Introduction

Darling Harbour is a waterfront leisure and entertainment district west of central Sydney. Once old docks, it now rings the bay with restaurants, bars, malls and several popular venues. SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, Madame Tussauds, the Australian National Maritime Museum and the Chinese Garden of Friendship all gather here, great for families and casual fun. Harbour cruises, a Ferris wheel and regular night light-and-fireworks shows add to the buzz. At night, lights from both shores reflect on the water and dining bars fill with laughter, a top spot for Sydney nightlife and family getaways.
