Melbourne is home to one of the best street art scenes in all of Australia, and you’ll stumble upon many charming laneways and alleys during your visit. If you’re not sure where to start looking, we’re bringing you three street art hotspots worth checking out in this city.
Hosier Lane
Located just off the iconic Flinders Street, Hosier Lane is definitely the first spot that pops to mind when someone mentions street art in Melbourne. It became pretty popular with street artists during the 1990s, and it offers a perfect mix of picture-perfect murals and graffiti from both renowned and emerging artists.
Duckboard Place
Duckboard Place is another iconic urban alley, covered in head to toe in street art and gig posters. It’s home to many beautiful murals, but Steen Jones’ floral Melbourne mural is definitely its most recognizable and photographed attraction since it perfectly captures the spirit of this city.
AC/DC Lane
AC/DC is one of the most iconic rock bands to come out of Australia, and this laneway was named after them. It’s a love letter to this band and rock music at large because it’s covered in rock-themed murals and graffiti and located in close proximity to some of Melbourne’s best rock venues.
