Carlton

Melbourne

A large white building with a dome and a flag, surrounded by trees and a pond.
A park with a large white building, leaf-covered ground, and people walking.
A park with a pathway, trees, and a building in the background.
A large dinosaur skeleton exhibit in a modern building with glass railings and a high ceiling.
A two-story building with ornate iron railings and a green door.

Pull up a seat in the street that taught Melbourne how to eat. La dolce vita lives on in Carlton, the city’s traditional Italian heartland.

Like a freshly brewed espresso, Carlton packs a punch. Traditional Italian dining is this neighbourhood’s forte and you’re not likely to forget it. You might want to practice saying, “No, I don’t have any room for gelato”, before you take a walk down Lygon Street, Carlton’s famous dining strip. With a cosy cinema and old-fashioned pubs, Carlton has a community vibe that will keep you coming back for more.
