For funky fashions and cheap-eat restaurants serving up everything from North African to Vietnamese choose Newtown, or for fashion boutiques and chic inner city atmosphere with an alternative side try Oxford Street. It leads up to the fashionable suburb of Paddington.
Pick up a bargain at one of Sydney’s many outdoor markets such as
The Rocks Market, Balmain and Paddington markets or the famed
Paddy’s Markets, Sydney’s biggest market with two locations at
Haymarket and Flemington.
Known for its attractive Victorian terraces with cast-iron lace
detailing, Paddington is regarded by many as the place to spot the
latest trends in fashion, cuisine and design in Sydney. Bustling Oxford
Street is lined with fashion and shoe salons, as well as homeware
stores, cafés and restaurants. William Street has vintage boutiques,
handmade shoes and an exquisite chocolate shop. Just up the road in
upmarket Woollahra is Queen Street, famous for its array of antique
shops, art galleries and jewellery shops
