You can budget for the top local attractions on your list, such as Melbourne Central and Crown Casino, and then make time for other wallet-friendly activities.

How can I get to Chinatown and get around on a budget?
Looking at these ways to get around Chinatown is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The closest airport is Melbourne, VIC (MEB-Essendon), 7 mi (11.3 km) away. If that doesn't suit your budget, the next closest is 11.8 mi (19 km) away: Melbourne Airport (MEL). Chinatown may not have many public transport choices so a rental car could be an economical alternative to see more of the area.
