Wilson Parking Sydney Opera House car park is the closest to the Opera House and is located at 2 Macquarie Street (northern end). Vehicle entry is adjacent to the Sydney Opera House Forecourt. It’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

During busy times parking may be limited. We recommend arriving early or pre-booking. And if you want a speedy exit after the concert, remember to pre-pay just after you arrive.

On the way out
The car park can get a little busy after a concert. To avoid the rush, why not have a late supper or treat yourself to a dessert at one of the many nearby cafés?

There are other public car parks nearby:

• Gold Fields House, 13-17 Pitt Street
• Sir Stamford Hotel car park, Alfred Street
• Intercontinental Hotel car park, Phillip Street
• Secure Parking at 131 Macquarie Street.

Between Friday 24 May to 15 June 2024 only the Courtesy Bus pickup and drop will be at the bus stop on Philip St outside Justice and Police Museum.

For elderly or less mobile customers, there’s a free Courtesy Bus between Circular Quay and the entrance to the Sydney Opera House foyer. There is lift access in the foyer.

The bus is wheelchair accessible and departs from the pedestrian concourse, underneath the Cahill expressway. Seating is limited, so it’s first come, first served.
