Observatory Hill Park - Millers Point (NSW)

Nicole Muñoz Acevedo ICONIC PLACE What better place to watch the sunset? This of course, close to the city but not so close, is a place surrounded by the water of the Pacific Ocean and the green lung that delivers one of the best spots in Sydney in my opinion. We have nearby toilets, water fountains, a wide coastal street for those who love to walk, run or just lie on the grass.

Louie W Ong Barangaroo Reserve has become one of my favourite spots in the city. It’s hard to believe a place this peaceful exists right next to the CBD. The views over the harbour are absolutely stunning, and it’s such a great place to go for a walk, whether you’re on your own, with family, your partner, or walking the dog. The landscaping blends in so well with the harbour, and there’s a real sense of space and calm. It’s the kind of spot that makes you slow down and take it all in. A beautiful addition to Sydney, and one that actually adds something meaningful to the city.

Yubo Zhuo Very iconic zoo in Sydney, very close to most suburbs. Great ticket value. Fun to go there. Very famous koalas live there. There are a lot of good photo locations and animal photos, spent 4 hours there and didn’t even get to see all the animals. Great zoo, recommend for tourists and anyone who wants to go.

Nick R An amazing part of Sydneys history, its free other than parking, highly recommended for a walk or a picnic or both

Ji Song Honestly, pretty amazing spot to just sit and have lunch. Even on a cloudy day it was spectacular.

Helen Di Domenico The elevator is behind Cafe Gigi. Unless you know about it, you wont know that it heads up to amazing views across Circular Quay and Harbour Bridge. Highly recommend going up here as the sun is setting so you get the contrast between day and night. Around New Years 2022, they closed this stretch of motorway and converted it into a concert space. Tickets to this were free - bonus! Was seriously cool! Glad I got the chance to experience this.

Yun Grace Zhou Beautiful weather with beautiful views. We started from Taronga Zoo wharf ,after arrived Bradleys Head Walking track followed the sign Athol Hall back to Taronga Zoo ferry wharf, easy level, but no dogs allowed and you cannot use the pram when you had a little baby.

Nikolaus Beattie Fabulous family friendly little beach with decent amenities and plenty of grassed area. There are barbecue facilities as well as coffee options from the cafe Good for a picnic or a swim at a very flat beach with a shark net and no waves Parking seems reasonable but get in early as the beach links to a popular bushwalk

Garry Bates Celebrity Edge at Circular Quay Sydney. Sydney Harbour is such a wonderful sight.

Pat Chung The view of Sydney CBD from the Dudley Page Reserve is awesome, just its a bit far from the CBD so if you come here with a telescope, your experience would be even better. My mobile phone could zoom far distances so my pictures were still good for me. This site is good for picnic, enjoy a relaxing afternoon, watching Sydneys NYE fireworks or seeing sunset with Sydney Harbour, Sydney CBD, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge as backdrop. Street parking is easily available and free. However, this site is located at a high land (80 m above sea level) at the eastern suburb and is close to the cliff edge, so it is usually very windy and must be cold during winter or cool weather. So please remember bringing a jacket with you. There is no shelter nor toilet available, so please bring your hat or umbrella and search for nearby toilets if you plan for visiting long hours (I used searching it by using The National Public Toilet Map created by Australian Government).
