Yeh. Woohoo. A lane that smells like wee and is covered in grafitti from a bunch of chrome sniffers and sewer rats. Ah yes. Melbourne's got it all. This is actually good if you want edgy wedding photos and can hold your breath or don't mind the stench of stale liquid yellow. More

Opening up and revamping the former rather seedy CBD laneways is one of the best things that have happened to Melbourne. The professional graffiti, the bars and cafes, the tiny boutiques give the place a fabulous vibe. And the fabulous MoVida spanish inspired restaurant is in this Laneway.

It's a safe, vibrant, display of talent with great opportunities to take photos, and it's forever changing. The works were different from the last time I was there. More

Love the graffiti, just minutes away from the sedate and sophisticated Collinds Street to the modern in your face Federation Square, Hosier Lane brings another face to Melbourne. Not sure what came first, MoVida or the art but together they bring a sense of fun to Melbourne. More

Great spot for photos - you'll almost always see wedding parties getting pics here. Great street art all over Hosier Ln and the adjoining laneways. You'll see so many different styles of street art. This is genuine street art - not pointless "tagging". Almost directly opposite Federation Square, so easy to get to and easy to find. More
