More information on Rocks Village (The)

A top tourist draw card, the Rocks Village offers shoppers an eclectic mix of the latest in creative Australian designs combined with an historical journey back to the beginnings of Sydney. This is the place to buy Australian-made souvenirs ranging from unique jewelery and ceramics to t-shirts and boomerangs. The weekend market, set up under the eaves of the harbor bridge on George Street, offers handcrafted gifts, whilst the Argyle Center offers local and overseas fashions. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants here, some by the harbor offering great views, others tucked away in the winding back streets boasting cozy courtyards. The Rocks Village is also home to some of Sydney's oldest pubs. Once the slums of Sydney, the sandstone buildings of the Rocks Village are now home to craft and souvenir shops and a popular weekend market.
