It is immediately adjacent to Circular Quay on Sydney Cove, the site of Australia's first European settlement in 1788
Established after the colony’s formation in 1788

The area had a reputation as a slum, often frequented by sailors
Views of Sydney Harbour Bridge as well of the historic nature of many of the buildings makes the Rocks a popular place to visit
