Shops, restaurants, outdoor cafes, beautiful visitor centers, old buildings, cobblestone streets and breweries all over Sydney's bustling historic district. It's a must-see and the atmosphere is very good. We enjoyed a pleasant lunch and drink at the outdoor table in The Tap Room. It is a short walk from the ring pier, which is especially good if you arrive by cruise ship. You can also easily access affordable ferry on the pier to explore the harbour. It is also a hub for buses and trains.
