Second Date for Arts Centre, Dine with Chloe and Treasury Melbourne City Tours 10am

Arts Centre Melbourne

Meet under the clocks at 10am. Let’s start with a coffee at 10:15 then kick off your touring at the city’s creative heartbeat, Arts Centre Melbourne, where the iconic spire reaches for the clouds. Go behind the velvet curtains on a guided tour to see where the magic happens, from the glittering Hall to the massive underground State Theatre - which is large enough to fit eight suburban houses on its stage!

Take a delicious break at Young and Jackson, Melbourne’s most legendary pub that has been pouring pints since 1861. Head upstairs to Chloe’s Dining Room for a modern Australian lunch with a side of history, dining under the watchful gaze of the famous-and slightly scandalous-Chloe portrait, a local celebrity for over a century.

Included lunch with wine, fresh bread, choice of four mains, sweet treat, tea or coffee.

Immerse yourself in the city’s kaleidoscopic soul with a wander through its world-famous art alleys. From the neon-bright murals of Hosier Lane to the hidden gems of Duckboard Place, these ever-changing outdoor galleries turn every corner into a surprise.

Wrap up your adventure with a private tour of the Old Treasury Building, an architectural gem built by a 19-year-old. You’ll get "key to the city" access to the Executive Council Chamber where laws are still signed today, and descend into the original Gold Vaults to see where the massive riches of the Victorian Gold Rush were once locked away.

Walk or tram back to station for around 5pm.
