The Rocks is a neighbourhood of historic laneways in the shadow of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Locals and tourists mingle at the open-air Rocks Markets, purchasing street food and handmade fashions. The area has some of Sydney’s oldest pubs and many of the upscale restaurants have harbour views. The Museum of Contemporary Art offers local and international exhibits. The Rocks is easily accessible from the Sydney CBD, being just a short walk from Circular Quay
The Rocks is one of the oldest parts of Sydney, dating back to the late 18th century when it was established as the site of the first European settlement in Australia in 1788. Many of the original buildings and streets in The Rocks were constructed by convicts, and the area’s history is closely tied to its penal colony origins.
