Melbourne's Famous Street Art & Laneways Free Tour

Melbourne's laneways were originally built as service alleys in the 19th century. Over time, many evolved into lively pedestrian spaces filled with cafés, bars, independent shops, and galleries. During the late 20th century, street artists began transforming many of these lanes into open-air galleries, and today the city is regarded as one of the world's leading destinations for urban art.

Some of the most famous examples include:

Hosier Lane – The city's most iconic street art laneway, constantly changing as artists add new murals and graffiti. AC/DC Lane – Named after the Australian rock band, featuring music-themed street art and murals. Centre Place – A narrow laneway lined with cafés, small restaurants, boutiques, and colourful walls. Degraves Street – One of Melbourne's best-known café laneways, famous for its European-style.
