The Rocks

  Dating back to the early days of Sydney, The Rocks sits adjacent to the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. This historic district, once home to convicts and seamen, features narrow cobbled streets lined with well-preserved buildings from the 19th century. A primary attraction is the bustling weekend markets held every Saturday and Sunday, offering unique artisanal goods and local crafts. Along George Street, visitors can explore various galleries, pubs, and cafes that showcase the area’s rich history. Plan a visit in April for the annual Sakura Matsuri, where cherry blossoms bloom, adding a lovely touch to this vibrant neighborhood.
