Firozry, just a 10 minute tram or taxi ride north of the city centre, is an alternative haven full of street art, retro clothing and live music. Walk along Brunswick Street, Fitzroy’s main artery, or head to Gertrude Street for local fashion designers. Discover bars such as Bad Frankie, which specialises in Australian spirits, escape to the tiki-themed tropical paradise of The LuWow, or survey the whole ‘hood from the rooftop bar Naked in the Sky. Don’t forget to shop at Rose Street Artists’ Market, and pick up a pastry from Lune Croissanterie.
