A 32km loop taking in some of Melbourne's famous landmarks. A popular place to start is at Southbank where you can enjoy a coffee before hopping on the bike.
The trail is either concrete or bitumen and suitable for all types of bikes. There are a couple of locations where there are steps on the trail so you will need to be able to lift and carry your bike.
The trail takes in:
- Docklands
- Telstra Dome
- Moonee Ponds Creek
- Zoo and Royal Park
- Yarra Bend Park
- Merri Creek
- Yarra River
- Melbourne Park and MCG
- Alexandra Gardens
- Southbank.
As a result of Bicycle Victoria's campaigning, centre lines and signage make the path easy to follow.
However, there are a few locations on the trail where people have been known to get lost and some sections where the trail is poor quality. See the info sheet (right) for tips to help you find your way around the loop.
Look for signs with the Capital City Trail logo.
