Scenic Walking Area · Tourist Spot
The Sydney Opera House and Royal Botanic Gardens combine for an unforgettable day of sightseeing, but The Opera House to the Botanic Gardens Walk itself constitutes an important part of both attractions' appeal. You have a handful of options for how to take this stroll, but the 1.5-km (0.9-mi) route tracing Farm Cove is one of the most popular choices. When you reach the other side of the cove, turn around and take a photo of the Sydney Opera House across the blue water with the Sydney Harbour Bridge and city skyline in the background. Before you head to Sydney, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Sydney day trip tool, to make sure you see all that Sydney has to offer, including The Opera House to the Botanic Gardens Walk.

    It was a beautiful walk with a stunning view to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. It is worth to walk along waterfront to the botanical garden. It's an easy walk and flat.  more »
