Nature lovers rejoice as they step into this 30-hectare botanical garden right in the heart of Sydney. Established in 1816, the Royal Botanic Garden is the oldest scientific institution in Australia and has a vast array of plants from around the world. Soak in the natural splendor of the themed garden spaces or venture into Palm Grove Centre for a coffee break. Alternatively, take a leisurely jog from Mrs Macquarie’s Point, and get ready to snap a selfie with the distinctive historic hand-hewn sandstone seawall that arches around Farm Cove or with the stunning backdrop of the iconic Sydney Harbour, The Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. In addition, explore the Domain – a 34-hectare open space that Sydneysiders gather at to enjoy events, running, sports or just chill out.
