Question: Where Is the Sydney Opera House?
Answer: The Sydney Opera House is located due north from the Sydney city centre.

It lies on that finger of land called Bennelong Point which juts northward into Sydney Harbour's Port Jackson.

Sydney Opera House lies roughly northeast of Circular Quay, Sydney's waterside transport hub, and across the water from the historic Rocks area.

Sydney Opera House lies adjacent to the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens which lead in a general southeasterly direction to The Domain.
