Sometimes things should be admired from afar. And this is one of those cases. Sydney Opera House is a stunning structure, when there is a certain distance between you and the performing arts venue. Up front you see how old and worn-down it is, and the shine fade. Unless you’re there for a show or a tour of the place, there’s no real reason to go inside. A souvenir shop, but apart from that nothing to see. One perk, though, is the splendid view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Getting off at Circular Quay turned out to be a much longer walk than anticipated. Necessary to take into account if you’re in a rush and just want to pop by.

I remember it being pretty spectacular close up when we were in Sydney in 10 years ago but perhaps it needs a touch up now. #citytripping
I think being so close to the salt water/ocean makes its mark. But I was thinking both outside and inside need an overhaul.
Aw what a shame! I’d call that a Mona Lisa! From afar she looks pretty, but up close, she needs some work! #CityTripping
Ha ha, I love your comparison 😀 Have not seen the Mona Lisa yet.
We have recently moved to northern Queensland but I was determined before starting work that we would get to Sydney to see this awesome iconic structure – and we did! And it is a magnificent sight! #citytripping
It is beautiful from afar. Up close you can see the wear and tear.
It’s so pretty! i’ve always wanted to go!!
Australia was fantastic!
