Why it's worth checking out
The Angel Place Birdcages hang in Angel Place, a laneway in the heart of Sydney's CBD. With 116 reviews behind its 4.3 rating, it's a much-loved landmark.
The appeal is a lovely, whimsical piece of public art — the celebrated 'Forgotten Songs' installation of hanging birdcages, with recorded birdsong, a genuine hidden gem in a city laneway and a lovely, thoughtful spot to pause and take in. It's a charming, free stop while exploring the city.
Public art and laneways are open and can be busy, so pick your moment. It's a free spot to enjoy any time — take your time and make the most of the surrounding city laneways while you're there.
