Darling Harbour was initially referred to as the Long Cove, but its name was changed back in 1826 in memory of the then Governor Ralph Darling. It has since become an iconic part of Sydney’s vibe and culture.

The Australian National Maritime Museum will not disappoint. Enjoy guided tours on restored ships and get a glimpse into the naval world as you explore the museum. The Powerhouse Museum is also worth checking out, with its most prominent display being the oldest operational steam engine – the Whitbread Engine.
