5. Mrs Macquaries Chair

Wondering where those fantastic photos of the Harbour and Opera House you saw in souvenir shops were taken? You'll know once you visit Mrs. Macquarie's Chair. The wife of Governor Macquarie used to walk to this spot and sit in a chair that had been carved for her. Denizens still call it the best spot for watching fireworks, and couples looking for romance claim it as the best place for a sunset picnic. Walk from St. James station through Hyde Park and past the Art Gallery of New South Wales. BUS: stop number 5 on Sydney Explorer bus.   (© 10Best)
