms before leaving otherwise cleaning charge will be applied. This is nonsense!From€ 89

We stayed here for 6 nights during our honeymoon, and it was truly a memorable stay.
One thing we really appreciated was that we arrived at the hotel quite early, at around 1:00 PM, and the front desk kindly allowed us to check in early. After a long flight, being able to settle into our room and have a rest before exploring the city meant so much to us. We were genuinely grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Melbourne CBD. Chinatown is directly across the road, and there are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, cafés, and tram stops nearby. Most of Melbourne’s attractions are within walking distance or just a short tram ride away, making it an ideal base for exploring the city.
Our room on the 15th floor was spacious, modern, clean, and very comfortable. We especially loved having a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, refrigerator, and cooking utensils. Staying for six nights, it was wonderful to cook a few meals ourselves instead of eating out every day. It made us feel less like tourists and more like locals.
Every evening after a full day of sightseeing, returning to our room on the 15th floor felt like coming home. It became a place where we could truly relax and unwind. By the last day, packing our luggage was unexpectedly emotional because we had grown so attached to the hotel and simply didn’t want to leave.
There was a small issue with the parking during our stay, and although it wasn’t handled perfectly at first, it was eventually resolved and did not affect our holiday. We also found that the service experience varied between staff members. A few employees appeared less friendly, while others were genuinely warm, professional, and always greeted us with a smile. Their kindness made us feel very welcome.
Overall, the excellent location, spacious room, home-like atmosphere, and the convenience of having a kitchen made this one of the most enjoyable hotel stays we’ve had. The few minor issues were far outweighed by the positive experience.
Thank you to the team for making our honeymoon even more special. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Melbourne, and we highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay. ❤️From€ 105

Stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne – Flinders Street for a short city break. The location is excellent, directly opposite Flinders Street Station and within easy walking distance of Federation Square, the Yarra River, restaurants and Melbourne's laneways.
The hotel itself is functional rather than impressive. It appears to be a converted office building, which means the layout is a little different from purpose-built hotels and there are no particularly memorable views despite the prime location. The room was comfortable enough, but the finishes and fixtures lacked the polished feel I've experienced at other DoubleTree properties. Business travellers looking for a more premium or contemporary fit-out may find it falls short of expectations.
During our stay there was an issue with our baggage, however the staff handled the situation professionally, resolved the problem and provided complimentary drink vouchers as a goodwill gesture, which was appreciated.
One disappointment was that the gym was closed during our stay, as this is a facility I normally like to use when travelling.
Overall, the hotel's strongest selling point is its outstanding location. It works well as a tourist base for exploring Melbourne, but business travellers who prioritise hotel facilities, room finishes and a more modern feel may prefer some of the newer hotels in the CBD.From€ 108

I stayed here for two nights, and the Ctrip price for this hotel was significantly lower than on other platforms. For the same price, other hotels weren't as new. Comparing them, this hotel is ideal, from its location to its rooms. The hotel also has USB ports on its outlets.
From a distance while walking along the river, you can easily spot the 'vibe' blue letters on the building, making it easy to find your way back. There's a path right outside the entrance that crosses the river. The Urban Rooms are located on floors below the sixth floor. If you want a view, you should opt for a River View Room on the sixth floor or higher.

This hotel deserves a five-star review! I wish I had stayed at the Sheraton for my entire trip to Melbourne. It's in the city center, which is incredibly convenient, and even late at night, around 8-9 PM, there are still plenty of people around, making it feel very safe. When I checked in, there was a Chinese-speaking staff member available. Although the person who actually checked me in was of Indian descent, a Chinese colleague came over to make sure everything was alright before leaving. They even offered me a complimentary glass of champagne! The hotel room was spacious and clean, definitely the best I've stayed in during my past two weeks in Sydney and Melbourne. It certainly lived up to expectations!
Right outside the hotel, there's a Rolex store, and if you walk down the street, you'll find the Town Hall and a church. There are plenty of options for dining, entertainment, and shopping. It's also not far from Australia's famous WWL? Or was it WWs?From€ 161

The hotel's location is excellent, with a free tram stop right outside. The front desk staff were very helpful and answered all my questions. They don't provide combs in the room, but you can ask the front desk for one. The other toiletries were great, and I especially liked the variety of tea bags. They also offer free evening sleep tea bags, and for two nights, they even left small chocolates on my bedside table! Housekeeping was prompt. I didn't get a chance to try the hotel's 35th-floor restaurant this time, but maybe next time!From€ 188

Melbourne Central Business District Melbourne|0.74km from downtown
Our stay was fantastic, far exceeding our expectations. The location is incredibly convenient, just a few hundred meters from Southern Cross Station, making it a short walk away. The front desk staff, both the men and women, were very friendly and provided excellent service. Our fellow travelers from various countries were also polite and pleasant to be around.From€ 17

St Kilda Road Melbourne|3.82km from downtown
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay here. It's about a 20-minute tram ride from Melbourne city center (which isn't too far, but the tram is quite slow), then a 3-5 minute walk. The area is very quiet. The double room was very spacious, I'd estimate around 30 square meters. Even with two beds, there was still plenty of extra space. There's a walk-in closet-like area connecting to the bathroom (which is relatively small). The fridge is tucked away in a cabinet. All toiletries were provided except for a toothbrush and toothpaste. For Melbourne, where space is at a premium, this location and room size at only 500 RMB a night is a fantastic deal. I had to pay a 100 AUD deposit upon check-in, which was refunded on the day of check-out.From€ 88

St Kilda Road Melbourne|3.97km from downtown
It's about 20 minutes' drive from the city center. There are many trams available, so the transportation is quite convenient. The room is quite clean, the space is large, and the environment is quiet. Some rooms have washing machines and simple cooking utensils, making it convenient for long-term stays. Unfortunately, there are no large shopping malls nearby. For shopping and dining, you have to go to the city center or distant towns.FAQs about Sydney to Melbourne
