Darlinghurst is a gritty, bustling & creative suburb, just a stone’s throw from Sydney’s CBD.

Oxford St is the main drag, leading all the way from the CBD to Bondi, with enticing diversions, side streets and laneways along the way. Here you’ll find world-class dining, indie retail, small bars, cafe culture and art hubs. We’re the spiritual home to Sydney’s LGBTQI+ community with night-time action to spare ;) As one of Sydney’s oldest, grandest and infamous suburbs, you’ll walk amongst sandstone mansions, heritage buildings and victorian terraces, that mingle happily with contemporary architecture and design. With secret laneway gardens, street art and cafe’s on almost every corner - walking through Darlo is definitely the way to go.

For more ideas on exploring the neighbourhood, hit up the tab called HUBS. If it’s a specific theme you’re after, look at DO DARLO. If you’re planning to visit for one of our world-famous hapennings, EVENTS gives you the latest. If you have an ABN and a can-do attitude, then become a MEMBER of the local Chamber of Commerce, who proudly present to you this site…
