Melbourne Train and Tram Map This map covers the downtown and greater metropolitan area of the city of Melbourne. With a population of just over 4 million people, Melbourne is Australia's second-largest metropolitan area. Having been founded on the riches of a gold rush, the city is blessed with some of the world's most impressive 19th century buildings and streetscapes. Melbournians love their sport and take pride in having hosted the 1956 Olympic Games. Perhaps the city's most sacred site is the Melbourne Cricket Ground - known to the locals simply as 'The G'. It was the main stadium of the 1956 Olympics, the site of the very first 'Ashes' test match in 1877, is the venue of the nation's largest annual sporting event - the AFL Grand Final, and is home to the oldest senior grade club of any football code in the world - the Melbourne Football Club.



But Melbourne is by no means just a sporting city - it has thriving arts and university communities and is proudly multicultural with a strong migrant culture that has made the city one of the great food centres of the world. And if you love coffee - when visiting Melbourne you are in paradise. This map covers the downtown and greater metropolitan area of the city of Melbourne.
