· 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.

You can visit the Royal Botanic Gardens in the afternoon. The gardens are free and open to the public, featuring diverse plants from around the world and intersecting pathways that enchant visitors and provide perfect photo opportunities.

When you get tired of walking, you can find a patch of grass to sit down and watch people jogging, walking their dogs, or office workers taking their lunch breaks. You can also rest at Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, known as "the best viewpoint for the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge," and look back at these two iconic landmarks.
