Sydney - City Center

Sydney's long, narrow city center is traversed longitudinally by two main streets, George Street and Pitt Street. All the important businesses, offices and shops are situated near these two streets, between the Rocks, the area fringing the harbor, in the north and Central Station in the south.

The Rocks is now magnificently restored, and is linked by the Harbour Bridge (opened 1932) with North Sydney. Here too, on the harbor, is Sydney's principal sight, the new Opera House. On the west side of the central area is Darling Harbour, also finely restored in recent years.
