Why to visit George Street

George Street is one of Sydney's business districts, home to some of the country's largest global corporations. The majority of Australia's Top 100 listed businesses are located in this region. Despite the fact that it is merely a regular street, it has become a tourist destination due to the large buildings and several corporate headquarters.

Since most of Sydney's leading businesses are located here, this street remains one of the busiest in the city. The Boulevard has a lot of high-rise buildings, and you'll usually see business folks walking about. The skyline of the area is breathtaking, and you will enjoy your visit to this street.

A variety of architectural styles can be found here. Gleaming high-rise office towers rub elbows with old structures. The exquisite Romanesque-style Queen Victoria Building, which features delicate domes, stained-glass windows, and elevated stores, is a highlight.

There are many shopping options such as The Queen Victoria Building has a number of high-end businesses, and the Victorian-style Strand Arcade is lined with designer boutiques and jewellery stores. Pitt Street Mall, one block east of George Street, is one of the city's major retail districts if you're seeking for more affordable name brands.

Nearby, the Sydney Town Hall (1869), a major city landmark with a hodgepodge of architectural styles (it's been compared to a lavishly decorated wedding cake), is a key city landmark with a medley of architectural styles. The neo-Gothic St. Andrew's Cathedral, which was finished and consecrated in 1868, is another architectural highlight.

Special Tip

If you are hungry, there are dozens of restaurants, outdoor cafes, and rooftop pubs to pick from. Columbia Restaurant, where the "1905" salad is suggested, Florida Cracker Café, which is particularly family-friendly, and Bunnery Bakery & Café, which provides outstanding coffee and breakfast products, are some of the local favourites along St. George Street.
