Sydney Walking Tour - Circular Quay to Hyde Park

From the Sydney Opera House, walk east close to the water. There should be a gate there that leads you into Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. This is a popular place not only for those interested in different types of flora but also for those seeking respite from work or for grounds to have a stroll or a picnic. It's best to have a map so you don't go around in circles in the gardens.

Government House, which used to be the home of the New South Wales Governors, sits on a knoll in the gardens. It is now a museum and houses art and artefacts.

Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney are normally open to the public from sunrise to sunset.
