There's a lot going on over here, with many different wharfs going to many different places, and many different shops and malls that service many different needs. This is pretty much the central of everything Sydney. Just be very mindful about which train you're taking, and which ferry you're boarding. Make sure you check beforehand. Once you board, you may find yourself in a totally different part of where you were initially headed towards. If you're a tourist, you'll want to come to this area for a simple walk. The Circular Quay area is such a gorgeous walk that I can literally go all around it, all through to the other parts of Sydney, cutting the CBD.

The train station is tiny for the amount of people that use it. It easily gets overcrowded and the narrow platforms can feel quite perilous, especially if you are with small children. The train station has a very slow lift and one escalator on each of the two platforms. From here one can connect easily with the Sydney ferry services as well as take buses to North Sydney, the Eastern suburbs, and actually most parts of town that are not serviced by trains or by buses.

Circular Quay boasts undeniable beauty and historic significance, it is marred by the troubling presence of junkies and transportation challenges exacerbated by the high volume of tourists. These issues can deter visitors and locals alike from fully enjoying this iconic location in Sydney. Efforts to address these problems are necessary to restore the area's appeal and ensure a more pleasant experience for all.

The to-go station in the central city of Sydney, North South Wales, Australia. Walking distance to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the famous Sydney Opera House. Highly populated during peak hours, especially weekends. It is a international passenger shipping port, public attractions and tourism precinct, heritage area, and transport node. A common place for those to enjoy New Years Eve fireworks.

Circular Quay is a harbour, former working port and now international passenger shipping port, public piazza and tourism precinct, heritage area, and transport node located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on the northern edge of the Sydney central business district on Sydney Cove, between Bennelong Point and The Rocks. It is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney.

Such a great train station. I went through it for the first time, and it was really easy to see where I was supposed to go; didn't run into any confusion. The signage is great. There are a lot of people packing the train station, but everything is pretty effectively managed. Looking forward to the next time I'm in Sydney and can go through the Circular Quay.

Sydney starts here !! Lovely strolls to the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Botanic Gardens, The Rocks and Barangaroo. Museums, restaurants and cafe's abound. Ferry rides to Manly, Luna Park, Taronga Zoo, Darling Harbour, Cockatoo Island and many other spectacular harbour locations. Plus main suburban trains and light rail. Circular Quay is a must...

An important station with access to harbor ferry services, Sydney harbour bridge area , Opera house and many more scenic surrounding locations. Served by Sydney trains. Includes through services via Central station. The station platform has scenic views of the Sydney harbour bridge. Passenger amenities are good

Circular Quay no matter the time of day or time of week, there is always so much going on here. The weekend has a vast range of street performers wondering around, keeping the kids & tourists entertained. As well just get the ferry to Manly for an ice cream or spend a data the Taronga Zoo to see the monkeys.

The train stop at Circular Quay is a transport hub with ferries, light rail and buses all located in the area. This stop is perfect for exploring the Rocks, Circular Quay, the Opera House and also the Harbour Bridge via foot. There is lots to do in the area including museums and self-guided walking tours

Busy station with two platforms going either to T2 Leppington line or T3 T5 East Hills etc. Access via Ground. Totally avoid when there’s any events at Circular Quay such as Vivid or NYE etc, otherwise you risk entering a war zone. Upgraded shops on promenade are good, including the Messina gelato.

Circular Quay in Sydney is one of the most chilled out and beautiful places to hang out in even if alone... The ferry ride to Neutral bay was dramatic with a Majestic Princess Cruise ship docked looking almost as large as the Sydney Hsrbour Bridge...definitely worth spending time here..

I always enjoy coming to Circular Quay. The vibe is very different from rest of the city. There a lot of Cafes and restaurants to choose from, catch a ferry or cruise to enjoy the harbor views, stroll through the lanes of The Rocks and so much more. It never gets boring.

Very cool view from the station, you can see all the boats and ferries docking at Circular Quay. Nicely connected with other forms of public transport from the station. Sometimes quite crowded but overall pretty nice place to walk around. Looks really cool at night too.

A must go place when one's in Sydney. The harbour is no lack of people as it is always crowded no matter day or night with locals as well as tourist. There are also street performance by the river front. Scenic place to take photos of the Opera House & Harbour Bridge.

This station has the best view in the world! Great place to take a picture of the main two icons of Sydney. It's also above the busy Circular Quay ferry wharf. Trains run in both directions towards Central Station. Crowded times include weekends and school holidays.

One of the most interesting railway stations on the planet. Great view to opera house and harbor bridge. A bit confusing in its layout and the various stairs. But absolutely worth the effort to gain superb views. And actual trains will arrive and depart as well :-)

Melbourne has Flinders Street Station and Sydney has Circular Quay! Circular Quay is really the heartbeat of Sydney iconic ferry network and is a great place to go to any suburb for a much cheeper quicker price while getting stunning views of Sydney Harbour!

Where do I start? is it the stunning views of Sydney Harbour from the platform? or the ability to connect ferries with trains? Maybe you can walk to Sydney Opera House and the Botanical Gardens... are you hungry or thirsty? Cafés are aplenty... I like it!

This should be the spot to get of the train after coming from Sydney airport. Everything from here is within walking distance. For example accomodation (YHA). Lot of sight seeing spots here. Can literally spend a whole day exploring from this point on.

Picturesque area for people watching. Take some time to marvel at exactly how big a cruise ship is, and then walk over to Gelateria Messina and eat some gelato while watching Sydney's iconic green and yellow ferries bring passengers all over the city.

A great train station that links you to Sydney Ferries and major Sydney landmarks: Opera House, MCA, Botanical gardens, harbour bridge. Fantastic views of the the quay as well. Check out the photo from vivid 2017 that I took from the station.

Words would not enhance any experience of Circular Quay. 6 August 2023. Do visitors and sightseers fully realise the significance of Circular Quay? Sydney Harbour is supposed to be the most natural harbour in the world. There is no need for

Board a ferry to destinations around the harbour from Circular Quay. It's also accessible by tram, bus and train. The city skyline provides a nice background as you depart in a ferry from the wharf. The ferries also pass the Opera House

This is a spectacular and bustling part of Sydney where the city and inner harbour intersect. The train station is just above the harbour ferry terminal, near the museum of contemporary art and The Rocks restaurants. Views to the Sydney

The station itself is pretty average, almost embarrassing. However, what it does have going for it is the beautiful view of the harbour you can enjoy while waiting for your train... Although this is only true if you are going in one

This should be your lifeline into Sydney's downtown! The ferries, trains and buses drop you off right across from the Opera House, eateries, cafes and pubs. You're also walking distance from heaps of cultural destinations and parks.

Beautiful station, with a beautiful view, Trains, Light rail, Buses and Ferries go past the station. There are lifts from the concourse to the platform. (don't worry, you get a great view of the opera house and harbour bridge!)

A surprisingly fast and efficient ferry service that can get you all around Sydney harbour quickly and at relatively little cost. It's an excellent way to get great views of the city and, in particular, the Opera House.

Inaccurate information; poor crowd control; inaccurate destination boards; should've used larger ferries or increased frequency for Vivid. I felt sorry for the crew as it was poor managerial decision.

Great place to visit for a day out, has access to Sydney ferries, Fantastic views. Great restaurants. Accessible by train and bus. It's right on the shore but unable to swim but can fish responsibly.

We disembarked from the Celebrity Solstice and walked approximately 300m to the train station to take the train to the Airport. A little bit shabby but it was functional and met our needs perfectly

A beautiful area next to the harbour with plenty of attractions, including the Opera House, Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary Art. A definite place to visit when exploring Sydney!

Great views of Sydney harbour, easy location to access by train or light rail. Excellent late night restaurants, easy walk to the iconic opera house, and the beautiful Botanical gardens.

Fun and lively area with lots of beautiful scenery from the Opera to the Harbour Bridge. Lots of great people watching as well as several bars and restaurants as well as special events.

The world's best train station! Amazing views with connection to the Manly Ferry. What is there not to like? Look out on one side to the harbour, and on the other to city vistas.

Love circular quay area, ferries to go everywhere and close to the Rocks then walk under the harbour bridge to Barangaroo. News Extra at circular quay is a must for breakfast

I love this place as I can take a short ferry trip around the Harbor or to Mainly. Also there is an Opera theater , Botanic gardens and lots of restaurants at Curcukar Quay.

Amazing views and plenty of shops to just sit, relax, enjoy a cup of coffee and chill. Whale watching from Fantasea Cruise was amazing. Definitely a trip to be remembered.

We absolutely loved spending time in circular quay this weekend we had so much fun. Main highlight was seeing the exceptional musical at the Opera house "A Chorus Line"

glad they removed the board blocking the view they had before nice view of the bridge opera house and our habour and its clean and plenty of fscilities around

Plenty of things to do here with restaurants nearby, ferries, light rail, trains and busses all in the one place. Good access to the CBD and Opera House too

Sydney light rail services as seen at Circular Quay in late October 2022. The depot includes transportation to Kingsford and Randwick (L2, L3).

The most popular station. And deservedly so as it is the gateway to most tourist attractions popular in Sydney as well as the cruise terminal.

It's good to take a train from Bondi Junction to here via Town hall and back to get off and change train to Circular Quay and it's awesome.

Good transit station. Signage is clear and well displayed. Transit hub for many ferry's across Sydney harbor. Can be a bit crowded. Plenty

Best place to catch of the view of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Great restraunts and vibes. Must attend if you are visiting Sydney

A great place for transport - ferries, buses, trains, light rail and walking too. Make use of the Seniors Opal Card $2.50 all day rides.

The best public transport platform in the world. The Sydney ferry is an absolute icon and it is the best way to indulge Sydney.

Colorful eye-catching Vivid.Sydney lighting and jostling happy crowd and exciting cruise trip.. …

Circular Quay Station Visitors should take a Train to check these beautiful Natural Views Recommended …

Good central location from which to start Sydney exploring. Ability to swap over to the Sydney Ferries as well.

This is the metro station near Sydney opera house. About 10 mins walk from this station to Sydney opera house.

Went there quite some time ago with my family members. An iconic landscape of Sydney that must not be missed.

Landmark of Sydney. You can't stop going back to this place throughout your lifetime. Awesome views and vibes

Expensive tourist trap, but I'd go again, and again and again! Lovely atmosphere in the day and the night

Easy to get to other areas in Sydney from this train terminal especially to mascot & Sydney Airport

Nice and busy Quay in the CBD area. Nice scenery around with many cafe to enjoy high tea and meal.
