We invite you to revisit all the places you love — and perhaps discover a few new ones while you’re at it. There’s so much to explore in the City.
While you may already have minds abuzz about where you’ll eat and drink and shop and play when you visit the City, we’ve pulled together a tantalising list for you.

SANITISING OF PUBLIC AREAS While we’ve done a fabulous effort as a community at flattening the curve, it’s important to remember that social distancing is very much still a priority. Please ensure you keep your 1.5m distance from others and continue washing your hands.
Speaking of cleaning, our venues and stores have scrubbed up on all the necessary safety requirements and implemented their services to ensure you have a safe visit.
You’ll notice some extra cleaning and fewer tables around the place as a result.
