About this activity
The tour group meets at the corner of Lonsdale Street and Madame Brussels Lane, which is located next to 38-40 Lonsdale St, City. From there we head off to explore the streets and laneways which were the home of crime, prostitution and vice 100 years ago.

The tour finishes several blocks down the hill at the corner of Lonsdale and Russell Street, Melbourne CBD.

The start and finish points are a short walk from Parliament Railway Station (Bourke Street exit), and are close to Melbourne's many tram stops.

The starting point is straight across the road from Secure Parking, a multilevel parking station at 59 Lonsdale Street.

There are Public toilets located a little way down Lonsdale Street, in the centre parking strip at the corner of Lonsdale and Exhibition Streets.

See you at the Madame Brussels Lane street sign, near 38-40 Lonsdale Street.
