Transport is the best in the world!
The Grand is situated next to Southern Cross station, you wonder why the station isn’t named Grand Central! I guess London’s Charing Cross and Kings Cross stations had some influence on the choice ...
Trains are the reason the Grand exists as a building. But there aren’t just trains these days, the Grand has a wealth of transport facilities available within a couple of hundred metres: helicopters, taxis, trains, trams, buses, water taxis and ferries!
Here’s a map of the area around Southern Cross Station - Metlink.
To travel to either of Melbourne’s two international airports (Tullamarine and Avalon), take the Skybus to ‘Tulla’ or the Airport West bus to Avalon.
