Royal Botanic Gardens

Wonderful garden, nice to stroll through the park, relaxing atmosphere. Even a small bar selling drinks and you can sit in a chair on the loan watching people and scenery. And of course amazing view of the opera house and Sydney downtown skyline. Definitely a place to go, either if you are visiting Sydney or living there. Don't miss beautiful sunset!

Beautiful gardens right in the heart of the city. Great walking around right down to Mrs Macquarie chair then back around to see the Opera House. Lots of garden to see and things to watch. On this beautiful sunny day there is nothing better than a long walk around these national gardens. A must for any visitors to Sydney

We walked from Aria Restaurant at the end of Macquarie Street right round the Opera House, through the gate and into a wonderland of different plant, tree and flower species; every turn was a new surprise!! Brilliantly signposted, interspersed with artworks park benches, cafes, rostrums - we followed the path into the garden towards the Calyx - a hub of activity - displays exhibitions food shopping - but you don't have a clue about what it is until you actually GET THERE!! There is a spectacular fountain venerating Governor Phillip a beautiful rose garden another lovely cafe. .. And on top it off you are in the most spectacular harbour city in the world - just turn around and look out at the view!!! Definitely a must do -spend a day in the Sydney Botanical Gardens!! If I could give 10 stars I would!!
