This hip and vibrant Melbourne suburb brings you some of Australia’s best-tasting Asian cuisines, quirkiest finds, and most fashionable stores. Prahran, locally known as Pran, is your choice of destination for dining, shopping, clubbing, and food-hopping. It was way back in the 1890s when Prahran’s first shopping center came into the business. Then years later, the suburb developed into a lively community that rivaled Melbourne Central Business District. Chapel Street is where you find fashionable boutiques that vary in markets and styles; some are quirky, while others are classic and upscale. It’s also the perfect venue to appreciate architecture, including emporiums, town halls, and theaters.
