While staying at the Sofitel in Darling Harbour i had a lovely walk this morning. There is plenty to see and the walk by the harbour is very relaxing, even the construction going on for the new Harbo…Full review by AnhArmaan

Just a great stroll. Plenty of places to eat, drink, rest or just simply enjoy the waterfront. Easily accessible by ferry from Circular quay too.Full review by puckstopper31

Are there any protests around Darling Harbor? Good evening everyone, hope you are all staying safe in these troubling times. I am looking to have some holiday time in the near future at the Darling Harbor, but have heard there are currently some protests in Sydney. While I know these are peaceful protests in nature, unfortunately it would all be a bit much for me, as I currently have a permanent bout of Lou Gehrig’s disease, which limits my physical functions. Thus making transversing through a large crowded area highly untenable. I hope this finds you well. Please note, for the record, I like both the left and ring wings of politics, but am probably most aptly described as being of the apathetic center of the political spectrum, and therefore I don’t wish for this to be engaged with as a political discussion on the protests themselves. Thanks in advance

Your politics are irrelevant. Darling Harbour is great and worth the visit If there us a demon station just get on the tram and go elsewhere. You can get a ferry to Circular Quay and/or Mankey. Both are lovely.
We are staying just near Darling Harbour on NYE. Is this a good place to see the Sydney bridge fireworks or not because I have read they do their own firework display? Is it worth trying to get somewhere near the bridge? If so, is there anywhere we can book a table? Or are the Darling Harbour fireworks as good and if so, again is there anywhere I can book a table? Looked at boat trips but The cheapest I’ve found is about £300 GBP per person. All hints/tips welcomed.

One of the best views is from the Altitude bar and restaurant at the top of the Shangri-la hotel in the Rocks. They sell tickets but will be pricey. Down around Circular Quay too but again most places will sell tix for NYE.
We will be flying in from the US on a Friday early AM and will be staying in Sydney for 3 nights. We have a Blue Mountain excursion planned for one day. Is Darling Harbour a good place to get a Hotel or would the Rocks be better?

They are pretty close to each other so I wouldn’t see much difference. There is so much public transport to use, or you could take Uber or Ola too. Anywhere in the central Sydney area would be fine :)

I have walked it but it might be an hour. Also if you have a smartphone. You could use Uber or a taxi. You could also take a train from Circular Quay to Town Hall Station. It would be a few blocks walk on both ends.

Hi Teresa, As regards Fire Works in Sydney during the year, New Years Eve on the Harbour each yr with the best vantage point is near the Opera House or Mrs Macquarie Point / Botanical Gardens. Not sure about Darling Harbour? as its close to buildings etc, fire all the fireworks from barges on the Harbour each New Year, Sydney Harbour bridge is spectacular every yr. Chris, NSW.
