The Sydney Opera House is one of Australia’s most celebrated cultural landmarks, blending visionary architecture with a year-round calendar of opera, theatre, dance and contemporary performances. Its position on Bennelong Point offers some of the most striking harbour views in Sydney, making it as impressive to visit during the day as it is for an evening show. 

For guests of InterContinental Sydney Double Bay, it’s an effortless outing: a 15-minute drive or a scenic ferry ride from Double Bay Wharf that delivers you directly to Circular Quay. From there, it’s a short waterfront stroll to the forecourt, where the sails rise dramatically above the harbour. 

Whether you’re here for a guided tour, a performance or simply to soak in the atmosphere, the Opera House adds an iconic touch to any Sydney stay.
