Inner West Region

Sydney’s Inner West is a patchwork of eclectic neighbourhoods where Victorian terraces sit alongside street art, microbreweries and some of the city’s best eating. From the vintage shops of Newtown and the multicultural restaurants of Marrickville to the parks and bays of Balmain, the district pulses with energy and creativity. Weekends are for markets, live music at the pub and lingering over coffee in leafy courtyards. Locals know the back lanes where colourful murals change with the seasons, and they frequent an unassuming bowling club that doubles as a live music venue and community gathering point, far removed from the busy main streets.
