Balmain

Perched on a picturesque peninsula in Sydney's inner west, Balmain and Rozelle are home to a quirky mix of art galleries and flea markets, fashionable boutiques, and some of the city's best cafes, restaurants and pubs. With its handsome 19th century sandstone buildings, colourful working-class heritage and village atmosphere, this eclectic waterside enclave offers a laid-back inner-city alternative.
