Darling Harbour

An astounding triumph of urban waterside architecture. Hotels, in abundance, attractions, in abundance, and restaurants - you got it, in abundance. Very walkable, very joggable. If you hotel is here you will not be disappointed... But it isn't Circular Quay which has more character.... And the Opera House.

Darling Harbour in Sydney is simply awesome! The vibes here are fantastic, with so much to see and do. There are cool shops, nice places to eat, and the view is stunning. It’s a great spot for a leisurely walk, and there are always events happening. The kids love it too, with the aquarium and wildlife attractions. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Darling Harbour is a must-visit. I always find something new and exciting every time I’m there. It’s a hub of fun in the heart of Sydney. Highly recommended!

This is the most popular place in the city for families. It has plenty of things to keep families and tourists entertained.

There are plenty of good quality food outlets, bars, clubs and on the other side, you have a maritime museum, sea life, Madam tasaud and zoo.

There are plenty of rides for kids, and strolling around cockle Bay wharf is pretty common 😀.

The Chinese garden is a beautiful place for all ages to visit

During Australia Day and New Year, this becomes a magnet place for families to watch the fireworks and other entertainment comes with it.

We love going back again and again.

Hope you all have a good time there.

There have been some great improvements since my last visit to Sydney. The Chinese friendship garden is beautiful as always. What I really liked is the additional family space. With the water park, and pools along with food outlets and integrated green space. The water is always beautiful. Great relaxing place to be. It is worth a visit. So much to do.

One of the most popular places in Sydney by tourists. People love to spend time with their loved ones as well as friends and family 👪 here.
In 2023, my son, me my wife celebrated 31st December here in Darling Harbor. There was a spectacular fireworks ❇ 🎆 show we enjoyed.

The National Maritime museum is definitely worth visiting and allow at least 2 hours to board the sub, warship and other historical boats. Great displays and history.

Fantastic location. Great little playground and water play area for the little ones. Tons of food options. Can get quite busy though. Would definitely revisit

I have always loved darling harbour. The energy, the activities, the park, the food. I could hang out at darling harbour all day and not be bored. You don't have to spend money unless you want to. It's beautiful.

Worth visiting. Beautiful place. You must ride a harbor cruise daytime or nighttime to see all close up. Once a lifetime experience in Sydney at least. I enjoyed so much. Only cost me around US $30 for 90min ride.

Our stay was fantastic! The room- Jewel suite was absolutely stunning.

The facilities were great, with hot water and plenty of amenities. The housekeeping was excellent, keeping everything clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Kevin went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. TK at the spa gave me one of the most amazing treatments.
Breakfast was also a highlight, with a variety of options to choose from.

The only issue we ran into was the incessant dog barking- which was quickly remedied by moving to a higher floor.

Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this property. It is definitely in my top five favorite hotels I have ever stayed in!

Iconic Public Place in Sydney. The place is well-planned and well-organized considering the needs of the tourists.

Public Transport, Cafes, Restaurants, Parks, Shopping malls, Hotels etc. Everything in the Darling Harbour.

I visited to attend the event in the ICC and was planning to stay only one night but after the event, I was impressed by the views of skyscrapers and parks, so I decided to stay a couple of more days and explore the City.

From travelling all around the world to cities, such as London, Hong Kong, Tokyo through to Vienna in Berlin, Sydney Harbour always stun me when I come back. The natural Harbour in Sydney are just spectacular and the growing facilities and activities to do around them, both Commerical and natural to behold.

I could visit Darling Harbor again and again and not be bored. The view is amazing and one could spend hours soaking up the atmosphere and people watch. Incredible variety of food & beverage, activities & attractions to be found here

If you are at harbour side you can see all of these sightseeing areas. I was travelling alone n it’s hard to find someone trustworthy n someone ready to click ur pix happily. Keep walking at circular quay you will see Luna Park on the way and on opposite side of the harbour you will see opera house.

Great vibe. Amazing restaurants with picturesque view. Every Saturday there is a fireworks from 9 pm for 5-7 mins.
Nice crowd.

Beautiful at night. Nice walk around the harbour. Great restaurants. Harbour cruises deoart from here. Also find the Maritime museum, madame tussauds, aquarium, and wildlife Australia. Take a cruise to see the skyline from the waters.

Darling Harbour in Sydney is an absolute gem for families, especially those with young children. This vibrant area is not just a feast for the eyes with its stunning waterfront views, but it's also a haven of endless fun for the little ones. The highlight for many families is undoubtedly the water parks, where children can splash, play, and giggle to their hearts' content. The interactive water features are ingeniously designed to entertain and cool off the kids on a warm day, making it the perfect spot for some family fun under the Sydney sun.

While the water parks offer an oasis of joy for children, they also provide a relaxing environment for parents to unwind and watch their kids play. However, a small yet significant tip for parents planning to visit: remember to bring a change of clothes for your children. With all the excitement and water activities, having a dry set of clothes will ensure that the fun doesn't have to stop, keeping your little ones comfortable and ready to explore more of what Darling Harbour has to offer. Whether it's your first visit or a regular family outing, Darling Harbour's water parks are a guaranteed splash hit for a memorable day out with your kids!

Stunning place and a must see in Sydney. With a little bit luck you’ll see the bride opens and close. The attraction there just amazing and there are a lot of restaurants around. For kids, couples and just fast food -everything is there. Even a German Restaurant with German beer. At the evening is almost everyday something happening there. Also checkout online for the next fireworks! There is also a beautiful path to The Rocks -outstanding. The path will bring you to Circular Quay and the opera house.

This is nice spot to spend some time in the evening, the harbor is in the backdrop the downtown and hosts several restaurants and offers great nightscape views.
