Stroll along ‘Little Italy’s’ leafy Lygon Street and discover a place where Melbourne’s famous café culture was born.

Be tantalised by the aromas which fill the café lined street and discover the delicious array of Italian restaurants, speciality delicatessens and more.

Beautiful Victorian terraces provide a backdrop to lovers of coffee dining al fresco. A variety of cake shops and gelati bars are also there to tempt visitors as they spill out of theatres, cinemas, libraries and galleries.

Browse hidden fashion boutiques and book shops, or meander through the Carlton Gardens to one of Australia’s most important classical structures, the Royal Exhibition Building.
