Why Stay in Fitzroy

Fitzroy is one of Melbourne’s most walkable, character-filled neighbourhoods — think vintage stores, laneway bars and a genuine local scene rather than a tourist strip. As Time Out’s Fitzroy guide notes, the suburb is known for its arty, unconventional feel, with tram links running straight through its centre. Basing yourself here means the CBD, MCG and Rod Laver Arena are all a short tram ride away, while some of Melbourne’s best food and nightlife is right outside your door.
