About Carlton:
Lygon Street in Carlton is Melbourne’s own Little Italy. It is the place where the city’s famous café culture was born, with the arrival of Melbourne’s first espresso machine at one of the street’s Italian-owned cafes in the 1950s.
Further down Lygon Street you’ll find bookshops, galleries and plenty of shops selling the latest European and Australian fashions. The crowd here is mixed – from students at the nearby university, to the literary set buying up big at Readings bookstore and older Italian men just watching the world go by.
How to get there:
Tram: Number 1 or 22 heading north from Swanston Street
Bus: Numbers 20, 201, 203 or 207 from Melbourne Central
Travelling time: 15 minutes.
