This waterside pocket of Sydney has got it all; amazing entertainment, fascinating museums, incredible wildlife and delicious dining options right on the water plus a brand-new food precinct. Darling Harbour is a fantastic family-friendly destination right in the heart of Sydney that has something for everyone.
Make the most of being by the water and hop aboard a sightseeing cruise or discover one of the tall ships at the Australian National Maritime Museum. If you’re looking for something less active and more Zen, head to the Chinese Garden of Friendship, which is a tranquil haven.
