Woolloomooloo is an excellent home base for exploring Sydney, especially its central business district (CBD). It is primarily known for Finger Wharf, which offers amazing city and harbor views. Established in the early 20th century as a wool-shipping wharf, the building has been restored to house residential apartments and restaurants. While here, you can see many famous attractions nearby. You can enjoy the rich entertainment scene at Darling Harbour which is located at a distance of 4.1 km (2.5 mi) from Woolloomooloo. Moreover, the city’s proximity to International Convention & Exhibition Centre (ICC) Sydney makes it attractive for business travelers.
