Hidden partially under the concourse in front of the Sydney Opera House, with great views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. A good option for a drink with a view amongst the buzz of Circular Quay and the Opera House.

Sightseeing

Our 'backyard' - perfect spot for all ages to get outdoors for a walk, run, scoot, game of soccer, coffee or a visit to the playground. Walk around to Yarranabee Point for a decent, easy (albeit further away from the action) option for New Year's Eve fireworks spot which doesn't require 8hrs camping out for a spot. Great option with kids.

An iconic local outdoor pool where Sydneysiders go to cool off, catch some sunshine and show off. Great views across to the historic Wooloomooloo Bay Wharf building. A great place to cool off after a walk around the Botanic Garden across to the Sydney Opera House. Includes a smaller, heated, shallow pool under shade cover for the kids. A favourite for city families.

Walk the walk or jog along this coastal pathway, winding past Sydney's favourite 'city' beaches. A stunning way to experience the coastline on a sunny blue sky day. Start at Bronte and finish with a swim at the iconic Iceberg's pool at Bondi.

A local secret for the views- a sneaky way to get up higher for great views back towards the Sydney Opera House without the expense of doing the Bridge Climb (although the Bridge Climb is a must do if you can).

Entertainment

Things to do!
Sydney's Moonlight Cinema runs through the Summer season. This is the local's favourite outdoor cinema - the hire a "beanbed" and spread yourself out version of outdoor cinema. Check out the programme at moonlight.com.au and book online. Go for the Goldgrass Package for rebooked beanbags in the best viewing areas, or get there early to snag a good spot! (If you're more a 'sit on a chair' outdoor cinema type, check out westpacopenair.com.au, located at Mrs Macquarie's Chair, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a backdrop).
