Shops began to appear on Brunswick Street as early as the 1840s, and it has seen its share of economic highs and lows. The end of WWII brought many Italians to Fitzroy, and they armed themselves with espresso machines which have kept coffee standards high for Melbournians today, so drink coffee and people watch from street side cafés all day long! Flanked to the North and South by church steeples, the feeling of a great street in a world class city tingles down your spine as you zigzag through locals enjoying their daily routines.
Fashion rules on this trendy street and the style ranges from oppshop kitsch to upscale chic. It has long been known for its thriving music and arts culture due to the various venues that smatter the street. September is time for the Fringe Festival of which calls Brunswick Street its home.
