The Rocks

The Rocks is the oldest suburb in Sydney. It is located in the CBD, with Circular Quay on one side and the Harbour Bridge on the other. It is characterised by old small bricks buildings, which remind Europe somehow. Many busses in the city can bring you there, or it is possible to arrive by train. The closest stop is Circular Quay, but Wynyard is less than ten minutes’ walk. In the Rocks there are many nice cafes and restaurants. Among others if it is your first time in Sydney, you should go to Pancake on The Rocks to experience a typical brunch with pancakes. However, in The Rocks you can experience different cuisine, mainly from Europe. You can find a German restaurant, a French Café, a Belgian Café, and of course many pubs. Walking in those streets with many little shops reminds England. Moreover, in the Rocks is located the Museum of Contemporary Art, which offers many interesting expositions, with no entry fee. The museum has also a café with a nice view. From the Rocks it is possible to reach the Harbour Bridge walk, from which you can take many pictures! The Rocks is a unique place in Sydney worth exploring in all its narrow streets, cafes, restaurants, and pubs!
