Melbourne Laneways & Arcades Self-Guided Walking Tour - Melbourne,VIC

Jody Mahmoud A small and cute village model, with tiny cottages surronded by greenery. Small details that give the cottages a realistic look. Love it.

ATN KSD Walking down Collins Street in Melbourne, I felt a mix of excitement and admiration. The elegant blend of historic charm and modern sophistication made it feel like the heart of the city. The grand architecture, from the beautiful Block Arcade to the impressive Scots’ Church, gave the street a timeless character. I loved the energy—the hum of conversations from stylish cafés, the quiet elegance of luxury boutiques, and the steady rhythm of city life. Whether it was enjoying a peaceful coffee, admiring the heritage buildings, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Collins Street left me feeling inspired and connected to Melbourne’s unique charm.

Akrem Jaouadi You absolutely must visit Melbournes Shrine of Remembrance. This magnificent architectural landmark stands as a powerful memorial to the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War. Beyond its profound historical significance, its elevated location offers some of the best vantage points for sweeping city views. Its a truly unique place where history and stunning vistas unite.

Matt Very interesting place if it takes your fancy. Lots of historical art and pieces to modern day. Best of all it’s free entry! Just a heads up it does get extremely hot inside and be careful of bag size. Backpacks are not allowed inside however you can check them for free.

amit kapuria 5 Stars – A Truly Divine Experience ISKCON Melbourne is a spiritual gem in the heart of the city. The temple is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and filled with divine energy. The deities are stunning and the daily aartis and kirtans uplift the soul. The devotees are welcoming and always ready to help newcomers feel at home. The Sunday Feast is a highlight – delicious vegetarian food served with love, accompanied by inspiring talks and joyous chanting. It’s more than just a place of worship; it’s a community that promotes peace, compassion, and devotion. Highly recommended for anyone seeking spiritual growth, cultural connection, or just a peaceful break from daily life.

Fabrizia Barrowcliffe Just saw the most amazingly talented bunch of acrobats, musicians, actors, singers and performers from the Lyttelton theatre company. Performing a mesmerising show entitled Berlin burlesque. Based on a true story. Absolutely sensational, not very risqué until right at the end, funny entertaining and full of energy. Gorgeous little intimate theatre- don’t miss it! Only on another 16 nights. Really fabulous!

Dhana Ganeshpuri Observatory Gate Lodge is at the Entrance of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. Its the Meeting Place for Walking Tours and where Friends of the Botanical Gardens gather.

Richard Hill Very photogenic ivy on the wall of this house
