ringwood to city Page 2

If by “city” you mean Melbourne CBD, Ringwood sits about 25 km east, so it’s a quick hop when the traffic gods are smiling.

By car, expect roughly 30–45 minutes via Maroondah Highway/EastLink (tolls apply), and longer if everyone’s discovered the same shortcut you did. The train is the calmer option: Belgrave/Lilydale lines run from Ringwood to Flinders Street in about 35–45 minutes, give or take peak-hour faffing. Cycling’s doable if you fancy a workout—plan on 60–90 minutes depending on route and legs. Leave a buffer; Melbourne traffic can turn a latte run into an epic.
