One of the features of Melbourne is the narrow lanes between the main streets in the station area, often covered from above, which are called "arcades". Their width does not exceed 3-4 meters, there are cafes and restaurants for all tastes, small shops, there are always a lot of people. The most famous of the arcades is the Block Arcade on Collins Street, with its mosaic floor and a range of boutiques. The Royal Arcade is Melbourne's oldest arcade, built in
1869. The recently refurbished Hardware Line arcade is reminiscent of Parisian lanes with countless cafes and restaurants with tables right in the aisle. Live music sounds here and the atmosphere of a holiday reigns. Tourists are offered excursions through the alleys and arcades of Melbourne, which will help to better understand the spirit of this city.
