Opened in 1816, the garden is the oldest scientific institution in Australia and one of the most important historic botanical institutions in the world. In certain seasons, you can see peaches, wisteria, lotus flowers blossom, and other native plants.

It is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. It is a garden that is a candidate to become a forest if it were a little larger and densely wooded. You can see different and incredibly beautiful trees. People reading books, chatting, having picnics away from the crowds and noise of the city... You can take beautiful photos as you can see the opera house from a beautiful angle.
An absolute marvel and a gem that needs to be admired. In the midst of the Sydney city, it has rain forest, cafes, water views, majestic water bodies, trees, rare plants and birds. Must visit. If you are a fitness freak this should be your running arena. Rare to see parks of this size in the middle of the city.
Love these gardens. Full of life and greenery, huge open space with plenty of places to sit and picnic, or hang out with friends with a coffee in hand. Some wildlife around, and it all feels so removed from the big city right next door. Highly recommend a visit if you’re around, it’s well worth the stroll.
This is one of the most visually stunning botanical gardens that I've been to. There are good views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, as well as a lot of open space. I could easily spend hours here!
