Melbourne is easily one of the best street art destinations in the entire world.
When famous US artist Keith Haring came to the city in 1984 and painted several murals across Melbourne, it lit a fire underneath local artists, inspiring them to add their own works to the city’s streets.
Melbourne’s distinctive urban layout, with many hidden laneways and alleys (often tucked away from public view), became outdoor art galleries.
As street art proliferated, it became an iconic part of the city for both locals and tourists.
There are hundreds of thousands of different artworks across Melbourne, from the tiny paintings to giant murals spanning entire blocks.
Here are some must-see spots.
