Overview

The best way to explore Melbourne's rich history and culture is on a walking tour that winds its way through Melbourne's many lanes and arcades. View grand buildings from the gold rush era when Melbourne was the second richest city in the British Empire outside London. Explore an intricate maze of lanes and Victorian era shopping arcades and discover some of Melbourne's secrets. The tour uses some easily accessible public transport but is mostly a leisurely stroll through Melbourne's history and culture. This tour can also be done at night when the city takes on an extra charm at night time when the bustle of the city quieten. The itinerary is flexible to meet the travellers requirements. Some suggested highlights are Federation Square, Parliament House, Old Treasury Building, Melbourne Town Hall, St Paul's Cathedral, and Windsor Hotel, as well as Melbourne's famous laneways and shopping arcades. Other sites to consider are Queen Victoria Market (not open Monday or Wednesday), Royal Exhibition Buildings, Rialto Buildings, State Library or Eureka Skydeck observation deck at level 88 (entry fee).
