Newtown is the hub of Sydney’s bohemian culture and is an eclectic mix of alternative cultures, ethnicity, sexuality and lifestyles.

Newtown is a suburb that blends class, grunge and alternative lifestyles, with a great nightlife, that regularly plays host to a number of live bands.

In Newtown, you'll find the highest concentration of independent theatres and live performance venues in Sydney.

The best place to start is a walk up the famous King St, where you'll find bookshops, cafes and plenty of unique clothing stores. This street joins with Enmore Road, where you'll find shops and a wide variety of cafes and restaurants.

Make sure as well, to check out the St Peters end of King St. This area is well-renowned for its quirky specialist shops.

This streetscape is listed on the Register of the National Estate and is perhaps Sydney's largest and best example of 19th Century commercial street architecture.

It's definitely worth the train or bus trip to explore all the venues, brilliant shopping, cafés, restaurants and array of ethnic cuisines that Newtown has to offer.
