Haymarket is located at the southern end of the Sydney CBD and is a hub for multiple forms of public transport.

Haymarket sits adjacent to Darling Harbour and is bordered by the suburbs of Ultimo, Chippendale and Surry Hills, all of which are easily accessible by public transport.

Haymarket is perhaps most famous for the incredible array of restaurants and eateries located within the energetic Chinatown precinct. The cuisines on offer are as diverse as the crowds that fill the streets on any given night. From high end restaurants to almost secret “holes in the wall”, there is something to tempt anyone’s tastebuds whether it be traditional Cantonese, Yum Cha, Korean BBQ or sushi.

Entertainment options in Haymarket extend beyond the culinary with plenty for anyone seeking to enjoy Sydney’s vibrant nightlife. Haymarket is home to many pubs, bars and clubs as well as The Capitol Theatre. For the more outgoing, karaoke is a popular form of entertainment with a number of karaoke bars in the area. Haymarket is also a short walk away from the attractions of Darling Harbour, including the exhibition centre.

Haymarket may be a relatively small suburb, but it packs a punch when it comes to shopping and retail in the CBD. Market City is located in the heart of Haymarket and offers a variety of shops including boutique and designer stores, souvenir shops, outlet stores and a games arcade on the top level. Street level of Market City is home to the famous Paddy’s Markets, popular with residents and tourists alike. The streets of Haymarket are littered with unique specialty stores and hidden gems. Another popular attraction is the Chinatown Night Market every Friday night..

High rise residential apartments are the primary residence type in Haymarket. There is a strong rental market due to the student and young professional population in the area.
