Just across Flinders Lane from Centre Place, bustling Degraves Street was one of the first Melbourne 'laneways'. A pedestrian walkway linking the city's fashion precinct with Flinders Street Station, it remains an iconic and sociable spot for drinks, dining, browsing and people-watching. Join the happy hubbub, which at any time includes students and shoppers, tourists and lunching office workers.
Take your friends from out-of-town for coffee or a wine at stalwart Degraves Espresso, a quintessential Melbourne spot, or grab a cuppa from hole-in-the-wall Tulip Coffee.
Though the vibe cast by the cafe umbrellas in the shadow of the impressive Majorca Building is somewhat Parisian, dining on Degraves veers towards the Mediterranean, with The Quarter leading the casual but stylish charge. For those keen for a sweet treat, there's Little Cupcakes, and Pidapipo satisfies with its artisanal Italian gelato.
Browse the boutiques while you're here. Traverse the cobblestones with new kicks from fashion-forward John Fluevog Shoes, and pick up local and Victorian-made gifts – including ceramic reusable coffee cups – at Clementine's. Stock up on artisan notebooks at Il Papiro and canvas the goods at Senior Art Supplies.

Walk down the famous bluestone laneway and admire the street art that has made the Melbourne urban art scene known across the globe. Take in the dizzying array of colours, characters and shapes created by local and international artists alike. Pick out everything from stencils and paste-ups to murals and installations. Take a wander on your own or join one of the popular walking tours to get some background on the artists and their work. Take a detour round into Rutledge Lane and explore the work lining the walls, windows and wheelie bins of this sister 'gallery'. Once you've had your fill of the color and mayhem of the street art, slow things down with tapas and wine at MoVida Next Door, sit elbow-to-elbow with other hungry punters at big sibling Movida – one of the city's best tapas restaurants – or toast with margaritas and tacos at Tres a Cinco.
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.
