Worth visiting!
The main drag of Fitzroy is Brunswick St. It used to be quite boho, but it’s much more mainstream now – especially on the weekends – it’s choc-a-block with boguns and normals.
Still, it’s got lots of good restaurants, an eclectic range of shops and lots of activities.
One thing I notice whenever I am there is how young everyone is – there are not many old people hanging out in Brunswick St.
It’s very Melbourne, so it’s worth doing if you are visiting.
Half of Smith St is also in Fitzroy (the other side is Collingwood) and that is a worthwhile visit too for it’s shopping and there are a few nice restaurants and cafes there too. Smith St is infamous for the druggies, drunks and bad buskers hanging outside of Safeway.
And then there is the Spanish quarter in the Johnson St region. Lots of nice food and night spots.
