Step beyond the obvious laneway snapshots and into Melbourne’s living outdoor gallery. Your local guide leads you through hidden alleys and lesser-trodden side streets, pointing out murals, sculptures, installations and architectural details that quietly shape the city’s character. You’ll move at an unhurried pace, with time to take in the work of celebrated street artists alongside lesser-known names – and the stories behind them. The afternoon winds down at a tucked-away bar, where a snack and a drink land in front of you as the day’s discoveries settle in.
