Crown Towers Sydney, Barangaroo
Barangaroo is Sydney's newest and buzziest waterside precinct. An ambitious urban renewal project transformed this former container terminal into a hub boasting beautiful parkland, fantastic shopping, delicious restaurants and innovative architecture, including Crown Towers Sydney which was completed in 2021.
Barangaroo is named after a powerful 18th-century Cammeraygal woman who was an interlocutor with Governor Arthur Phillip, the captain of the First Fleet in 1788. Learn about her and Sydney Harbour's rich Indigenous history with Barangaroo Aboriginal Cultural Tours.

Explore the beauty of Barangaroo Reserve, adjacent to Walsh Bay and Millers Point. This landscaped park boasts more than 75,000 native trees and shrubs and thousands of sandstone blocks. Most were extracted onsite to create the Cutaway, a cavernous below-ground art, performance and festival space that’s located underneath the headland near pretty Nawi Cove. The venue hosts an exciting array of exhibitions and shows – check out the events calendar for what's on.
Make the most of the cycle paths and ride from Walsh Bay through Barangaroo Reserve and along Wulugul Walk to Darling Harbour, or take a harbour dip in the new netted enclosure Marrinawi Cove.

Shopping in Barangaroo is a lot like browsing the boutiques in Surry Hills, which is no surprise as the precinct handpicked the best independent shops from that postcode and asked them to set up shop here. Some favourites include Modarte for made-to-measure suites, Nina Armando for handcrafted footwear and Title for books, especially the 'wow' coffee-table kind.
