Dating in Sydney CBD and The Rocks
In shortThe city centre is where trains, buses and ferries from every side of Sydney meet, so it is the fairest place for a first date. The Rocks has old sandstone lanes and pubs, and the harbour is never far away. If it goes well, dinner is a short walk.
A first date idea
A harbourside walk in the Royal Botanic Garden
The Royal Botanic Garden is free to enter and a five minute walk from the city centre. It opens at 7am every day and closes at 8pm in November to February, earlier in the cooler months. It can close early in extreme weather, so check before a hot summer afternoon.
