Serene and beautiful We visited this in the mid of spring and there are a lot of attractions to see. There are cafes and restrooms available close to all the exits. Its a must visit attraction for tourists or if you are a Sydney resident you should visit for a day picnic!

Located at Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺. This is a fantastic place to come to. It’s such an iconic place in the centre of the city with fantastic views every where you turn. There’s something lovely cafes you can have something to eat and drink but I must warn it is not cheap. The options include the Botanic House, Farm Cove Eatery, Piccolo Me or Leaf Dept. Cafe which is located in the Calyx. Or, you can always bring your own picnic lunch and eat in the beautiful gardens. There is also a Gift shop (The Garden Shop) located just near Botanic House Restaurant. The Calyx also has a Gift Shop. The view over the harbour is second to none and the walk along the harbour is stunning. You can go from the entrance just next the Opera House all the way past Mrs Macquaries Chair, past the Art Gallery of NSW and down to Woolloomooloo Wharves if you are so inclined. It’s a fantastic walk. The gardens themselves have many walkways with beautiful lakes and fountains etc to enjoy. You can easily get there by public transportation eg train and it’s very wheelchair 🦽 accessible and there’s toilets located at the cafes. I couldn’t recommend enough 👍👍👍👍 Open daily from 7.00am until Sunset.

Absolutely amazing!!! Australia's natural masterpiece and oldest botanic garden, overlooking Sydney Harbour. One of the stunning botanical gardens ever I seen. Extensive harbour-side regional parkland near the city centre hosting the Royal Botanic Gardens, a state heritage site full of flowers, plants and trees from all over the world.
