For shoppers and sighseers alike
The Rocks is undoubtedly one of Sydney's most beautiful areas. Follow George Street until the very end and it’s almost like you’ve stepped back in time - there are cobblestones at your feet, quant stores to browse and great pubs to visit.
One of the best experiences you can have in Sydney is to visit The Rocks Markets, especially on Friday nights during spring and summer for The Rocks Markets by Moonlight. The warmer months in Sydney are the most exciting; pair them with all the beauty of the famous Harbour Bridge, opera house and this historic hub and you’ve got the best version of this amazing city.
There are stalls offering everything from handmade gifts and sweets to unique jewellery and fashion, but the atmosphere is set off by all of the other quirks that you would never have expected - puppeteers and magicians roaming the crowd, dozens of people young and old wearing headphones and dancing at a silent disco, musical performances and pet displays with some of the most enormous cats and rabbits you’ve ever imagined. All of this set among historic buildings and Sydney’s oldest sites makes for a truly unique experience indeed.
