Discover some of the thousands of stories and people connected with the social, commercial and architectural history of this grand building. MELTours has uncovered many of the little known treasures related to the station seen by many people as the landmark of Melbourne. Cost here...

Your tour starts off under the clocks which has been Melbourne's favourite meeting for decades. From there it takes you over the concourse, along its platforms and through its subways as you are taken back in time to the period of romantic travel.

Access to the Ballroom is not possible due to State Government requirements sorry. However, there is more to the station than just the Ballroom! Hear about the first juice bar in Melbourne from 1926, a visual swindle by the original buildiers and more!

Premier of Victoria Ted Baillieu is launching the $1M architectural competition soon so people such as University students completing competition assignments can learn more about the station first hand.

Gain a better appreciation of the station as passenger numbers rise again due to increasing fuel charges. People flows will become crucial as new bottlenecks could be found particularly with Myki use.

Housekeeping
All guides are First Aid Level 2 qualified but please notify us if you have any outstanding health issues. Some stairs are involved with the tour and can't be avoided unfortunately. We ensure that we stay safe and behind the yellow line on platforms at all times. As we will be in a busy transportation hub we always look out for your safety.

The Flinders St Station Tour starts under the clocks in keeping with local tradition! This is a walking tour so wear suitable footwear and please arrive 10 minutes early to ensure the tour starts on time. It takes around 2 hours and is limited to 20 people and platform tickets are included.

Rest stops are provided where possible during the tour but if there are concerns about the tour length, we offer 1, 1.5 or 2 hour itineraries and rain is no barrier as we have the station's roof to count on.

Regrettably Jenny Davies is no longer available to run Flinders St Station tours. All such tours will now be conducted by other MELTours guides.
