From imposing banks to opulent shops and old warehouses, much of Sydney’s commercial history can be seen in its buildings.
Sydney’s shops demonstrate the evolution of retailing from elaborate Victorian shopping arcades to multi-storey department stores.
This walk will take you through the heart of the City’s financial and retail district — Martin Place, George Street and Pitt Street — pointing out landmarks, their architectural features and the history behind them.
