Getting here

We are located on Birdwood Avenue and St Kilda Road, 1.3km from Flinders Street Railway Station. You can walk or catch a tram from the city.

Take any southbound tram from Federation Square (except route number 1) to stop 19 Shrine of Remembrance.

Low floor trams operate regularly on this line, however the path to the Shrine from Stop 19 and Stop 20 is steep and may not be suitable for visitors with mobility needs. For a more gradual incline, we suggest alighting at Stop 17 Police Memorial and entering the Shrine Reserve from Anzac Avenue, where ramps are in place.
