Sydney’s Iconic Sights: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
Overview
Sydney’s oldest neighbourhood, The Rocks, is bursting with history, culture, and world-famous sights. On this self-guided walking tour, where iconic landmarks meet unforgettable stories, you’ll experience the city’s lively energy and unique Aussie spirit firsthand.
The tour begins at the stately Customs House, a grand building from 1845, where Sydney’s early settlers once arrived. You’ll pass through Herald Square, filled with eye-catching sculptures and fountains, before stopping for a taste of colonial charm at the legendary Fortune of War, Sydney’s oldest pub, where early residents shared a pint and a tale.
The tour ends at the Sydney Opera House and Opera Bar with breathtaking views of another of the city’s crown jewels, the Harbour Bridge, the colossal ”Coathanger” that stretches across the harbour.
