Melbourne's laneways

Why locals love it

Sometimes a little daunting, and often missed by visitors, Melbourne's unique laneways are a treasure trove of food, drinking and shopping! There's something for everyone in Melbourne's laneways, and even locals sometimes find they have difficulties re-finding that cute little store/restaurant/cafe that they could swear was there last week!

Why you should visit it

Don't be afraid to step off the main streets, and into Melbourne's laneway subculture where you'll find world class street art, one-off boutiques, unique galleries, tiny cafés and hidden bars. Hardware Lane is famous for its great range of food; Bennett's Lane for the city's best jazz club and Hosier Lane for some of the city's best street art.

Isn't this one of the main reasons to come to Melbourne? Venture down any laneway ... some may not imptress or be your style, but in so many there wil be something colourful and unexpected. You may just end up spending a few hours sitting in a bar or cafe or admiring the graffiti, where you once would have walked past without a thought.
