Abbotsford Convent

By Leah

Abbotsford Convent

The Abbotsford Convent is a multi-faceted arts and culture precinct, an oasis away from the busyness that surrounds it. The Convent was established in 1863 by four nuns from the Good Shepherd Order as a place where they could care for women. After it was sold, in 1975, locals fought hard to keep it from being developed into apartments and won!

Everything you could want in one place. Love the food court here. They have great options for ALL tastes (even vegans!) Great cinema here (recliner seats in normal cinemas) and they even have a LEGO museum for kids to enjoy!

Best record store in Melbourne

Dixons Recycled

Great selection, prices, and staff. The location couldn't be better, easy access to parking and public transport. Not to mention the joys of experiencing a stroll up Brunswick street when you're done. Fitzroy is a gold mine for vinyl but this might be the biggest nugget of all.

A different side of the classic QVM

Wednesday Night Market

Each summer Melbourne’s iconic Queen Victoria Market puts on a special treat in the Wednesday Night Market. Unlike the daytime market, the Night Market is less about kitsch souvenirs and more about artisan goods. The night market has a great range of local products for your Wednesday night shopping fix and a range of live entertainment.

The Prettiest Bookstore in the City

Hill of Content Bookshop

Even if you're not going to buy a book, Hill of Content is a feast for the eyes. The narrow shopfront of the multi-storey bookstore hides what's really going inside. The friendly staff have arranged hundreds of titles across every genre on charming wooden cases and tables, and the old wooden staircases are a marvel to tread on.
