Melbourne has been ranked the world’s most livable city for seven years. As Australia’s second-largest city with around five million residents, it offers diverse cultural, sporting, and artistic attractions. The CBD is situated alongside the Yarra River and features wide streets arranged in a grid pattern, a legacy of its original city design. Wealth from the gold boom and a strong cultural community contribute to many impressive historic buildings.
The city’s laneways, connecting city blocks, are home to numerous cafes, restaurants, and street art. Successive waves of migrants including gold miners, union activists, entrepreneurs, and artists have shaped Melbourne's unique character.
The walking tour provides insight into Melbourne’s past and present by showcasing architectural details, local stories, and notable sites. Walking along the Yarra River and through hidden laneways, you will learn how Melbourne developed from a gold rush town into a modern city.
