Melbourne’s centre is a neat rectangle with a second city hidden inside it. The Hoddle Grid covers the big streets from Flinders Street to La Trobe Street, Little Streets finds their narrow twins such as Little Collins and Little Bourke, and Laneway Explorer ducks into the lanes and arcades in between, past places like Hosier Lane.

Beyond the grid, twelve councils spread along the Yarra and around the bay, from Brunswick Street to Acland Street in St Kilda. Across the Yarra counts the bridges, the Capital City Trail loops the inner city, and Four Seasons in One Day takes care of the weather. Your suburb is the place to start.

Melbourne’s own achievements

Every city in Every Street has badges only it has. These are Melbourne’s.

    Walk the fourteen streets of Robert Hoddle's 1837 grid, from Flinders Street to La Trobe Street and from Spencer Street to Spring Street.

    Duck into the CBD's laneways and arcades, the lanes, places and alleys between the big streets of the grid.
