Those on a tight schedule might want to join a guided walking tour exploring the laneways and arcades of Melbourne’s CBD. Guides point out architectural quirks, cool independent boutiques and interesting street art, giving you an idea of the lay of the (often confusing) land and revealing some of Melbourne’s fascinating history in just three hours. Of course, this is Melbourne so there’s a stop for coffee along the way. Everything wraps up at lunchtime so you can grab something to eat then perhaps go back to that great shop you saw and buy yourself a present.
