WELCOME TO WALSH BAY
Sydney's Harbourside Arts & Dining Hub

Walsh Bay is a fusion of 21st Century urban living just a short stroll from the heart of Sydney. This cultural hub mixes a rich history with vibrant creativity and panoramic harbour views. Maritime wharves have been converted to trendy apartments whilst others house performing arts venues, theatres, restaurants and cafes. Walsh Bay Arts and Commerce welcomes you to this stunning waterfront precinct and invites you to enjoy what has for so long been Sydney’s best kept secret.
