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.

Circular quay has lots of food options by the quay and by the walk along the bay.

Beautiful views of the Sydney harbour bridge, ships, skyline.

That's one of my post lunch walk routes. I really enjoy the soothing atmosphere and stunning Circular Quay views of our beautiful city, Sydney.

Truly, hidden gem ! I’ve driven past the walkway and the look out thousands of times without realising it was there.
It offers a different view and perspective of the rocks and circular Quay. Well worth the short walk.

Great vantage point for a view of the harbour area. During vivid 2023 drone shows, patiently arriving 40 minutes early paid off after seeing the shoulder to shoulder crowds below. During non drone moments it's not busy at all and an elevator helps too.

Amazing views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Accessible via lifts from the ground level from Circular Quay as listed on Google Maps. The lookout itself is adjucent to a busy road so can be a little noisy.

Amazing views over the Rock's and harbour, best spot to watch Vivid or fireworks 🎆 or just to the many types of ships 🚢 doing their thing 😀 highly recommended if you are in Sydney for taking photos of your trip, the jacaranda trees are in bloom and look amazing 👏 it worth coming and taking photos of the jacaranda trees in bloom before the the purple disappears

Ein sehr schöner Weg mit atemberaubenden Ausblick auf die Sydney Oper und die Skyline. Man gelangt per Aufzug nach oben und kann dann entspannt bis auf die Harbour Bridge laufen. Eine Empfehlung.
