The elevator is behind Cafe Gigi. Unless you know about it, you won't know that it heads up to amazing views across Circular Quay and Harbour Bridge. Highly recommend going up here as the sun is setting so you get the contrast between day and night. Around New Years 2022, they closed this stretch of motorway and converted it into a concert space. Tickets to this were free - bonus! Was seriously cool! Glad I got the chance to experience this.

An excellent place to come and look at Circular Quay which is located inside Sydney Harbour. The lookout is accessible from the eastern end of Circular Quay by taking the lift above the railway line or by foot from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the path located near the ‘Northern Gate’ of the Royal Botanic Gardens. There’s also a staircase that can be accessed from the eastern side of the Quay. Great views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Picture postcard views of Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour and Harbour Bridge from this location. Not as well known as other harbour viewpoints this spot is never crowded. Starting at the Art Gallery of NSW you can walk through the Botanic Gardens, past the Opera House and over the Bridge to Milsons Point without needing to cross any roads, a great way to spend a morning or afternoon.

The Cahill Walk in Sydney is one of the harbour’s most popular walks, despite being virtually unknown.

This 2.2km (1.3 mile) urban stroll links Royal Botanic Gardens and Milsons Point to Circular Quay and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The best known and most popular section of the Cahill Walk is the northern end, more commonly referred to as the Sydney Harbour Bridge Walk.

While it takes just 45 minutes to do the full path one-way from Milsons Point to the Royal Botanic Gardens (or vice versa), the Cahill Walk is best described in two sections: the northern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge Walkway, and the southern Cahill Expressway...

“Accidentally wound up in Sydney” is a sentence I never expected to write. It seems like a very intentional decision after all, but here we found ourselves after a mechanical issue with our flight and a split second decision to take another flight on our way to Bali. This decision gave us 22 hours in Sydney and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Getting to see the famous Opera House and bridge in person is a bucket list experience. The fine folks we met treated us well and Cahill Walk Lookout made for some excellent...

Nice spot nestled between the busy Cahill expressway and circular Quay Wharf. Unfortunately, you can't see the bridge and the opera house completely (due to hotels near the opera house) - you'll need 3 different photo shots of the city (which also doesn't come in one camera angle), the harbour bridge and the opera house. Perhaps that's the reason it's not popular with tourists and I saw people go down the lift immediately after reaching...
