Despite being the Central Business District (CBD), inner Melbourne City is a thriving cultural hub day to night, weekdays and weekends. With a gridded street system it’s easy to explore the laneways that house Melbourne’s best galleries, eateries, bars & boutiques. The repurposing of spaces by Melbourne creatives drives an exciting energy that runs through this ever evolving city.
Housed inside Curtin House (a building well worth visiting & exploring day and night) on Swanston Street, Metropolis Bookshop is the place to go for a huge selection of books on architecture, design, art, fashion, textiles, photography and more. A welcoming & expansive space to spend some time, look for a rarity or stock up on books - the staff are always happy to guide you toward your next read.
