WHAT YOU VISIT
Hosier Lane
A Melbourne backstreet dedicated entirely to urban art, the cobalt-colored street was declared a "graffiti tolerance zone" by the city council and boasts a large collection of spray-painted masterpieces.

Upper West Side Gallery
Designated as the city's first official Street Art Precinct, the multi-story murals grace the building's exterior as well as the interior.

Fitzroy and Collingwood
These two streets tucked in Inner Melbourne is considered the bohemian heart of the city. Admire the artistic expressions painted on the buildings, sidewalks and streets.

Local Artist Studio
Meet the creators and learn about the local artists, architects and designers who are re-imagining and re-inventing Melbourne's neighborhoods and how the local council actively encourages artistic expression.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Everywhere you point your camera, you'll see one photogenic sight after another.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As you make your way along the local laneways, you'll see modern art mingling with the city's beautiful Victorian buildings.
