Overflowing with cafes, bars, restaurants and shops, the beating heart of Prahran is lively Chapel Street. Attracing throngs of people from across the city, as well as a whole lot of tourists eager to sample the best of trend-setting Melbourne, this street makes for great people-watching. And then there’s the shopping.

When you walk through the doors of total health and wellness studio Sum of Us you’ll feel your shoulders melt and your heartrate slow as your body relaxes. This place does exactly what’s on the label.

For those who do tire of trying a new restaurant every night can always invite guests home instead. The abundance of fresh produce and gourmet delights at nearby Prahran Market will make throwing together a dinner party a cinch.

Housed in a beautiful old bluestone church with stained glass windows, the renowned and quirky Chapel off Chapel is a unique arts venue. Offering an abundance of cultural experiences from cabaret to comedy, dance to visual art, you’re sure to find something to suit your taste.
Small pockets of green dot the backstreets of Prahran – quaint Victoria Gardens retains some of those Victorian features and an oasis of calm, a world away from the hubbub of the nearby main streets. It’s a great spot to take a book, sit down on a bench, and escape from the hubbub beyond.
Prahran’s classic style and old world glamour is characterised by its large collection of architecturally significant commerical buildings. Many of the locale’s period homes hold just as much character.
Beautifully renovated Edwardian and Victorian terraces sit side-by-side with luxury designer apartments. From dawn to dusk, Prahran offers an inner city lifestyle of non-stop fun and decadence you’ll never tire of.
