Things To Do in Sydney

Nestled around its fine natural harbour, it’s easy to see why Sydney is considered one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Modern, exciting and noted for its pacey energy embraced in its architecture and love of its natural splendours and outdoor lifestyles, it’s no wonder it’s one of the traveller’s ultimate destinations.

Sydney is an international city yet with a very Australian flavour and aquatic appeal boasting superb harbour side civic developments such as the Sydney Opera House and Darling Harbour. North and south of The Heads, the spectacular sandstone sentries to Sydney Harbour, lie a string of world renowned sandy surf beaches: Bondi, Manly, Cronulla and Palm Beach, to name a few, the birth grounds of Sydney’s, in fact, Australia’s surf cult and beach crazy adulation.

Sydney’s CBD offers an abundance of shopping choices from vogue names to chic to trendy to warehouse outlets and markets. Numerous inner city and nearby special shopping tours are organised for visitors, also transfers to restaurants, entertainment and nightlife venues as well as to all attractions.

A cruise on Sydney Harbour is a must, whether during daylight, sunset or for dinner to catch the spectacular city lights and harbour reflections. You’ll embrace the serenity the harbour offers amid the bustle around you as you glide under the Harbour Bridge, pass the Quay and the historic Rocks area, the Opera House, Fort Denison, Taronga Zoo and the harbour side parks, islands and suburbs. Tours are conducted on luxury cruisers, floating restaurants, fast thrill boats and even a tall square rigger ship.

A walk over the arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge rewards trekkers with a spectacular view of the city. Adrenalin zoom addicts are further catered by a variety of exhilarating harbour and ocean jet boat rides, skydiving, strike bowling, even perhaps swimming with sharks or walking around the roof of the Sydney Tower.

Discover the spectacular Blue Mountains and see native wildlife whilst you explore the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park. Visit Katoomba and view the famous Three Sisters rock formation from Echo Point on the edge of the valley escarpment. Then stay at Jenolan Caves to explore the magnificent limestone formations created over eons.

Day trips to the stunning south and north coastal regions offer travellers superb beach, ocean and escarpment scenery. A visit to Canberra is a rewarding experience, observing the elegant architectural and civic planning dedicated to the creation of one of the youngest national capitals in the world. The beautiful Hunter River region introduces visitors to one of the country’s fine wine regions with tours visiting numerous wineries while passing some of the nation’s premier horse breeding studs.
