What to Do?
The Rocks Walking Tour
The Rocks Walking Tours’ specialist trained local guides provide walking tours within the heart of historic and picturesque Rocks precinct, departing daily at 10:30am and 1:30pm from their office handily located within The Rocks. Weave your way through hidden narrow alleyways, along charming cobbled lanes and into shady courtyards and linger by quaint terrace cottages. Some of these sites could be overlooked by a casual unguided visitor.
Tour highlights include harbour views of Sydney’s Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Cadman’s Cottage, Sydney CBD’s oldest surviving cottage built in 1816 and the awe inspiring Argyle Cut. Within The Rocks historic precinct, wander through George Street, Greenway Lane, Kendall Lane, Rocks Square, Playfair Street, Foundation Park, Suez Canal and Nurses Walk and much more!

Walking through lanes and by-lanes to get to unique locations in The Rocks
Such a helpful guide! Unfortunately I didn’t get to visit The Rocks neighborhood when I was in Sydney years ago, but I’ll definitely bookmark this post for when I plan my return visit. And Le Pain Quotidien looks like it definitely provides for a cool dining experience!
Oh yes Dana, The Rocks is the best place to experience Sydney… it brings a lot of character to the city that is famous for its white sails of the Opera House. The lanes and by-lanes are the best to explore as it has a lot of interesting stories! Our guide did a fantastic job transporting us back in time! They even have a Ghost Tour which I am yet to experience. 🙂
You’ve made Sydney look so lovely. The view from the YHA is just magically. Perfect day to be near the water. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Interesting….
I love the Rocks. There’s just so many layers of history there. And Le Pain Quotidien? My fave place to eat breakfast!
Sydney is one of the world’s great cities … and even in winter, it’s quite a delightful place to be weatherwise!
Very handsome architecture, Rosemarie, especially silhouetted against such a brilliant blue sky. I just love the restoration and repurposing of old industrial architecture. What an asset to Sydney–would love to visit!
