If taking Public Transport, there are two tram journey options. Both options connect with Flinders Street Station:

Take Route 1, which travels along Sturt Street and straight to ACCA’s front door. Alight at Stop 17 (accessible stop) at the Recital Centre and continue south down Sturt Street to ACCA’s front door at 111 Sturt Street. If you are standing facing the ACCA front doors, you will see a courtyard on the right side of this building.
