Our current venue, Hotel Jasper, is still in the free tram zone, but only just! If you are outside of the CBD, you will need a Myki. You can purchase a Myki at:
- Victoria Market Pharmacy
- Elizabeth Supermarket/Convenience Store (right across the road)
- 7 Eleven Vic Market (virtually next door)
- Victoria Market Tattslotto
Here at the Jasper, our nearest public transport routes are tram lines:
- 19 (North Coburg Flinders Street Station)
- 57 (West MaribyrnongFlinders Street)
- 59 (Airport West Flinders St) running along Elizabeth St, and
- 55 (West Coburg–Domain Interchange) along Peel St.
Our nearest train stations are Flagstaff Station and Melbourne Central.
The nearest ATMs to Continuum are in the Queen Victoria Market (QVM) but on weekends the queues to get to them can be daunting. We recommend using a banking app on your smartphone to find the nearest ATMs.
At the Queen Victoria Market, you can find lots of fresh produce for your breakfast/lunch (both in the produce section, Deli Hall, and String Bean Alley – although the String Bean Alley shops are largely not accessible by wheelchair), coffee locations, food halls, and many more wonderful features. The market will be open on Friday (6am-3/5pm), Saturday (6am-3pm), and Sunday (9am-4pm). Of course, you may decide that you want ready-made meals and the 24/7 McDonalds next door would just be too much McDonalds for one weekend. Here are some suggestions from us at Continuum!

You can also travel north to Lygon Street, but we can only recommend that if you want to take more than the hour meal break – and who wants to miss out on our wonderful programming?
If you want to head to a park/open space for some chill out time, Flagstaff Gardens is around a 10min walk away. You can cut through QVM to get there, or go down Franklin St to Williams St.
