There's always something new to discover in Melbourne's hive of bustling, creative laneways, with their covert boutiques, famed restaurants, hole-in-the-wall cafes and astonishing bars.

#1 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 colours, characters and shapes created by local and international artists alike.

#2 Flinders Quarter

Tuck your Penguin Classic into your back pocket, scuff those shoes and adjust your specs: you're entering the home of Melbourne's creative elite and the stomping ground of the city’s fashionistas. Hark at the bars, design stores, writers' studios, galleries and boutique fashion outlets.

#3 Liverpool Street

Liverpool Street was originally known as Juliet Terrace, with neighbouring Crossley Street getting the moniker Romeo Lane, thanks to their proximity to the old Shakespeare Hotel – one of Melbourne's first watering holes. But with one foot in Chinatown and the other in Melbourne's humming theatre district, Liverpool Street feels more like old Shanghai than mother England.

#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 fills up with lunchtime workers and hungry shoppers.

#5 Meyers Place

Spend a night down one of Melbourne's oldest laneways and see why Meyers Place is a popular spot for both traditionalists and new-school scenesters. Originally known as Nicholas Lane, Meyers Place connects Little Collins and Bourke up at the top end of town. 

#6 Degraves Street

 Join the happy throng, which includes students and shoppers, tourists and lunchtime workers, on this pedestrian walkway linking the city's fashion precinct with Flinders Street Station.

#7 Centre Palace

Despite being Melbourne's quintessential laneway, Centre Place still suprises and delights with its wild street art, boutiques and buzzing cafes.

#8 Crossley Street

There's great comfort to be had in knowing places like Crossley Steet still exist, with the venerable Pellegrini's standing guard over quirky shops and cafes.

#9 Blender Lane 

Cruise down to Blender Lane to visit the spiritual home of Melbourne's famous street art scene. Take in a spectacle of colour, with stencils, murals, tags and paste-ups filling up every surface of this little laneway. Pick up jewellery, crafts and artworks at the artists' market during the summer, attend workshops and street art tours at Blender Studios.
