See the Opera House and Circular Quay

The heart of Sydney is its harbour, and the area around Circular Quay is where the icons gather. The Sydney Opera House, with its famous sail-like shells, is free to admire from the outside and stroll around (tours inside cost extra), while the great Harbour Bridge arches alongside. Walk through the historic Rocks district, the city's oldest quarter, and out to Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the classic postcard view of both icons together. It's all free to wander and best at sunset. We'll map out a harbour walking route taking in the best views and the free highlights.
