Australia · Melbourne & Victoria
Melbournes Gassen
Guided walking tour of hidden bars, street art alleys and the city's famous coffee culture.
About Melbourne Laneways
Melbourne's narrow Victorian-era laneways were once mere service alleys — today they are the city's beating cultural heart. Some are crammed with internationally renowned street art (Hosier Lane, AC/DC Lane); others are home to cult coffee roasters, hidden cocktail bars and tiny restaurants.
A guided laneways walking tour is the best way to find the gems — most run two to three hours and end with a tasting at a great café or wine bar.
