- Royal Botanic Garden

· Originally Australia's first farm, the Gardens are adjacent to the Sydney Opera House and CBD, separated from the Opera House only by a narrow bay. This prime location makes it a must-visit destination.
· Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, located at the northern end of the Gardens, offers the best vantage point for viewing the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge - a spot featured in many postcards.
· An ideal place to unwind, featuring expansive views, peaceful atmosphere, large lawns, and numerous benches. The Government House, located within the Gardens, is open for public visits.

The Royal Botanic Garden is truly expansive. Why did we choose this over visiting the Opera House directly? Because there's a perfect vantage point here where you can take in both the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House in one spectacular view.

The garden definitely deserves its high praise. With so many green plants, it's like an urban oxygen bar. When you reach the coastal section, you're treated to amazing views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The scenery is incredible! And I can't emphasize enough just how enormous the botanical garden is.
