Join our "Dough-lightful History Stroll!" as we venture through Melbourne's iconic laneways to savor the city's rich culture and past. We'll kick things off at Federation Square, a vibrant hub where culture and events collide.
Next, we'll graffiti-gravitate to Hosier Lane, where you'll be awestruck by artistry that's simply a-mural-ing. Stroll to St Paul's Cathedral, a holy landmark standing tall for over 150 years, offering architectural eye-candy and a history that's heaven-sent.
We'll sip into history at Young & Jackson's Hotel, home to the iconic "Chloe" painting. But don't worry, we won't linger; we've got doughnuts to discover!
Then, it's time to refuel with a caffeine hit in Centre Place, an alley bursting with cafe culture. It's the perfect appetizer before our doughnut extravaganza.
Stride down chic Collins Street, where shopping meets dining, and sneak a peek at the venerable Mitre Tavern, a charming relic of Melbourne's past.
Continue the journey on Hardware Lane, a slender path brimming with snug cafes and eateries. But we're here for doughnut delight, not drinks!
Explore the Old Melbourne Gaol, once a prison, now a notorious museum with infamous inmates like Ned Kelly, Australia's bad-boy bandit. No doughnuts behind bars, though!
Our adventure concludes at State Library Victoria, a bookish haven housing over 2 million reads - we lost count. The tour ends here, but we suggest diving into the literary sea while you're in town.
Prepare for a tasty tour – we've got two doughnut detours and a coffee pit stop!
