Melbourne’s Fitzroy is known as one of the most hipster neighbourhoods where young individuals go to party and chill at the local bars, pubs and clubs. This trendy suburb is home to some of Melbourne’s most vibrant painted alleyway and murals. Known for its street art, contemporary music scene and bohemian living, Fitzroy is a must visit for both locals and tourists!

Located 3km North-east of Melbourne’s CBD, Fitzroy was Melbourne’s first suburb established in 1839 for the purposes of industrial progression. It soon did a 180 turn as urban renewal occurred to allow streams of migrants and workers to live there. Since then, it has become one of Melbourne’s most diverse and multicultural neighbourhoods.

As a result, Fitzroy is home to many highly acclaimed food stops and cafes that visitors NEED to visit.
