About Carlton
Carlton is one of Melbourne's most recognisable inner suburbs, sitting 2 km north of the CBD in postcode 3053. Lygon Street is the suburb's main commercial spine and has been associated with Italian cafes, restaurants, and gelato shops for decades, earning its reputation as Melbourne's Little Italy. The University of Melbourne occupies a large portion of the suburb's western side, and Carlton Gardens to the east holds the Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum, both significant heritage and cultural landmarks. Rathdowne Street adds a quieter strip of cafes and independent shops to the mix. Carlton has good public transport coverage with trams running along Lygon Street, Swanston Street, and Royal Parade, all connecting to the CBD. There is no train station in Carlton itself, and parking is limited across much of the suburb, so taxis are frequently used for university visits, late night restaurant trips, and airport runs where carrying luggage on trams is impractical. Silver Taxi covers Carlton for airport transfers, late night pickups after Lygon Street dining, and general travel across Melbourne. The fare to Melbourne Airport from Carlton typically runs from $60 to $67. To arrange a cab call 0412 456 588 or complete the booking form on this page.
