Royal Botanic Garden Sydney
Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden runs along the harbour foreshore from near the Opera House, giving some of the best free harbour and skyline views in the city alongside its plant collections and Aboriginal Heritage Tour. Mrs Macquarie's Chair, a carved sandstone bench at the garden's harbour edge, is a well-known lookout point over the Opera House and bridge.
Given its central location and the quality of the harbour views, it's one of the best low-effort, free additions to a Sydney CBD day — easily walked as part of a route between the Opera House, the CBD, and Woolloomooloo.
