Running roughly parallel to the Yarra River, Flinders Street forms the southern edge of the Hoddle Grid. It extends eastwards as far as Spring Street and the Treasury Gardens , and westwards past Batman's Hill to the Melbourne Docklands. As the closest street to the river, Flinders Street serviced Melbourne's original river port. Customs House , now the site for Victoria's Immigration Museum , is situated on Flinders Street.

The street is home to Flinders Street Station, the central station in Melbourne's suburban rail network. Tram routes 48 , 70 and 75, as well as the City Circle route, run along Flinders Street.

Other landmarks on Flinders Street include Federation Square, the Melbourne Aquarium and Batman Park , which adjoins the Yarra River.

Flinders Street was named for navigator and cartographer Matthew Flinders.
