No visit is complete without taking in the splendour of Sydney Harbour, home to two of the country’s most recognisable landmarks—the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Stroll along the waterfront, take a guided tour inside the Opera House, or feel the thrill of climbing the bridge for a breathtaking view from 440 feet above sea level.
Local tip: Picture-perfect, the Sydney Opera House is best viewed from the Manly ferry, Mrs Macquarie’s Chair in the Royal Botanic Gardens (free entry), or from the other side of the Harbour Bridge.
Circular Quay is the hub of the city’s waterfront activity, where ferries come and go beneath the sails of the Opera House. Just around the corner lies The Rocks, one of Sydney’s oldest districts. Wander the cobblestone laneways, explore weekend markets, and soak up local history in charming pubs and galleries
For stunning ocean views, sandy beaches and seaside cafés, the Bondi to Coogee walk is a must. This 3.7-mile coastal path winds past cliffs, coves and saltwater pools, showcasing Sydney’s iconic beach culture along the way.
Set beside the harbour, the Royal Botanic Garden offers a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. Spanning 74 acres, it’s perfect for a relaxing stroll among exotic plants, native flora, and sweeping harbour views.
Just a 30-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay, Manly Beach offers a more relaxed beachside experience. Surf, swim or simply stroll along the promenade and enjoy an ice cream. The ferry ride itself is a scenic highlight, offering postcard-perfect views of the harbour.
Sydney’s dining scene is as diverse as its people. Enjoy fresh seafood with a view at harbourside restaurants, sip cocktails at rooftop bars, or sample international flavours in tucked-away eateries.
Browse weekend markets in The Rocks, discover fresh produce at Carriageworks Farmers Market, or join locals in the city’s café scene with artisan coffee and brunch culture on full display.
From fine dining in Surry Hills to multicultural eats in Newtown and trendy wine bars in Paddington, Sydney’s neighbourhoods are packed with flavour and flair. Don’t miss the fusion of Pacific, Asian and European influences that define the city’s food culture.
