Near Manly Beach
Taronga Zoo 7.4 km
A zoo on the slopes of Mosman above the harbour, reached by ferry from Circular Quay. Taronga is an Aboriginal word for beautiful view, and the giraffes really do graze with the city skyline behind them.
Sydney Harbour Bridge 10.0 km
A steel arch opened in 1932 that carries trains, cars, cyclists and walkers from the city to the North Shore. Sydneysiders call it the Coathanger, and you can walk across on its footpath or climb over the top of the arch for the view of the harbour.
Sydney Opera House 10 km
A cluster of white tiled shells on Bennelong Point, designed by the Danish architect Jørn Utzon and opened in 1973. It is a working arts centre with several stages for opera, theatre and concerts, and it is counted among the great buildings of the 20th century.
Royal Botanic Garden Sydney 10 km
Thirty hectares of lawns and plant collections around Farm Cove, between the Opera House and the city. Its paths lead out to Mrs Macquarie's Chair, a sandstone bench carved for a governor's wife, with the bridge and Opera House lined up across the water.
The Rocks 10 km
The oldest part of Sydney, on the harbour's southern shore beside the bridge, where the colony began in 1788. Its sandstone lanes, old pubs and terraces now hold galleries and weekend market stalls.

The ferry terminal and harbourside promenade on Sydney Cove, between the Opera House and The Rocks. Once the colony's shipping port, it is now where the city's ferries come and go, with the bridge on one side and the Opera House on the other.

A gallery of contemporary art in the Art Deco former Maritime Services Board building on the western side of Circular Quay. A modern wing was added in 2012, and its rooftop looks straight across the quay to the Opera House.
