What to expect

Degraves Street

A significant number of Degraves's upper buildings have been transformed into contemporary loft-style apartments, which has contributed to the neighborhood's development of a more youthful vibe. Graffiti, street art, and street performers are all common in this area, and each of these elements contributes in its own way to the one-of-a-kind character of this neighborhood.

Centre Pl

<nil>

In the 1980s, the area around Centre Place was renovated so that new restaurants and shops could open. A visit here will make you think of Harry Potter and his visits to Diagon Alley, the famous marketplace in London. Blue cobblestones line a thoroughfare dotted with businesses and cafes. It's well-known for its cafes, bars, and graffiti and street art.

The Block Arcade

Among all of Melbourne, Block Arcade is the most stylish and picturesque area. The building, was first opened to the public in 1892, is a spectacular example of French Renaissance architecture. There are high arches, cornices, and a plethora of beautiful tiles throughout. Located just off Collins Street, the arcade was formerly the area's epicenter for shopping and socializing.

Royal Arcade

The Royal Arcade is like the Block Arcade—glamorous and memorable. The Victorian Heritage Register lists Melbourne's oldest arcade, erected in 1870. Bourke, Elizabeth, or Little Collins Streets lead to the arcade. The arcade is a city landmark. Shops changed the appearance and removed many architectural characteristics.

Hardware Lane

Hardware Lane has long been a favorite hangout for Melbourne's partygoers and foodies, offering a lighter, sunnier alternative to the city's grungy, graffiti art-filled nooks. Put your feet up and enjoy the outside during the warmer months, or retreat within to a warm and inviting setting during the colder seasons. Relax and enjoy a variety of cuisines from around the world.
