Famous Laneways | Melbourne | Australia

Explore Melbourne's laneways brimming with cozy cafes, hole in the wall cafes, vibrant graffiti, and stunning street art. Join me in this video as I guide you through:

1) Degraves St. - Across from Flinders Street Station, this is ground zero for street art and alfresco brunch. One of Melbourne's most recognized laneways is home to street art and a range of laneway dining options.

2) Centre Place - This tiny bustling alleyway is packed with cafes, bars, offbeat shops and street art. Pause to appreciate the Majorca Building on the corner, built in 1928 in the Spanish Moorish style. Then take in the hustle and bustle of this dynamic thoroughfare and its surrounding street art, bars hidden up flights of stairs, and unusual shops.

3) Block Arcade - Take in the stunning glass canopy and mosaics of this historic shopping arcade. The Block Arcade's impressive 1893 glass canopy and mosaics are reminiscent of the Galleria Vittorio in Milan.

4) Block Place - Turn off the Little Collins Street fashion strip between Swanston and Elizabeth streets to find Block Place, a pedestrian laneway crowded with hole-in-the-wall coffee shops and eateries. Originally the home of stamp dealers, shoe stores and dry cleaners, this popular cafe precinct now caters to lunchtime workers and hungry shoppers.

5) Hosier Lane - Walk down the famous bluestone laneway and admire the street art that has made the Melbourne urban art scene known across the globe. Take in the dizzying array of colors, characters and shapes created by local and international artists alike. Pick out everything from stencils and paste-ups to murals and installations.

6) AC DC Lane - Named after Australian musical heroes AC/DC, Melbourne's ACDC Lane is the physical embodiment of Melbourne's enduring love affair with grungy rock 'n' roll. Once home to the infamous Cherry Bar, where every young hoon and swashbuckler had rocked out at some stage, this little corner of the city is what kick-started the laneway lifestyle way back when.
