This week’s travel photo is of some historic buildings at The Rocks in Sydney, Australia. The Rocks is a beautiful area right on Sydney Harbour located between Circular Quay and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The 19th century warehouse buildings have been beautifully preserved, and this area is lovely to walk around and enjoy a meal or a drink.
More about The Rocks in Sydney
The Rocks is nestled between the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay. As the site of the first European settlement in Australia in 1788, The Rocks is rich with colonial heritage, cobbled laneways, and restored 19th-century buildings that once housed convicts, soldiers, and sailors. Today, the area blends its fascinating past with a vibrant cultural and social scene. You can explore museums such as The Rocks Discovery Museum, browse weekend markets, and join guided walking tours that reveal tales of convicts, rebellion, and urban renewal.
Beyond its historical charm, The Rocks is a lively destination for dining and entertainment. Its streets are lined with pubs (some of Sydney’s oldest), boutique shops, art galleries, and cafés offering harbor views. The area also hosts regular events and festivals, including outdoor cinema nights and art installations.
