Melbourne street art is a top attraction largely due to the originality of each mural. Sit down, enjoy brunch, a coffee and relax into a special Melbourne moment.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VIEW MELBOURNE’S STREET ART?
The best time to shoot photos of Melbourne street art is early morning on the weekend. The streets are relatively empty. During the week office workers, tourists and shoppers throng the narrow lanes. Weekdays are a buzz of people, opportunities for images of people smiling, chatting and negotiating.

Arcades and lanes walk – City of Melbourne describes how Melbourne’s laneways originated as rear access to properties facing big streets. Laneways are traditionally just wide enough for a horse and cart.
Arcades are roofed shelters from weather as well as opportunities for property owners to rent their rear access. During your walk you will see uninhabited laneways awaiting the right time to set up shop as the latest street side cafe.
Tourism has provided Victorian era service lanes with a new lease of life. And the bonus of the walk is a coffee in a cafe that does not seem to be too crowded with tourists.
