NEWTOWN, SYDNEY

The Historic 19th Century inner city precinct of Newtown balances classic Victorian Architecture with cutting-edge modern city life. It is home to Sydney's most colourful mix of cosmopolitan and bohemian cultures. All of this prominently on display on King Street, the central Newtown promenade and a mecca of alternative street life. King Street is packed with cheap restaurants, quirky cafes, late night bars, off-beat fashion stores, left-of-centre bookshops, cinemas and much, much more.

"Do King Street" as a local and mingle with the great diversity of its inhabitants: from academics and students from nearby Sydney Uni or School of Performing Arts, to the musicians, punks, poets and artists who have all made Newtown their home. Newtown is renown for having the highest concentration of independent theatres and live performance spaces in Sydney.
