The Rocks is Sydney's most visited place! The area preserves the Colonial Sydney with its original buildings and cobble street lanes. Now celebrated as one of Sydney's most prestigious places, The Rocks explodes with life during holidays and celebrations, with outdoor entertainment, street theatre and busking.

A walk down George Street from the centre of Sydney CBD and through its historic streets reveals magnificently restored buildings, an abundance of original shops, award winning restaurants, world class hotels, outdoor cafes, markets and historic pubs.

The Rocks offers views of Sydney Harbour at every turn, right the way down to the harbour and under the Harbour Bridge at Dawes Point. This is an historic village without parallel right in the city of Sydney. A must for all who come to Sydney to visit and experience for themselves.
