Carlton is more than just pizza (although I’ll be sharing where to get a great one)! Its well-preserved streetscapes are full of stories that trace the historical events and cultural shifts that shaped Melbourne into the vibrant, multicultural city we know today.
- Explore Carlton’s rich migrant history and its darker side.
- Take a break for coffee and cake on Lygon St, making like part of the "Carlton Push."
