Best coffee in town
I kind of like this coffee corner, also cuz it's right next to the public library. So if you want to check the Newspapers, Magazines or just your favourite books, you can do that for free.

Conselho para os viajantes
Como economizar
CBD has a Free Tram Zone
You don't need the Myki card (transportation card) if you want to hop on and off the public transport net within the CBD (3000) area. So... that's cool!
