Melbourne and surrounds - St Kilda
St
Kilda, Melbourne’s favourite playground, was once a seaside
resort for genteel Melburnians to take the sea air. In the 1960s and
1970s it fell out of favour and took on a seedier edge, but today
its racy atmosphere has largely been replaced by a race to the next
alfresco table.
On weekends, Melburnians flock here to walk, cycle and skate
along the palm-lined foreshore or to sit in an outdoor café with a
coffee – or something a little stronger – and take in the panoramic
views of Port Phillip Bay.
Away from the foreshore, you’ll find much of St Kilda’s
activity concentrated in Fitzroy and Acland streets. Fitzroy Street
is renowned for its cool cafes, restaurants and bars, with tables
spilling onto the footpath, and is one of Melbourne’s most
attractive eating and drinking streets. Nearby Acland Street is
a bustling, vibrant street with an eclectic mix of restaurants,
wine bars and continental cake shops. During the day the streets are
lined with people drinking lattes; at night they’re buzzing with
clubbers and night owls.
