Albert Park

Surrounded by parkland and characterised by elegant Victorian architecture Albert Park is synonymous with style and sophistication. 

Bridport Street has become renowned for its upmarket retailers and trendy cafes where Melbourne's cool crowd gathers for brunch, lunch and everything in-between.

A stroll around Albert Park is a must - start with the magnificent terrace homes of St Vincent's Place, then explore the rose gardens and exquisite fretwork of the many Victorian cottages that line every street in Albert Park. Behind the façade of many of these Victorian cottages and terraces lies a hive of activity as Albert Park has increasingly become the home of specialist advertising and marketing companies, architects, graphic designers and other boutique small businesses.

Albert Park is only minutes from the foreshore, with a short stroll or tram ride down Victoria Avenue. A relaxed pace is recommended, as there's yet more dining options and tempting retail stores at which to browse and window-shop.
