About South Melbourne

South Melbourne sits just 2 km from the CBD, postcode 3205, on the south side of the city between the Yarra River and the Port Phillip Bay foreshore. Clarendon Street is the main street, running from the city fringe through to South Melbourne Market, one of Melbourne's oldest fresh food markets operating since 1867. The suburb has a mix of converted warehouses, Victorian era terrace houses, and modern apartment towers, particularly around the light rail corridor near St Kilda Road. Trams are the dominant public transport option in South Melbourne, with routes along Clarendon Street, Kings Way, and St Kilda Road giving fast access to the city. There is no train station in the suburb. Despite the short distance to the CBD, getting to Melbourne Airport involves either a tram to Southern Cross and then a Skybus connection, or a direct taxi which most residents and visitors prefer for convenience when travelling with luggage. Silver Taxi covers South Melbourne for Melbourne Airport transfers and local bookings around the clock. Fares run from $67 to $74 depending on the exact pickup. Call 0412 456 588 or book online any time.
