Circular Quay Walks

Circular Quay is nestled in the shadow of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, near the historically significant The Rocks district and the culturally significant Opera House.

Bounded on one side by the Sydney Harbour and the other by the CBD and modern Sydney city resorts, hotels and apartments, Circular Quay boasts stunning views across the harbour and a never-ending bustle as the nerve centre for Sydney's cruise and ferry services.

Picturesque walkways and parks, cobbled lanes and historical landmarks - rim the Quay, located at the head of Sydney Cove, and there is no better way to see this vibrant district than to walk.

These are some of the walks available:

The Darling Harbour to Circular Quay historical walk incorporates the Sydney Aquarium
Circular Quay Writers' Walk takes in the Museum of Contemporary Arts, Sydney and the Sydney Opera House
The self-guided Historical Walking Tour includes Customs House.
Lunchtime tours, and an indigenous walk, are offered at the Royal Botanic Gardens, home to Australia's first farm.
The Rocks Pub Tour visits historical hotels including The Lord Nelson, Sydney's oldest pub opened in 1844 and still serving.

Excellent guided walks around Circular Quay and its environs are available through a number of private companies.
