A must see for travellers who enjoy a diverse selection of pubs and restaurants. We spent most of an evening walking government street and visited a few of the pub/restaurants for drinks and appetizers.

The best street to walk in Victoria . From there you see other nice street’s to go to. It is very safe and lots of restaurants & shops there. Can’t live victoria with out visiting government st.
