The Rocks, in the heart of Australia's most cosmopolitan city, encompasses the past, present and future. The Indigenous Cadigal people inhabited the rocky headland, now known as The Rocks, and the surrounding shoreline for thousands of years. In 1788, Australia's first European settlers -- British convicts and their overseers -- claimed the land and built their camp atop the sandstone cliffs.

Today, The Rocks, nestled between Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, represents the historic district of Sydney. Discover the stories hidden in the cobblestone alleyways and historic buildings in a fascinating walking tour, or just guide yourself through an area soaked in history.

The Rocks, with its shops, some of the best restaurants in Sydney and magical views of the harbour, is a unique destination not to be missed.
