Circular Quay
Just when you arrive in the area you have no doubt that you have come to what I would call Sydney’s main nerve. If you do not live in the area around The Rocks, you will typically arrive in the area by train and get off at the Circular Quay station, which is also the name of the area of ​​the harbor. Circular Quay is centrally located between the Sydney Opera House and the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge. The area has a lot to offer, and then it is also from here all the ferries sail from.
Circular Quay and the promenade up to the Opera House invite you to sit on one of the benches or stroll at a leisurely pace up the promenade while enjoying the pulsating traffic in the harbor. But watch out for the gulls that are looking for delights.
Sydney Opera House is located on Bennelong Point and is designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon. Unfortunately, disagreement between Utzon and the board of the Opera House and Utzon chose to leave the project. The Opera House opened in 1973, but Jørn Utzon never even managed to experience the finished opera house before he died in 2008.
This also means that the interior interior is not the original design that Utzon had thought, which unfortunately you also feel when you walk around there. Inside (except for the concert hall) the house does not live up to the same architectural beauty as it does outside.
Sydney Opera House is on the UNESCO list of the world’s cultural heritage.
Experience Sydney Opera House inside
The best way to experience the Opera House on the inside is by participating in one of their guided tours. Here you get an Audio Guide handed out so you can hear the guide tell about the history of the house and draw a little on the smile band over their way of pronouncing Copenhagen 🙂
Remember to book the guided tour in advance as they are quickly sold out.
One of the highlights of the guided tour is to come in and see the large concert hall where there is room for 2,679 people. Unfortunately, no pictures must be taken inside the concert hall, as you want to take into account the many people who work in there. But you have to take pictures in the rest of the house.
Price: If you buy the ticket online, a guided tour of the Opera House costs approx. 160 Kr.
Sydney Opera House Set from Botanical Garden
It is also clearly recommended to see the Opera House from the views Farm Cove and MRS Macquarie’s Chair. On the trip along the promenade over to the lookouts, you walk along Sydney’s very beautiful Royal Botanic Garden.
