The Royal Botanic Gardens, which are just a short walk
around the water's edge from the Sydney Opera House,
is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful settings
you will see anywhere, with the gardens filling an
area of land between the harbour and the eastern part
of the central business district. The gardens sit on
the side of an undulating piece of land and the
harbour views from up on the hill are superb. There
are large trees with a wonderful shade canvas and this
makes the best spot imaginable to stop and have lunch
- sitting on the grass and taking in the harbour
views.
A walkway skirts around the harbourfront at the lower
part of the gardens and is popular for lunchtime walks
or jogs. The gardens have more than one million
specimens and there is even a hop-on hop-off "train"
for the less energetic.
The gardens are an excellent place to escape the noise
of the city and are situated quite close to some of
the major city hotels around Hyde Park. They open
daily at 6.30am and close at sunset. Entry to the
gardens is free.
