I loved the beauty, views and everything! The fleet steps were fun along with the history of the area. Many, many people were out exercising and enjoying the beautiful day. The Opera House is under renovation while they fortify the area to protect it from the water. More

Sydney is a great city for walkers - lots of variety and easy accessibility. This walk in particular is scenic and gives you some structure. You can take a train to Circular Quay and walk from there, and the Botanic Garden is a real gem in Sydney. The Royal Botanic Garden website is a great reference both for your visit... More

We did this walk a few times in the evenings and the air was crisp and clean, and strangely peaceful given that the hustle and bustle of the city was so nearby. Very well maintained, something they obviously take pride in. More

For being in the middle of the city, the Gardens was a pleasant experience. Plenty of flowers, tree and green open space to relax and enjoy a little bit of country in the middle of the city.
