Melbourne is one of the best Art Deco cities in the world and many of the best buildings are located in the city centre. In 1934 Melbourne celebrated its centenary and this event provided a catalyst for a building boom that continued for the next six years to transform the city.

This guided tour covers a variety of building types in the centre of the city from the Manchester Unity Building to the Majorca Building. The use of terracotta ‘self-cleaning’ tiles, distinctive patterning, and design details new during the period will be highlighted. Buildings with accents on Spanish, Egyptian, Mayan and other cultures can be seen and indicate what people were interested in in the Deco period.

This walk will start in the city centre. Cost per person is $55 Per Person, payable to the hired guide.
