Walking Routes in Melbourne

Melbourne's personality is in its laneways. While Sydney has the harbour, Melbourne has a grid of narrow alleys hiding the best street art, coffee, and bars in the Southern Hemisphere. Questo's routes thread through the CBD's laneway network, Victorian arcades, and riverside promenades.

Fitzroy & Treasury Gardens: Melbourne’s Secret Walk

A nice self guided walking tour. Entertaining puzzles to solve. interesting information provided. Although we spent a while searching for captains cooks statue cause it was unfortunately removed for restoration when we went. Some of the walking instructions could have been a bit clearer but overall a great experience.
