How to Reach

While Mrs Macquaries Chair is a bit of a walk from the metro, it's still your best bet to avoid Sydney's traffic. Many visitors take an auto-rickshaw for the last stretch.

1

Board the T2 Inner West & Leppington

Look for trains heading towards Circular Quay. Check the display boards for confirmation.

2

Get off at Circular Quay

The station is well-marked. Use the main exit towards the street level.

3

Head to Mrs Macquaries Chair

Around 25 minutes walking. Consider a shared auto (₹20-30) if you prefer.

Local Tip

Walk through Royal Botanic Garden from Circular Quay

Prefer not to walk? Auto-rickshaws and cabs are available right outside Circular Quay station. Negotiate the fare before you hop in, or use Uber/Ola for fixed pricing.

About Mrs Macquaries Chair

Carved from sandstone for Governor Macquarie's wife to watch ships.

Circular Quay metro station is the closest to Mrs Macquaries Chair, though you'll want to factor in the 25-minute walk (or grab an auto). It's not the shortest commute, but the metro still beats sitting in Sydney traffic.

While you're in the area, consider checking out Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge – they're near the same metro station and can easily be combined into a single trip.
