Sydney is full of districts that dazzle in nightlife, monumental structures and entertainment options. One such district is Central Business District which is also Australia's main financial and economic centre, as well as a leading hub of economic activity for the Asia-Pacific region. Culturally, the city centre is Sydney's focal point for nightlife and entertainment. It is also home to some of the city's most significant buildings and structures. Some of the most important cultural attractions here are:

• The Museum of Sydney
• The State Library of New South Wales
• The Customs House branch of the City of Sydney Library
• The Theatre Royal, the City Recital Hall
• Japan Foundation

Popularly called as CBD, this area features a juxtaposition of old and new architecture. The old architecture dates back to Sydney's earliest days as a colony, down to the more grandiose Victorian architecture from the Gold rush era. Modern architectures take form as high rises and skyscrapers, which are prolific among all of Sydney's city streets.

• Nearest train station: St. James station
