The central business district streets are laid out in The Hoddle Grid layout.
Although not part of Hoddle's original plans, Melbourne has a number of significant lanes which the city has become notable for. Many of these lanes are used for commercial purposes, some have become covered arcades.
Among Melbourne's more significant lanes is Bank Place, a small enclave of heritage listed buildings including Mitre Tavern. Block Place, Degraves Street and Centre Place are popular for their funky cafe culture. Hardware Lane and McKillop Street towards the financial district are popular with office workers, Punch Lane is one of the more popular of the many wine bar lanes which litter the city.
