Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Melbourne's café and laneway culture was built for solo exploration — coffee shops here are some of the best in the world and solo sitting is the norm. The city tram network is free in the CBD. Fitzroy and Collingwood are where the creative crowd gathers; the night market at Queen Vic is perfect for solo grazing.
