About The Rocks

The Rocks, that square of Sydney where one can breathe the essence of the city's soul. This neighborhood marks the birthplace of modern Sydney and is saturated with historic highlights and a plethora of fabulous old buildings and great restaurants. The place is crammed with locally handcrafted art pieces, street food, handmade fashion accessories, retro pubs, and restaurants. Flaunting the Beguile harbor view, the rocks enchant all. Marked with a variety of artists exhibiting their skills along the pavements the aura is magical and idyllic. Weekends witness an outpour of high-grade stalls swamping with visitors. The Museum of Contemporary Art is a great attraction to exhibit local and international artistic inheritance.
