Are you one of us, street art fans? We love it! Street art does not fascinate us just because we rather spend time wandering the streets than inside of a museum, but also because some graffiti really are a work of art!
Where ever we travel, we can always see some street art. It does not matter if this comes on a building, bus, train or a fence. We can see them everywhere. A little bit less common is the fact, that there are streets and even areas, where street art has its own name, space and is actually completely legal. This can be easily seen in Melbourne.

Melbourne street art locations
You cannot miss seeing some of the best street art if you head up to:
- Hosier Lane
- Rutledge Lane
- Caledonian Lane
- Union Lane
- 21 Degraves Street
- Cocker Alley
- Flinders Lane
The city of Melbourne put out permits for street art and that is why locations are changing on a day to day basis.
Melbourne is the leading world city in street art, what is no surprise at all. The city of Melbourne acknowledges that public spaces provide an outdoor gallery and contributes to a vibrant urban environment. We could not agree more and wish this understanding would be present in all cities around the world.
