Located in the very heart of Sydney, this busy boulevard interconnects other parts of the city. It has always been an important part of Sydney, as there used to be a General Post Office with telegraphic cables on this street, and all important information about world affairs arrived here first.
This pedestrian mall has a high concentration of banks, shops, boutiques, restaurants and everything a hopeful shopper needs. There are also plenty of historical buildings, the Commonwealth Bank, and physical mementos like the 1927 World War I ANZAC Cenotaph, a monument built in honour of people who are buried elsewhere.
Martin place is also tied to a tragedy, which happened here in 2014, called the Sydney siege. Several customers and employees of the Lindt chocolate café were held hostage and some of them were killed by a gunman. In memory of this tragic event, people set up beautiful flower decorations all over the place.
