Shame the Valhalla cinema closed down. I think it's a bit tired and in need of a makeover. The Glebe markets are worth looking at. Very studenty. More

I love Glebe, theres never a dull moment & a huge variety of shops, services, food choices and plenty of colourful characters to keep you entertained. The markets are fun & Broadway shopping centre is just of Glebe Pt Rd. There is a beautiful park opposite the beginning of Glebe Pt rd & fantastic bus or tram options. More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2012

This suburb has seen several metamorphises. It was once expensive, then fell into hard times and was a slum full of students going to sydney university (nearby). It is now again an expensive suburb with lovely federation (Victorian) houses. It is fairly cramped with narrow roads. Sections closer to the university are still sub standard and a bit seedy. More

I am not sure what is not to like about Glebe. Lack of good hotels.. Anyway, nice restaurants and cafes abound. Lovely architecture, just down the side streets. One of my fave Sydney suburbs. Lots of culture too. Book stores, etc. More

This little inner city suburb contains lovely harbourside houses, many terrace style restored with panache and style.There are also newer developments, but the general air of the location is of conservation and preservation. The shops are well infused with local businesses, and chain stores are rare. There are plenty of cafes and bars to pass the time away in, and... More
