Itinerary

Milton House

Passing by

I just want to draw your attention to the house you see on your right. There are so few art nouveau buildings in Melbourne that it deserves a look, even if it’s quick.
Stop 2

Passing by

You have here the entrance to the treasure gardens overlooking Fitzroy Gardens. The latter are the best known in Melbourne and cover almost 26 hectares. They are one of Australia’s leading Victorian landscaped gardens.
St. Patrick's Cathedral

Passing by

You are now in front of St Patrick’s Cathedral, the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne. It is the largest and highest church in the country.
Princess Theatre

Passing by

Leaving the gardens of the Parliament, you are attracted almost inadvertently by the opulence of the façade of the beautiful Princess Theatre across the street. It is one of Melbourne’s most spectacular buildings and recalls the city’s wealth during the Gold Rush.
Stop 5

Passing by

The imposing building you have there is the Victoria Parliament. Built in the 19th century, it is considered one of the finest examples of civil architecture in the British Empire.
Chinatown

Passing by

You are now, as you have understood, in the Chinatown neighborhood. Like all the major cities in the world, Melbourne has an important Chinese Quarter, born in the 1850s. At that time, the gold rush attracted immigrants from all over the world, including thousands of Chinese prospectors.
Stop 7

Passing by

The huge building that now stands before you is the Victoria State Library. Established in 1854 as the Melbourne Public Library, it is the oldest public library in Australia and one of the first in the world to be free!
The Public Purse

Passing by

Yes, it seems that someone has forgotten their wallet. This giant sculpture is part of Australia’s Big Things. If you’re on a road trip around the country, you’ve probably already met others.
Royal Arcade

Passing by

You’ve just entered Melbourne’s magnificent Royal Arcade. When I told you it was the most European of Australian cities! This is the first covered passage in the country!
Melbourne

Passing by

Now you stand outside Melbourne City Hall, his City Inn. Melbourne was officially declared a city on 13 December 1842, with Henry Condell as its first mayor.
Stop 11

Passing by

If you’ve been praised for Melbourne’s wonderful alleyways, filled with alternative cafes, quirky boutiques and culinary paradise, you were certainly talking about Centre Place and Degraves Street.
St Paul's Cathedral

Passing by

Here you have St. Paul’s Cathedral, whose Gothic Revival style contrasts with the buildings surrounding it. It was built on the site where the first public Christian service was held in 1835.
Flinders Street Station

Passing by

You may have recognized it as the most iconic and photographed monument in the city, but here you are in front of Flinders' Station, Melbourne’s railway station.
Southbank

Passing by

The Even Walker Bridge takes you straight to the South Bank neighborhood. This modern and dynamic suburb extends 1 km south of the CBD. If you haven’t heard the term yet, it simply stands for Melbourne Centre, and means Central Business District.
Skyline Melbourne (kiis Eye)

Passing by

From the Southbank Promenade you have a great view of Melbourne’s CBD. Skyscrapers stand behind the Yarra River and Flinders' Station stretches all the way across the river.
Princes Bridge

Passing by

The Princes’ Bridge that you now use takes over the site of one of the oldest river crossings and offers a southern entrance to the historic centre. Its ultra central position makes it a key location for major celebrations such as New Year's Eve.
Fed Square

Passing by

Here you are in the center of Federation Square, Fed Square for the intimate! This modern square is the cultural place of Melbourne!
Stop 18

Passing by

Leaving Federation square, you are suddenly struck by the vastness and neat architecture of the building that faces you across the street. This is the Forum Theatre, a historic theatre and a former cinema, converted into a concert hall.
Melbourne Australia Street Art

Passing by

Melbourne is a lively, active and constantly changing city. Hosier lane where you are now is a striking example. Everything here changes constantly!
Stop 20

Passing by

You have, on your right, the entrance to the AC/DC lane! An alley entirely dedicated to the mythical Australian hard rock band.
