Getting there

### Getting there

Use the Melbourne Park visitor guide to choose a public-transport approach, then check the entrance printed on your event ticket.

Confirm January services and the last journey home for your selected day. A match can finish later than expected; leave room for the return trip.

#### Arrive in Melbourne

Plan your airport transfer separately from the final journey to Melbourne Park. Leave room for airport formalities and hotel check-in.
