Ontdek Melbourne via een gamified avontuur

Melbourne keeps its best bits tucked out of sight. The good stuff is down the narrow lanes you nearly walk past, on walls that look different every time someone returns, and in neighbourhoods that most visitors never reach. Questo gives you a reason to go find all of it, phone in hand, clues pulling you further than you planned to go.

The city has a distinct character built around its laneways. The CBD grid hides a second city inside it: Hosier Lane and AC/DC Lane, Federation Square sitting open on the Yarra, the covered arcades threading between Collins and Bourke streets, and Fitzroy just north where the terrace houses give way to independent bookshops and wine bars. It rewards people who slow down and look sideways.

Questo's Melbourne quests run across several moods. One sends you chasing vampire legends and the city's darker colonial history after dark. Another traces the walls of the street art scene and the stories behind the murals. A third explores Fitzroy and the Treasury Gardens, where the city quiets down and the paths wind between old oaks. There is also a quest built around Melbourne's obsession with sport, taking in the MCG and the stadiums that define the city's identity.

A couple of things worth knowing before you head out. The art in Hosier Lane repaints itself constantly, so crouch down and check the cobblestones and the pipes as well as the walls at eye level. For coffee, Degraves Street near Flinders Street Station is the place locals go when they want a proper espresso at an outdoor table and somewhere to sit and watch the lane fill up.
