About Melbourne for Solo Travelers
Melbourne's world-class coffee culture, hidden laneways, and vibrant arts scene reward the solo traveler who wanders without a plan and follows curiosity.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Melbourne's café and laneway culture was built for solo exploration — coffee shops here are some of the best in the world and solo sitting is the norm. The city tram network is free in the CBD. Fitzroy and Collingwood are where the creative crowd gathers; the night market at Queen Vic is perfect for solo grazing.

Patricia Coffee Brewers
Cafes
A tiny, standing-room-only espresso bar tucked into a laneway corner near the law courts, famous for excellent coffee — choose black, white or filter — and quick, friendly service. It opens weekdays only, from early morning to mid-afternoon. A quintessential Melbourne coffee stop.
