๐Ÿท๏ธ Character

Glebe

A bohemian enclave where bookshops, cafes, and weekend markets line the main street. Harbour foreshore walks and proximity to Sydney Uni give it an intellectual, laid-back charm.

BohemianMarketsInner CityUniversity Precinct

Newtown

Sydney's alternative heart, where King Street's endless parade of cuisines, vintage shops, and live music venues creates an eclectic, proudly diverse atmosphere. It's weird, wonderful, and utterly walkable.
