About

The one landmark everyone photographs first. Walk the forecourt for free, book a one-hour tour to see inside, and come back at dusk when the sails light up. Circular Quay station is a three-minute walk.

    Beautiful, but the bars nearby are expensive. Bring a drink and sit in the Botanic Garden next door instead.

    Came at dusk in my first week. Sitting on the forecourt watching the ferries made it feel real that we had moved.

    Walk around the outside for free first — the view from the steps back towards the bridge is the best photo in the city. The one-hour tour is worth it if you have the budget.
