Circular Quay

Circular Quay is an absolutely buzzing place. From cafes, restaurants and little shops to street performers dazzling the onlookers and tourists rushing for harbour cruises, it's quite the place to be. Offering spectacular views of both the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, it is a vibrant neighbourhood that attracts many tourists due to its close proximity to many major attractions in Sydney.

Circular Quay serves as the city's main ferry terminal and, due to that, is where all the harbour cruises embark. Since harbour cruises are very popular among locals and tourists, Circular Quay is always crowded, and the atmosphere is electric. Some touristy things to do here are whale watching, taking a boat ride (options include jet boat rides, cruise and aboriginal-led tribal warrior harbour cruises) to explore the beauty of the harbour and its gushing water, exploring the culture of the place, dining and drinking in one of the many restaurants there or simply enjoy the splendour of the city the place has to offer.
