My personal favourite Australian artist Ken Done has his gallery in the middle of The Rocks, near Circular Quay. Its constantly updated with his new and old works and well worth a visit!

This beautiful studio sets the tone for a deep, cleansing and calming yoga practice

Japanese bookshop in the centre of of town. Amazing selection of art books, including a nice selection of independent publications. Lots of fun Japanese magazines, book and stationary. Excellent coffee shop inside too :)

I love the effortless elegance of Alistair Trung's trans-seasonal, trans-occasional, trans-age, trans-size and trans-gender pieces. And his stores are always artistically presented and inspiring to be in, with bits of collected wood, bones, feathers and other found natural beauties

One of the best Australian brands, Perks & Mini has its shop right in the middle of Darlinghurst. Worth a look for sure if you're in town.
