Cupid Statue, Sydney, Guía del visitante y qué hacer cerca

The Cupid Statue is a sculpture in the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney, found off Mrs Macquaries Rd close to the city centre. It is a small, quiet stop among the garden's lawns and paths, and a pleasant landmark to look for on a walk through this part of Sydney.

Tips for your visit

• The statue is outdoors in the garden, so there is no building to enter. Allow ten to fifteen minutes for the statue itself, and more if you want to wander the paths nearby.
• Morning or late afternoon is usually the most comfortable time to walk, with softer light for photos and fewer hot hours in the open.
• The garden is large, so load a map on your phone before you set out, and check current opening hours for the garden before you go.
• Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. The Sydney Opera House and Mrs Macquarie's Chair are in the same part of the city, so the statue fits easily into a longer harbourside walk.
