Central Sydney
This guide divides inner Sydney into
six distinct areas, each of which has its
own chapter. Most city sights are
contained in these areas. The Rocks and
Circular Quay is the oldest part of inner
Sydney, while the City Centre is today's
central business district. The Botanic
Gardens and The Domain form a green
oasis almost in the heart of the city. To
the west lies Darling Harbour, which
includes Sydney's Chinatown. To the east
are Kings Cross and Darlinghurst, hub of
the café culture, and Paddington,
an area that still retains its
19th-century character.
