You step off Flinders Street and the city rearranges itself: trams hum, the Yarra dares you to follow its curve, and a laneway flares with espresso steam and paste-up posters. Over the next three hours a local guide threads you through Melbourne’s compact heart—green squares, Victorian facades, and graffiti-streaked alleys where every brick has a story.
