Brunswick
About this precinct
Bohemian and buzzing
Located about 6km from Melbourne's CBD, Brunswick is home to between twenty-five and thirty thousand people. Many Melburnians come here for creative events, live music, bridal shopping and unique foodie experiences.
Great for gastronomy
Brunswick has a diverse Mediterranean and European diaspora which has contributed to some of Melbourne's best coffee roasteries, bars and restaurants. Mangia, mangia!
Creative culture
With its galleries, live music scene and public art, Brunswick is one of Melbourne's most 'creative' suburbs (alongside Fitzroy, Collingwood and Footscray). It's also become a co-working hotspot for many freelancers and start-ups.
Historic swivel-necking
Formerly one of Melbourne's most industrious suburbs, Brunswick has many historic bluestone cottages, brick and steel works, churches and restored Victorian and Edwardian homes dating back to the 1800s.
