Battery Point Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Battery Point showing street scenes and café lifestyle as well as a small group of people
Take it easy in Battery Point, where a maze of narrow laneways will reveal quaint cafés and galleries to intrepid wanderers.

Pick a path through the waterfront alleys to find a jumble of 19th-century cottages that huddle against the sea breeze like wharfies lining up at the docks. Working-class history is etched into this neighbourhood’s heritage architecture. Visit one of its revered bakeries and you might want to leave a trail of crumbs for your return journey. The glamorous strip of Salamanca Place will lure any bon vivant with its artisans’ markets, providores and award-winning restaurants.

"Super place to stay! Close to everything like food, entertainment, shopping, markets etc. Nice to have our own kitchen for some meals as restaurants become less intriguing after we’ve been on the road for 3 weeks. Well stocked kitchen gear and great access to the city."
