Chapel Street is a must for those wanting to get a taste of local life in Melbourne.

Leave yourself plenty of time and wear comfortable shoes—it takes at least 45 minutes to walk the length of the street, but you’ll want to leave extra time to browse the shops along the way.

Most shops along Chapel Street are open morning to early evening Mondays to Saturdays, with shorter opening hours on Sundays.

Chapel Street is wheelchair and stroller accessible, and many shops and cafés are accessible too.
