Australia’s Crowning Jewel
Sydney’s dazzling port has become the very image of Australia to many tourists – and for good reason. From the stunning and much-lauded architecture to the bustling cafés and restaurants lining the harbour, this stretch of Sydney is a must-include on any first-timers itinerary. However, while the iconic Opera House may sometimes steal the spotlight, the harbour city holds a ton of equally exciting attractions for you to discover.
For culture-buffs, Sydney’s impressive selection of museums is sure to delight. They’ll have the pick of browsing world-class art at the cavernous Art Gallery NSW, discovering the country’s history at The Australian Museum and much more.
If a bit of fun in the sun is more your speed, you’ll be excited to learn that Sydney offers plenty of opportunities to make the most of the gorgeous weather. We recommend you hop on a ferry and enjoy a scenic trip up to the Northern Beaches, which are less crowded than Bondi but every bit as golden. Additionally, the nearby Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is home to lush landscapes perfect for hikes and bike rides. Cap off your day by venturing out into the shimmering Sydney nightlife, where gourmet restaurants, no-frills eateries, and fancy cocktail bars cater to patrons of all tastes.
All in all, you’ll find that Sydney lives up to its reputation as one of the iconic, must-visit cities of the world.
