Things to Do in East End, Melbourne

Melbourne's grand theatrical flank, running around Spring and Exhibition streets beneath Parliament House. The Princess, Comedy, and Her Majesty's theatres anchor an evening district of red-curtained foyers and late dinners, while Treasury Gardens and the Windsor Hotel preserve the 19th-century civic elegance behind the neon marquees.
