Editorial


Whether you're a Sydney tourist or a local, chances are you've spent an entire day at Darling Harbour. This striking Sydney icon has been in action since the 1800's and is one of Australia's most visited attractions. Situated on the western outskirts of the CBD just a short scenic ferry ride from Circular Quay, Darling Harbour is totally stuffed full of activities to suit just about anyone. With precincts dedicated to restaurants and cafe dining, shopping malls and outlet stores all being topped off by breathtaking views of the city and waterfront, Darling Harbour embodies the picturesque beauty and lifestyle of Sydney.

This glorious harbour also possesses a multitude of cultural delights. With the Australian Maritime Museum, the Sydney Galleries and the Powerhouse Museum on offer, discovering the history and stories of Australia's rich cultural history is easy. You can also get your underwater fix at the Sydney Aquarium which boasts the world's largest collection of all-Australian aquatic life.

More than just a shopping and dining precinct, Darling Harbour is a lifestyle and cultural hotspot where tourists and locals can come together and experience the magic of Sydney. Since being transformed over 21 years ago, Darling Harbour has also become synonymous with festivals and major events including music concerts, Fiesta, Hoopla and Sydney's famous Australia Day fireworks extravaganza.
