Sydney Harbour Bridgeclimb
Museum of Contemporary Art for Vivid

Arts and culture with an historic edge

This harbourside precinct is one of Sydney’s liveliest arts precincts. A full calendar of Sydney events throughout the year offers the best of dance, theatre, visual arts and an annual writers’ festival.

About The Rocks and Walsh Bay

Bursting with a colourful history dating back to convict days, The Rocks is a maze of sandstone lanes, cul-de-sacs and courtyards, jam-packed with shops, great cafes and some of Sydney City best dining. You can easily explore The Rocks on foot, on a bike tour or join a late-night ghost tour.

Nearby Walsh Bay, on the western side of the Harbour Bridge, is an exciting arts precinct that’s home to Sydney Theatre Company, Bangarra Dance Company and Sydney Dance Company. An easy, harbourside heritage walk takes you past some of Sydney’s oldest wharves and heritage buildings.
