Street starts at Fitsroy Street and ends as it reaches Barkly Street
where the landmark Village Bell Hotel is located. Acland Street offers
bookshops, arts & crafts, cake shops and wonderfully diverse eating
houses. The architecture along Acland Street is as diverse as it's
people and provides a wonderful insight into our local history. Serviced
by numerous transport routes such as the light rail-No96 tram and the
historical No 16 tram route which takes you along the fabulous tree
lined Boulevard of St.Kilda Road from the city. The Light rail only
takes 13 minutes. Taxi services are numerous and the average fare is

Park's biggest mouth in the south - that's the bayside beauty of
Acland Street. Some of the best-known businesses on this lively St Kilda
strip are the Dog's
Bar, Harley Court Pastry and Cosmos Books & Music. While there,
you might bump into a musician or two as the suburb is home to many
Melbourne artists. Acland Street is easily reached by tram or bus but
bring your patience if you're coming by car as parking spaces are scarce.
In summer, a stroll
for ice-cream and fresh air is ideal on the weekend while winter offers
the cosy indoor scene of lavish cream cakes and herbal tea. You'll find
retro, second-hand clothing as well as record stores, florists, art
galleries and cafes. Don't miss the hippest homeware hang, Holy
Sheet! It doesn't matter what colour your hair
is or how many nose rings you have - this street is as diverse and as
accommodating as they come.
