Walking

From the heart of The Rocks, start at the intersection of George St and Argyle St. Head south on George St, walking towards the Sydney Harbour. Continue straight for about 5 minutes until you reach the waterfront. Once you reach the water, turn left onto the promenade. Follow the path along the water's edge, enjoying views of the Harbour. Keep walking until you see signs for the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Look for the entrance to the Bridge Stairs, which is located at 100 Cumberland St, The Rocks, NSW 2000. It should take about 10-15 minutes from this point.

Public Transport - Bus

If you prefer to take a bus, head to the nearest bus stop located on George St near the Museum of Contemporary Art. Board a bus that heads towards Millers Point or Circular Quay. The fare will be around AUD 3-5, depending on your distance traveled. Get off at the Circular Quay stop. From Circular Quay, walk along the waterfront towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This walk will take around 10-15 minutes. Look for the signs leading to the Bridge Stairs located at 100 Cumberland St.

Ferry

You can also take a ferry to Circular Quay. Board a ferry from any of the wharfs along Sydney's ferry network (like Darling Harbour or Manly).
