Once industrial, now impossibly cool, with craft breweries, Vietnamese bakeries, and creative studios filling converted warehouses. Its multicultural soul and village charm attract a diverse, engaged community.
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.
