Architecture Tour of Melbourne
There is a great variety of architecture in Melbourne and visitors always comment on the diversity of the built environment. Even though Europeans have been building in Melbourne for less than 200 years, Melbourne has seen a number of skilled architects that have created this city.

From 1850, this tour will highlight a number building periods which includes some of the latest buildings and architectural styles. From Reed to Katsalidis, we showcase some great local design.

Not only will you see buildings that are influenced by a Samurai warrior, a surveying stick or simply built to show off gold money, you will learn of some of the most sustainable buildings in the world such as the world’s first carbon-neutral structure.
