Cannonborough-Elliotborough

A local, relaxed neighborhood with good coffee and casual restaurants, and the best budget base in the city. It is quiet after dark, so plan on a ride in the evening.

Cannonborough-Elliotborough sits just west of King Street, and a lot of locals live and eat here. Restored historic houses share the streets with small restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops, and it feels like a residential neighborhood more than a tourist area. It is quieter than Upper King and much emptier after dark, so streets can feel deserted late in the evening, though the blocks near the busier roads see more mixed foot traffic. Walking is easy in the daytime, and the casual restaurants and craft coffee are a good reason to come. Most places have counters or bars for solo diners. The city's hostel is here, which makes it the main budget base, and the main sights are a 10-15 minute walk away. Take a rideshare back at night, especially after 10 PM.
