Circular Quay

Harbour Sydney, Australia

What to expect

Circular Quay is a harbour, former working port, and now international passenger shipping terminal, public piazza, and tourism precinct located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is a popular neighbourhood for tourism and consists of walkways, pedestrian malls, parks, and restaurants. The area hosts a number of ferry wharves, bus stops, and a railway station, and is often referred to as the 'gateway to Sydney'. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, and it is a common location for viewing Sydney New Year's Eve fireworks. The precinct is home to several restaurants, bars, and cafes, including fine-dining restaurants and casual eateries. Families can take a stroll along the foreshore, visit the nearby Royal Botanic Garden, or take a ferry to other parts of the harbour
