Circular Quay is the hub of transportation, entertainment and dining in Sydney’s Central Business District. Easily accessible by ferry, train or trolley you must visit here if you are visiting Sydney. This is the place you’ll take the best selfies of The Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. You can catch a ferry, take a harbor cruise, listen to street performers, eat gelato and sip a cool adult beverage Lots of restaurants and cafes too. Best of all, you can spend as much or as little money as you want and still have fun!

Circular Quay was our favorite place in Sydney. The views of the harbor, the Opera House, and the Rocks is superb. This is a transit hub for ferries, trams, and trains. A reason to take the train is the magnificent view of the harbor from the rail platform on the second floor of the building. There are fast food places, restaurants, convenience stores, a wine shop, and clean toilets. The public ferries are affordable and a great way to see the harbor. A pleasant journey is to Manly, avoid the so called Manly fast ferry as this is more expensive and in fact not much faster. It requires a special ticket while the normal ferries use the public transport Opal card.

Ok, for convenience=5. It’s simple, it’s a gateway. The trains, ferry, light rail all stop here so it’s your access path to all things Sydney. But it constantly smells like pee. The shops are varies but the convenience shops are over priced. Having said that… the views. You just can’t get better!

Visited a few times during my recent visit to Sydney. It is the gateway to exploring Sydney by train, bus, light rail or ferry. Or to go exploring the Opera House, Rocks area or further afield.

We walked down here after dinner at the Sydney Tower. Such a nice walk. Always something happening at Circular Quay. Ice cream, Gelato and many places to eat or have a coffee or wine. You can watch the ferries come and go, take in the view of the harbour.

An exciting vibrant place with a frantic holiday vibe about it. Holidaying families with push-chairs and toddlers are everywhere. Some nice restaurants (more restaurant choices between Circular Quay and Sydney Opera House). Sydney Information people wander throughout daily. The many ferry terminals look daunting but take a deep breath, stand still, and calmly read information on any terminal's wall to get information as to which terminal you need to leave from. You must get a travel card to board ferries or buses and there's a machine at the wharf entrance or you can purchase a card from a shop that is also at one of the quay entrances. Most visitors do the walk of The Rocks-Circuar Quay-Sydney Opera House. About an hour if admiring views, longer if stopping off at places

What a wonderful day in Sydney. Loved Circular Quay and loved not being in the hustle/bustle of Sydney proper. Lots to see and do -- the Opra House, restaurants, shopping and access to transportation. We were there Sunday and loved the Street Market with so many talented artisens. One of my favorite stops in Australia.

Not far from (adjacent) the Rocks this is close to the end of 5he harbour bridge and the cruise terminal. Good views of the bridge and opera house. The enormous cruise ships park her3 and are an impressive site. There are some fairly upmarket places to eat here. Good quality but at a price
