Introduction
The Rocks is the birthplace of Sydney and has been transformed into a tourist precinct since 1970. Located in the shore of the bustling Sydney Harbour, , the Rocks houses ancient colonial buildings which are now transformed into bars, restaurants, galleries and souvenir shops. The Cadman`s Cottage next to the Sydney Visitor Centre is a historic residential building dating back to 1845. Although the Rocks is not large, there are quite a lot of activities. If you want to learn more about the early history of Sydney, you can take a ghost tour around the Rocks, walk through the alleys illuminated by lanterns, and listen to the legendary stories.

It’s a very nice place to visit. you can see the opera house under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. There is a big green area under the bridge where you can bring your food and do picnic. highly recommend people to visit on Sundays as they have a Sunday market with plenty of stores selling souvenirs and food. There are a lot of coffee shops and bars and bistro around the area so you can easily get a drinks and chill few hours there. It is jist walking distance to the Sydney Opera House.
Awesome place to be in on weekends where the markets are hap, great atmosphere. walked in further of the rocks along the bay, will bring you to pylon lookout for the great view of harbour and opera house.
this is the best area in sydney and one of the best hotels is the Pier One hotel. so close to restaurants and cafes in a secluded part of town.
