The Sydney Visitors Centre

This elegant building, located near Circular Quay, dates from 1865 and was formerly known as The Sailor's Home. It is now the site of Sydney's main visitor information center, which covers both the city and regional New South Wales. The helpful, multilingual staff assists clients to source a wide range of brochures, maps and other publications and arrange tour bookings. There is also a limited hotel booking service together with a sales desk selling the latest guidebooks. A free exhibition tracing the history of Sydney is located on the next two floors.
