Destinations

A canvas for expression in the city’s creative core

Tucked between Flinders Street and Federation Square, Hosier Lane is Melbourne’s most iconic laneway—an ever-evolving showcase of bold street art, social commentary, and artistic defiance. Graffiti here isn’t just accepted—it’s celebrated.

Melbourne’s most popular street art is a much celebrated landmark mainly due to its sophisticated Urban Art. The graffiti covered walls are ever changing. The political nature and quality of the art installations in the lane have made the street famous.

Insider Insight

Hosier Lane is a laneway in the central business district (CBD) of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Located on the CBD’s southern edge, it extends between Flinders Street and Flinders Lane, and opens opposite the Atrium at Federation Square. Join a private street art tour led by local creatives who know the stories behind the murals. You’ll even get access to rooftops and hidden walls not open to the public. End with a graffiti masterclass where you can leave your own (temporary) mark, guided by a top Melbourne street artist.

More than a photo op, Hosier Lane is Melbourne’s living, breathing creative rebellion.
