Katoomba
The central town and transport hub of the Blue Mountains, with art deco-style buildings on its main street, a century-old Carrington Hotel and the highest concentration of restaurants and accommodation.
Katoomba is the largest town in the City of Blue Mountains. The railway station is right beside the main street, Katoomba Street, which is lined with early 20th-century art deco-style buildings, second-hand bookshops, cafés and Asian restaurants. The Carrington Hotel, which opened in the 1880s, is a landmark. From the station, you can take a Blue Mountains sightseeing bus or bus route 686 to Echo Point and Scenic World. Katoomba is a good base for accommodation.
