Walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens at sunrise. The gardens open at sunrise, so you will have the paths to yourself. Enjoy the quiet atmosphere as the sun rises over the harbour.
07:17
Grab a bite at Ash St Cellar for lunch. This laneway bar serves tapas-style share plates and has a great atmosphere. It opens at noon, so this is the perfect time to stop for a meal after your walk.
07:47
Stroll through The Domain. This historic land offers a buffer of green space with roads and paths constructed in the 1830s. It is a short walk from the lunch spot and provides a pleasant, open area to finish your morning.
Local tip
The gardens are fully fenced, so take care not to get locked in at closing time. Arriving at sunrise ensures you see the area when it is quietest.
