A Tram Tale: The Classic Choice
For the budget-conscious and the tram-spotting enthusiast (because, let's face it, those things are pretty cool), the tram is your chariot to St Kilda's delights. Hop on the number 16, 96, or 3 tram, depending on your starting point in Melbourne's glorious grid. Just be sure to pack your patience for rush hour - it can get interesting (read: sweaty and hilarious).
Pro Tip: Don't forget your Myki card! Unless you fancy explaining to a very official-looking tram inspector why you haven't paid. Trust me, that conversation is not as fun as it sounds.
Taxi Tales: When Speed is King (or Queen)
Sometimes, the siren song of St Kilda's siren (yes, there's probably a siren there, it's that kind of place) demands a swift arrival. In that case, hail a cab, my friend! Just be prepared to dodge the occasional flock of over-enthusiastic seagulls (they're fiends for chips, those guys).
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
Fair Warning: Traffic can get a bit hairy, so factor that in if you're running on a tight penguin-gazing schedule.
The Two-Wheeled Warrior: For the Adventurous Soul
Saddle up, because St Kilda beckons to the intrepid cyclist! It's a scenic route along the coast, and a great way to work up an appetite for all those delicious St Kilda treats. Just remember to be road safe and share the path with fellow adventurers (and the occasional rollerblader in day-glo lycra).
Word to the Wise: Melbourne weather can be a fickle beast. Pack a raincoat, just in case. You wouldn't want to arrive looking like a drowned rat - not unless you're aiming for a specific kind of St Kilda chic.
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
