International flights arrive direct to Melbourne Airport from many global hubs. From the airport it's an easy 20-minute taxi to the Flemington racecourse. Nothing is more Melbourne than a tram trip, so if you're travelling from the city, jump on tram 57, which has stops at both Flinders and Elizabeth st, and drops you right out the front of the racecourse.
The festivities attract more than 100,000 racing fans to the city, and virtually every bar, restaurant, cafe, shop and department store gets into the swing with a Cup-inspired event. Cup culture is so ingrained that the entire state of Victoria enjoys a government-declared public holiday on Melbourne Cup Day.
