Circular Quay is a colorful port near Sydney Opera House where boat watching can be as good a pastime as people watching. This is a popular neighborhood made up of walkways, pedestrian malls, parks and restaurants. While street performers entertain outside, those wanting a more cultural experience can head into the Museum of Contemporary Art where a sculpture garden on the roof is as much a view as the waterways below.

On the southern side of Circular Quay you will find a walkway that leads to the Sydney Opera House and Royal Botanical Gardens. On the northern side, a short walk along lovely landscaped walkways takes you to the Harbour Bridge and The Rocks, another attractive and interesting part of Sydney, also one of the oldest.
