Melbourne's gay-friendly precincts

Tram

Melbourne is a city of intoxicating options. In one day, you can rollerblade beachside at St Kilda, rack up designer wear in South Yarra, have a beer in Abbotsford and then hit the dance floor in Prahran's gay nightclubs. And that's just the start. While Melbourne as a whole is gay-friendly, there are some precincts that are favourites for both gay and lesbian visitors and locals.

Alannah Hill

South Yarra and Prahran

Shop 'til you drop surrounded by designer fashion. The vast mix of Australian and internationally renowned designer label and fashion boutiques, chic cafes and bars make this area an irresistible temptation for the fashion conscious.

Fitzroy

Fitzroy and Carlton

Discover bohemian Melbourne in Fitzroy. An edgy mix of alternative, artistic and trendy elements, it has a fascinating collection of young designer and retro clothes shops, bookshops, galleries, cafes and restaurants, and a vibrant nightlife.

Luna Park

St Kilda

See and be seen on the streets of St Kilda. 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 and watch the world go by.
