Overview
Embark on a journey through the heart of Melbourne (CBD), where 19th century elegance meets today's avant-garde. On this 2-hour tour, we will discover why this is the cultural capital of Australia.
What we will explore:
Icons and Avant-Garde: We will start at Federation Square to analyze its deconstructivist style, opposite the historic Flinders Street Station and St Paul's Cathedral.
Arcades and Laneways: We'll immerse ourselves in the Victorian splendor of the Block Arcade and wander the famous laneways to understand the city's coffee culture and street art.
Stories and Legends: We will visit the majestic State Library and pass through the Old Melbourne Gaol, site where the fate of the outlaw Ned Kelly was sealed.
Hidden Mysteries: We will finish near the Queen Victoria Market, unveiling the story of the ancient cemetery that lies beneath its foundations.
This tour is the perfect introduction to understanding how Melbourne grew from a colonial settlement to a vibrant global metropolis. Ideal for those looking for history, design and local tips.
