Cuba Street
Happy to lend itself to somewhat of a bohemian feel, you’ll find vintage shops galore on Cuba, alongside the abundance of world class cafés, restaurants and bars.
On any given day you’ll see buskers playing instruments, flash mobs dancing to Spanish music and small children engrossed in the bucket fountain water feature that marks the city’s innermost playground.
A neighbourhood for any time, you’d be forgiven for eating, sleeping, drinking and dancing all in the perimeter of Cuba Street and not feeling like you’re missing anything at all.
