A really romantic place to hang around or to have dinner. During daylight, the view is amazingly beautiful, but it's even more spectacular at night! They also have a park nearby, it is a great destination to simply have a picnic or to bring your kids and dogs to run around.

The most adorable place to have lunch or dinner with family and friends. I would recommend you to bring your family here. The food very delicious and well served, clean, and chic. I really like the food. And the view is special. An interesting shopping centre in the middle of the city

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!

An impromptu visit meant we just enjoyed what was available. Could not find a place to sit down and eat so settled for take-out and eating from a park bench which was fine. But loved the walkabout in a beautiful setting. Not overly busy (other than the couple of restaurants that were open and understaffed and over capacity)....so enjoyed strolling around. Most places closed so missing some of the buzz, but a pleasant evening out.

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.

If you’ve not been to Sydney before. You’ve got to experience the atmosphere of Darling Harbour both day and night. Darling Harbour is home to a wide variety of cafes, bars, nightclubs and restaurants. It’s also home to the Sydney Aquarium where Angelina and Brad Pit spent time with their kids. Walk the wharf and admire the variety of boats and super yachts. Want to enjoy the Harbour water views and would like to sail underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge? No problem. Catch a water taxi, ride a ferry or jump on a chartered boat with a group of friends. Want to experience the Harbour via adrenaline? Enjoy a speed boat ride but watch yourself. You might get wet. Darling Harbour. A must see destination of Sydney.

Beautiful place with plenty of shops and food Court around the area. The beauty of this place gets double after sunset as there are always something happening here. Must visit spot for tourists and families.

Celebrated my last night of a three week stay in Sydney, Australia on this lovely harbor of vast entertainment. A variety of restaurants, pubs, hotels and scenic party boats to take you in and out of the harbor. Stopped into a sports bar & grill near the docked riverboats for drinks with the family. Just taking in all the beautiful sites and people were enough to wet the palate. A must see in downtown Sydney.

A wonderful place to hang around and also during night time. After visiting the Opera house area, come to Darling Harbour to see some magnificent night views or hang around the shops and restaurants. I went walking to the Fish Market afterwards.

So many places to see and do here that are close by. The bridge across the bay is a great place for photos. The SeaLife Aquarium was well worth it. At night its a lite up and nice place to relax. Full of nice restaurants and cafes on the top level. A short walk away from the Harbour is a play area for kids and the Chinese Garden of Friendship was a beautiful place to see.

It is a beautiful promenade, full of bars and restaurants in front of the port. In addition, on Saturdays at 21:00, they launch fireworks and if you want you can enjoy the show from the Ferris wheel. It is difficult to get a table in the premises, but you can make a reservation, or just go for a walk.

Very quiet in these Covid times.

This place never stops to amaze you :) full of life and colours. If you are feeling down, just go there, sit by the water, relax and enjoy the life :)

When you plan to enjoy with friends and family Darling harbor is the place to be. It has spectacular view both of the city and the water. It has all kids of restaurants( A few halal as well, I loved the beef steak at Rashays), rides situated in a U shaped fashion around the water with a bridge that takes you to the city. Late night live singing and dancing creates a lovely atmosphere… so when in Sydney be sure to visit the darling harbor…Loved it.

Best spot in Sydney where all the major attractions are located. You'll need a few days to explore everything here.

one of the places I miss the most is Darling Harbor. It is beautiful during the day and beautiful at night. it is both very quiet and very noisy.

Came here for the Winter Festival and was in awe of this place’s beauty. The entire precinct is bursting with life, even on a cold rainy day many were enjoying themselves. Dancing to the tunes of music being played, enjoying different varieties of food … capped off by a mesmerizing fireworks display was a truly beautiful experience. I come here regularly even when there is no event and it always makes me happy each time. Many seating areas and restaurants to choose from with exquisite scenery by the water - truly a must-visit place in Sydney!

This is a great place that has something for everyone, from good food, to bars and nightlife, harbour cruises and access to tourist attractions like the wax museum , Sydney aquarium, Sydney wildlife park and much more. It’s worth a visit.

A beautiful Harbour where there is something for everyone. Cafes, restaurants and bars. An outdoor area for kids and for families or anyone looking for a nice place to relax.

Quintessential Sydney Spot! Must visit for the harbour experience, lots of stylish venues, live music, waterfront vibes! Can come over for a quick meal and walk around the waterfront. There are restaurants, clubs, shopping locations, bars, ice cream and other dessert joints. Fireworks on Saturday nights!

Nice place for a stroll by the water, filled with mediocre Mediterranean restaurants. Usually full of tourists and drunk partygoers throughout the week. Decorations could be much better, though. Hopefully new shopping mall and hotel will spruce the place up soon.

We were here for the winter spectacular. It was a great night. There was an ice skating rink for the kids. And at the end of the night there was an awesome fire-works display. It was great. It is a great place to take the kids and other members of the family.

Really pretty and lots of shops and things to see! They are currently doing vivid (light festival? Very beautiful) throughout the area and I would highly recommend. It can get very crowded though and much like the rest of Sydney is quite pricey but certainly worth a visit 🙂

Darling Harbour really lives up to its name for it is indeed a darling place to visit. Highly recommend for anyone of all ages, especially if you have kids as it's super family friendly. Will visit again for sure.

Best place to spend time. Great choices of restaurants. Evening walk along the harbour is so refreshing. Hoping IMAX theatre will be opened soon. The play area for kids is really good. Kids will enjoy and have fun for sure. Sometimes (especially in the weekends) it gets too crowded plan ahead.

Beautiful location to visit. I recommend visiting at night. They must purposely have the buildings keep the lights on as it’s magical. Take the very cheap public ferry to or from here. They do have fireworks at 8:30 every Saturday. Don’t miss that if you’re in the area.

Beautiful view over the water of Harbour Bridge and the Opera house. Take a short ferry ride to get great views around and snap 🫰 photos. A must-visit if you are in Sydney. It can be extremely busy on the weekend, especially with lots of tourists.

Very nice walking area. Lots of food nearby. Boats look nice in photos as background. Sidewalks are clean and spacious. Water appears to be clean from rubbish. No fishing around the edges of water. Lights look great at night.

The views were stunning. Public transport was so easy. Tap on and off with digital wallet. Ferry across the bay was quick and smooth! Nightlife was great!

Went to Vivid, Sydney was buzzing with people and lights. Darling Harbour had a wonderful light and water display. It was extremely crowded, if you have sensory issues, would recommend going through the week nights if you wanted to see it or take children with you for them to see. Darling Harbour itself is easy to get to and to walk around.

I have visited Darling Harbour quite a few times. This time, i visited sydney during 'Vivid Sydney'. It looks amazing, dazzling in lights with many sound effects and a fantastic fountain show. Must visit if you are visiting Sydney on a trip. If possible, Vivid is the best time to do so. There are so many nice restaurants to choose from for lunch and dinner. The water front looks amazing throughout the day or night.

Good place to enjoy Vivid Sydney and all the beautiful lighted sights. The area is lighted up like a fairy land for tourists and local visitors. Just enjoy the stroll along the wharf and have a great time. There are many different restaurants and cafes along the harbour area.

Lovely area to spend some time overlooking the water. Many restaurants are around to enjoy a meal while looking at the beautiful view.

Darling Harbour is an absolute gem in the heart of Sydney, and a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. Its vibrant atmosphere, surrounded by stunning views of the city skyline, creates an unforgettable experience. Whether you're strolling along the promenade, exploring the numerous attractions like SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and the Australian National Maritime Museum, or dining at the diverse range of restaurants, Darling Harbour has something for everyone. The fireworks displays on weekends light up the night sky and add to the magic of this place. It's a perfect blend of culture, entertainment, and natural beauty, making it an iconic part of Sydney that captures the city's essence.

Very nice quiet area, our hotel Novatel Murray Street was excellent and it was very close to stop 16 for the Hop on Hop off bus. Good quality food and a happy hour on drinks everyday between 4pm and 6pm

I visited this place because I heard the night view was great, but it wasn't so impressive because there were many other great places in Sydney. You can see a lot of young people in restaurants and bars around the coast. It is nice to leisurely walk along the beach, and there are lots of chairs so it is nice to sit if walking was difficult.

Very quiet, not many places open probably due to COVID restrictions.

Great just empty due covid19

Besides Circular Quay and the Rocks, Darling Harbour is also the place for nighttime activity, dining, and entertainment. It's quite easy to access from Town Hall station, and there are many shopping centres, restaurants, hotels around this area. Spend a couple of hours here to relax as well as the great nighttime view here.

Amazing city with lots to do and places to go, will be amazed by architecture. Just hoping Sydney business hours and lifestyle will change, Gets really boring after business hours

Very quiet placr at the moment...given the covid

Stunning service. Definitely the sofitel you would expect and more!

Not too crowded in the afternoon so it's all good

Great for everyone

Rx Excelente.

I took a walk this place. Beautiful?

I don't like Darling Harbour very much . It is a tourist trap concrete jungle and mostly everything is overpriced and overrated

Nice outing

Great Park in Darling Harbour for kids

Awesome

Great free adventure splash pool/waterpark for the kids, and large open grass parks

... one of my favourite city Sydney and you never get tired of visiting Darling Harbour with its accessible location via Pyrmont Bridge... a beautiful area to explore... with nearby Cockly Bay Wharf, museums, Star Casino, Fishmarket, gardens and walking to nearby Chinatown... and staying at Novotel with the best view!!!

ぶらぶら観光をしながら歩けていいです。観光客も多くとても賑わっていました。レストランや水族館もあり楽しめました！

A great place for the family.

It is the perfect place to holiday. Plenty to do and great restaurants along with attractions for the little members of our families

Good for photo

Forever growing great place to walk around

Do I really need to say anything? Great place for anyone.

Amazing food view has good vibes

Always something happening. Great variety of options for food, young and old. The ferris wheel is a fantastic opportunity to catch your breath, look around and surprisingly affordable

Its hard to give a fair rating during these times. Was a crisp winter morning and beautiful to be out and about. It was no where near as busy as it would or should be but still worth coming in to wander around.

It's a fantastic family day out. Plenty of free activities and paid attractions that keeps you going back for more experiences. Sunday family fun day is a great time to visit.

Enjoyable, nightlife is good and a bunch of things to do.

Lindo lugar con ofertas de comida y distracción.

I love this place. It is amazing! Nowadays it is not as crowded as before and this makes Darling Habour even better. With all its restaurants and fountains I feel that I am really in a heart of Sydney.

Lovely place

All in one place.

perfect place to jog at night. the scenery is just breathtaking.

Great place

Darling Harbour is and always had been my favourite place. There are variety of shops and restaurants where you can sit and enjoy your meal. You can also sit outside and enjoy your coffee.

Love visiting in the evenings, not as many people about on the weekend compared to pre Covid, some venues are closed for dinner, but still many to choose from.

Its so quiet. Ive never seen it so quiet due to covid i suppose. No more fireworks and pub and clubs are open certain times but no dancing all sit down. Still a great time to just hang out with friends and eat and drink.

I rode my disability Scooter through Darling Harbour, to a restaurant offering takeaway at Prymount Point. There is nothing open as of 7th October, not even takeaway. Also of note, HMAS Onslo and HMAS Advance are missing, from the Marentine Museum - along with others, so if you want to see the full fleet, Only HMAS Vampire and the Endeavour re-creation, were visible. It's a shame that takeaway NOT available anywhere in Darling Harbour and even Macca's and all others, closed at Circular Quay. Get vaccinated! Roll on (safe) freedoms. (I'm permitted to have masked outing days, within 5kms, due to medical reasons)

Favourite place to hang out in the city. Lots of water view restaurants to dine at

The place has a positive vibe. Many restaurants are great. If you don’t mind walking for a long time to explore restaurants and retail shops, perfect place for you. I couldn’t go around a lot as my dad was getting tired. And one more thing. A drunkard jumped into the water and was about to drown. I had to save him. 🙄

Always a great spot to be at whether one's a tourist or a local. There are plenty of shops around the area and activites suitable for families.

Somethings are always happening here. A memorable & cheerful place with good variety of food & drinks. Loved the magical view of the harbour on the top of the ferris wheel ❤

Nice place for a weekend outing. Also there is children's park near by. Keep watching out for events held here. For every occasion they host special events and fireworks at times. It is fun being with family and friends

Nice weather, good food, nice people.

Early morning reflections of Darling Harbour❣️What a wonderful harbour precinct playground for locals and tourists. Beautifully kept gardens, interesting architecture and so many other attractions like the Maritime Museum, The National Convention Centre and Aquarium. I thoroughly enjoyed my early morning walks there for several days during a recent trip to Sydney. It seems a runner’s and walker’s paradise in the early morning and there is a popular quiet meditation/Tai Chi area not far from the Chinese Friendship Garden. There are outdoor table tennis tables for TT enthusiasts. There are many, many cafes and restaurants to choose from and some great little coffee shops. Just love Sydney and all it has to offer. k🎡🚢⚓️🚤🛴🚲🎭🍹🍸🌳

Beautiful place to visit especially at night. Plenty of places to eat although not all restaurants are open every night of the week. Easy to access using public transport.

Like to bring my kids to go to there, they can play water in the play ground, also have many things to do there. The part that we loved, get ice cream after play in the water.

Wow! What can I say? This rivals Southbank in Melbourne. All it needs is the fire breathing statues from the restaurants on the board walk in Darling Harbour to the Crown Towers. The same one's they have in Southbank. What a marketing tool. I'm surprised no one in Sydney has done this yet. Overall, this area is 10 stars.

Great day out! What a beautiful city we live in!!!! Breathtaking views, great atmosphere

Was able to visit at a time when fireworks happens to welcome you to syndney. Great architecture and color. Lots of street shows and the vibes were so amazing. Great places to eat in the harbor as well

Always a great place to visit and wheelchair access isn’t issue with plenty of lifts around the area and also accessibility bathrooms at multiple locations. Also can’t wait for IMAX to be finished and open again.

Darling Harbour has had a transformation. Lots to do here. Walk around and take in the sights. Water play park for kids. Close to Chinatown and the markets. Close to the Maritime Museum/The Aquarium and the Powerhouse Museum.

Have always loved Darling Harbour but sadly it's not as beautiful as it once was. It's a fantastic place for the whole family with lots of great places to visit. There's a beautiful big park and a fun playground and water fountain for the kids. So many restaurants, bars and cafes to choose from. You do need a lot of money as everything is quite expensive

Over the years I have had countless memorable moments at Darling Harbour. Not only is the place a desired destination for a weekend day out, I also frequented the place during my lunchtime pre-COVID. Talking about which, it is nice to see the place buzzing with life again in recent times. There is just so much to offer around the harbour ranging from entertainment, fine dining and business ventures. Not to mention the opportunity to have a close-up with the fireworks during celebrations. A must visit in Sydney imo.

Fabulous place for tourists who visit Australia for the first time. Lots of restaurants and pubs are around the place. A gaint wheel($15) lets you observe the birds eye view of the place. They also have this beautiful water show during vivid Sydney times.

Unique architectural buildings and fountains in this area. Close by to a lot of good food too. Good spot for dates or hanging out with friends.

Very good place for meet the friends. I visit at vivid it’s very good place. The restaurants are so good. And walk 7-12min for go to town hall station. When I go with kids they are so happy like they are had heart

Always a good place to visit, Always something to do and see, every attraction is so accessible by foot and light rail , bus, tax &i ferry. Also Great food of all nationalities to be had.

Darling Harbour is an incredible place to bring your family, one of the most fun parks for kids of all ages, sculptures, eateries and entertainment. There is always something going on or something to see of do. A must see during Vivid and at any Fireworks display.

I haven't been to Darling Harbour since the 90s and boy has it changed. Enjoyed walking around, a nice meal and a few drinks in the evening lights. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful area with a great vibe. Fireworks went off while we ate at one of the many restaurants that line the harbour. It's a quick walk from the light rail line which gives you access to many other amenities including other restaurants, shops and even a grocery store. Highly recommended when in the area. Not sure if fireworks are every night, but we same them and it was really spectacular.

First of all don't miss the sunset from the Carousel. Now let's talk about the attractions.... you will get lots of options like aquarium, museum and others but please book it in advance and check the timings also, I found it easy if you can avoid weekends . Other than that lots of area for chilling out, taking snaps in the bridge. Also you can get some peaceful places where you can be alone or spend some quality time with your partner.

Awesome place to visit for a walk or evening out. Very busy area as you can take boat tours or ferries. Lots of restaurants and the ones we attended had really good food. Several attractions ( Maritime museum, aquarium etc) and shops to visit. I just enjoyed walking around and grabbing a coffee in the morning. Easy to walk to from the city area with safe pedestrian accesses.

Beautiful place to walk around. Lots of places to eat and sights to enjoy. Keep an eye out for special events like vivid. Darling harbour is a short walk from China Town. This is my favourite for food in the area and the atmosphere at night is lovely. There is limited shopping nearby but you can walk to the city or bus to Broadway for a few more options. Very scenic and a nice place to visit on a sunny day or a dry evening.

Darling harbour is a great place to visit, its beautiful during the day and night! I went last during 'Vivid Sydney'. It looked amazing , it had so many lights with many sound effects and a fountain show. Must visit!! It can be packed but it's well worth it. Kids will have the best time!!

This place is probably close to one of the best playgrounds in Australia. It's a nice area to go for a stroll by the water. If you have kids, you can walk them to Tumbalong Park Playground. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to go at night. You can take river taxi here so it's pretty cool.

Absolutely in love with this place. Surrounded by great hotels, restaurants, parks and walkways - one cannot ask more. Be it the day or night time - one can find interesting things to do. It's near to madam Toussads, Sea life aquarium, close to train station etc. Take a stroll, grab a bite at lovely restaurants, enjoy the night life - with teenagers dancing to beats or just sit near the waterways to feel the tranquil air. Fun and safe place to bring family.

What a fun place to walk around and get a real feel for downtown Sydney. We got lucky and we're visiting when Vivid was happening so that was an unexpected treat!! From breakfast to late night I was impressed with how many restaurants were open. With all the variety, any craving could be satisfied. It was also relaxing to be able to watch the boats go by and see the ferry dock in/out. Would recommend for any meal and night life if you're passing through the area!

A spectacular sight. You can view the firework here. The path leading to the harbour is really nice. You will walk through a park with places for taking pictures, featuring with ice-cream and light meal shops.

Great place to be, enjoy the soothing refreshing air and feature view. You can also try out sea life, wild life and museum which are the attractions here

Came here by a ferry. The view was great but a bit windy since it’s winter. You can take a walk around this area and enjoy the view.

Lovely place to go for a walk. Restaurant and cafes around. Such a variety of boats in the harbour. Can catch boat taxis to opera house and other locations sea life, wild life , marina museum. Worth a walk around plenty to see by the sea .

Great to walk around, get relax. Enjoy a lot of restaurants or bar around Darling Harbour. Very nice environment!!

We toured the Harbour via a 2 hour lunch time cruise, up on the open-air top deck. Highly recommended. It was a great family friendly way to see the spectacular shoreline of Sydney Harbour. The guide pointed out a 140 million dollar mansion, plus several other spectacular residences, gave a history of several government structures and the view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was second to none.

Darling harbour is just an amazing spot to visit. There are alot of great restaurants, bars and attractions. Transportation is nearby and efficient. Definitely worth spending the walking around it.

A beautiful tourist Mecca, and great place to visit and walk around with some interesting attractions, including the aquarium, Martine museum ,art sculpture and great views of the harbour, There is a lot of work going on around the place across the harbour ,specially on Barangaroo peninsula, but hopefully it will add to the beauty and interest of the place. We went there on a weekend many restaurants and cafes around the place cater to the thousands of visitors, and the place was packed on the Sunday. On the Monday morning we revisited and enjoyed a leisurely stroll out to the peninsula.

Lovely lively place. Sea gulls and tourists enjoying. Little children playing in shallow pools and streams. Many eateries. Clean toilets. Pleasant place. Many landmarks near about . Easy to reach.

We had so much fun over there .. nice walking area and restaurants.. the kids loved it .. there is also sea life and some more attractions unfortunately we didn t have the time to check ..

Close to CBD. Easier to access by public transportation here. It was hard and expensive to park around here. More tourists before COVID. There are a lot of restaurants and Cafe around. Some attractions there. I prefer walking in the evenings because not much shelter. Beautiful view. Have free 7-minute fireworks at 9 pm weekend.

Great place with lots happening always. Easy to get there train to central and light rail from central station. 3 stops and you are there. Short walk and you are in the heart of lots to do see and eat

Place to visit if you are in Sydney, always buzzing with some activity. Children can have fun time playing in sand and water. You can visit China Garden, watch a movie at the IMAX, or enjoy food at some of the good restaurants. Close to China Town and Paddy's markets.

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.

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

Stayed at the recently opened W Sydney Hotel. The building was beautiful inside as it was on the outside. I highly recommend spending the weekend in this gorgeous hotel.

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.
