Experience Sydney’s unforgettable and dynamic display of public artworks on a walking tour where you’ll encounter artistic creations that are concealed in laneways, sandwiched between buildings, planted in the pavement and elevated high above the street.

This City Art tour will visit a diverse range of sculptures and installations, as well as digital, light and interactive works. Our expert guide will share with you the stories behind each work and offer new insights and perspectives on the cultural history of Sydney.

The Hidden in Plain Sight tour goes for approximately 1.5 hours, commencing at Macquarie Place Park and within walking distance of Wynyard and Martin Place Stations, as well as light rail.

Check out additional events on Eventbrite, including free guided walking tours in Chinatown.
