Question: How Do You Get to the Sydney Opera House?
Answer: From anywhere in Sydney, the easiest and most practical way to get to the Sydney Opera House is to take a train to Circular Quay.

From there, it is a few minutes' walk to the Sydney Opera House.

If you're close to the centre of the city, you could walk due north along Macquarie St from the Hyde Park area. If you're in The Rocks, walk down to Circular Quay and then head to the Sydney Opera House which should be visible from there.

If you prefer to take a bus, check with Sydney Buses to find out which bus to take.

If you want to take a ferry to Circular Quay, there are ferries from Parramatta in the west, Manly and other points north and Watsons Bay in the south. These ferries would have other stops along Parramatta River, Sydney Harbour and the Pacific.

There are water taxis you can take to the Sydney Opera House as well as street cabs.

If you're driving there's underground parking, for a fee, at the Sydney Opera House.
