History & Donuts Walking Tour

Got all the ingredients for a dough-lightful adventure!

Calling all Melbourne runners! Running Tours Melbourne is organising a unique running event that you won't want to miss. Lace up your sneakers and get ready to explore Melbourne's vibrant laneways on our “Dough-lightful History Stroll!”

We'll start our adventure at the bustling Federation Square, where you'll feel the energy of the city as it comes alive with culture and events. From there, we'll make our way to the famous street art hotspot, Hosier Lane. Prepare to be amazed by the incredible murals that adorn the walls – it's truly a-mural-ing!

Next, we'll make a stop at St Paul's Cathedral, a magnificent landmark that has stood tall for over 150 years. The stunning architecture and rich history of this holy site will leave you in awe. But don't worry, we won't keep you from your doughnut fix for too long!

Our journey will then take us to Young & Jackson's Hotel, a legendary establishment that is home to the iconic “Chloe” painting. While you won't find doughnuts here, fear not – we have a sweet surprise awaiting you.

After working up an appetite, we'll head to Centre Place, a bustling alley filled with charming cafés. Take a moment to refuel with a caffeine hit before we embark on our doughnut extravaganza!

As we strut down the fashionable Collins Street, you'll see the perfect fusion of shopping and dining. Don't forget to steal a glimpse at the Mitre Tavern, a charming relic from Melbourne's past. Our journey continues along Hardware Lane, where you'll find cosy cafés and delightful eateries. But remember, our main focus is the indulgent doughnuts waiting to be savored!

To add a touch of thrill to our venture, we'll visit the Old Melbourne Gaol, a former prison that now serves as a captivating museum. Step into the world of infamous inmates like Ned Kelly, Australia's notorious bandit. But fear not, there are no doughnuts behind bars!

Our adventure will conclude at the State Library Victoria, a haven for bookworms with its extensive collection of over 2 million reads. While the tour ends here, we highly recommend diving into the literary sea and exploring everything this iconic library has to offer.

Get ready for an unforgettable running experience filled with culture, history, and, of course, delicious doughnuts!
