Kings Cross Sydney

Lively Kings Cross is often viewed as the sleazy end of Sydney with its many clubs, strip joints and exciting nightlife. By night it is best known as a red-light district, but by day, it lures tourists with its unique style, boasting chic cafes, bars/restaurants, art galleries and theatres.

The ‘Cross’ district is surrounded by the popular precincts of Darlinghurst with its flamboyant Oxford Street filled with designer fashion, shops, café strip and strong gay community.

A more upmarket Potts Point houses old-style grand apartments with classy restaurants and an exclusive atmosphere.

Between Sydney centre and the Cross is Woolloomooloo, an older part of the city, boasting a strong arts scene. Its narrow streets have now been revived.

The heart of Kings Cross Sydney Australia is ‘The Strip’ along Darlinghurst Road, filled with a mix of entertainment, eateries, sex, hostels and hotels. It is a must-see, colourful and vibrant part of the city attracting locals, tourists and backpackers alike.

Sydney buses run regularly along Oxford Street. Bus # 324 and 325 travel through the city to Kings Cross. Parking is available behind Fitzroy Gardens at the underground car park on Elizabeth Bay Rd. Contact Sydney Visitor Centre NSW for information, maps and timetables.
